Savage Selects V5

Billy Paul - Let the (Steem) Dollar Circulate


An Economic Recommendation on More Than One Front



As a DJ, I've started quite a few sets of mine with this tune. It has a unique flair and build to it, which helps catalyze the energy I tend to aim for through the rest of my set. Amid the Great Inflation of the 70s, Paul addresses many of the contributors towards the massive economic downturn in each verse. Punctuating these phrases, Paul holds out a long "please" before additional voices enter to help make the song's ultimate suggestion. Horns and percussion additionally enter to fill out a warm, impressive low end sound.

Unfortunately, Paul passed in 2016 and would not have gotten a chance to witness the rise of Steem over the past two years. In spirit of Paul, perhaps it should be the unofficial anthem of this platform! Give it a listen and let me know what you think!
