Happy Thanksgiving, you all!
This is certainly a trying and unique one. Most of us aren’t doing what we traditionally do. And many of us are missing people at the table in 2020.
As is my wont, here’s a Monday playlist to take you into this year’s day of thanks. This collection ranges from songs about food, to family, to longing, to of course giving thanks, and back again.

Soul, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Gospel, Reggae, and more are included in this playlist to celebrate this most special and taxing of Thanksgivings.
While this has been the worst year on record for many of us, it has not been without its bright spots and reasons to be thankful.
One such personal reason for the thanks of the request to contribute weekly playlists from my friend Lori Lakin Hutcherson. She is a sista that I have not seen in person in nearly decades, but has become a wonderful social media friend and the gig of making these collections for GOOD BLACK NEWS and been the brightest of Covid era silver linings.
I don’t know if these are enjoyed by dozens or thousands but it has been an honor and delight to compile them on the weekly.
Whether you are safely gathering or going it alone on Thursday, here’s hours of music to sustain and nourish your ears and soul.
Stay safe sane, and kind you all. “See” ya next week.
