Above all, James Brown is constantly close to the concerns of Mr. everyone as Ray Charles moves away from the soul and Sam Cooke begins to be booked in Las Vegas.

When Franz Schubert in 1827 invited a friend to the first performance of his Winterreise, he called it "a cycle of horrifying songs". The texts that he had chosen to set were by the poet Wilhelm Müller, whose 24 poems form a psychodrama which starts with regret over a lost love but develops into an inner voyage in which a nameless Wanderer probes for answers to existential questions.
