Keyboardist: Gail Nobles Story by Gail Nobles Photo: Public Domain Wikipedia Let us pause for a moment and reflect upon the majestic journey of Johnny Taylor! Yes, Johnny, that soulful sage, that philosopher of soul, who took us on a lyrical pilgrimage to a place that words can barely capture—Soul Heaven! Oh, it was more than just a dream; it was a divine rendezvous, a celestial concert where the echoes of greatness linger. He found himself immersed in a symphony of voices, in a gathering of luminaries—the Bar-Kay’s, the smooth croon of Sam Cooke, the electric energy of Jr. Walker, and the captivating presence of Sammy Davis Jr. just to name a few! Each note danced through the air like a whisper, wrapping around his spirit and lifting him higher, higher into the realms of glory. And oh, what joy it must have brought him! He didn’t want to wake up, dear friends. No, he was basking in a brilliance that transcended time—a communion with those who once cast their shadows over the stage of life, living legends reunited in harmony. Can you feel the rhythm of joy? Can you sense the light of love? In Soul Heaven, there is no darkness. But now, as the sun sets on Johnny Taylor's life, we find comfort in knowing that the Lord called him home. And perhaps, just perhaps, in that sacred moment, Johnny stepped into the very Dream that he sang about! He joined those celestial souls, those King’s and Queen’s of the past, in an everlasting place where the music never fades. Oh, Johnny, philosopher of soul, your echoes still! You took us to heights unknown, and though you are no longer here within our midst, the legacy you left lingers like a sweet melody in our hearts. Soul Heaven awaits us all. I’m Gail Nobles.
