Leela James - TRYING TO GET BY

[@deborahfrazier7844]

Thank you Leela for this song about our struggles. I'm 66 years old, & we need more songs like this so the younger generation can keep carrying the plight of our people. Marvin Gaye did, Stevie Wonder, Aretha, so many others as well. I love your music!! Keep going baby girl!!!! 👍❤

Leela is the most unrated, quintessential NIECE of SOUL! (QUEEN = ARETHA, PRINCESS = FANTASIA, AUNT= PATTI...LEELA IS THE NIECE)This song, this video...this message...says it ALL

[@nathanielgood5848]

You are one of the best female artists I've heard in decades. Please don't allow the wrong people who could never do what you are doing to, change you. When that happens you may lose yourself and we'll loose great and genuine music

[@thumbsaloft]

This sister should be a SUPERSTAR! She sounds way way way better than many of the ones that get all the attention! She sounds like the OLD SCHOOL and that's great!

[@Sherrie58]

Leela you always come through with great music. These lyrics to this song is confirmation for me in the midst of some challenges in my life but I've got to keep on holding on and pressing forward. Thank you for your encouraging words through song and music.

[@dwighteubanks3771]

"Three the Hard Way, Across 110th Street, SuperFly, The Mack. Bobby Womack, James Brown, Curtis Mayfield.....Leela, that's where your song took me back to in time. Trying to Get By is beautiful, those were the good ole days. Your song makes me feel, The more things change, the more they stay the same."

Such a vibe.. 🙌🏾I could definitely see Leela and Alicia Keys doing a collaboration 🤗

[@jaybee4307]

I'm sorry. Leela is way better than Alicia. Leela should do a duet with someone like Ledisi (who is at her caliber).

Yes Leela every song is a natural hit

[@Koda19651]

Love her ❤️

[@HellcatMad]

I am a big believer in Nesara/Gesara and I hope this will not go to peoples head, but give them the opportunity to do better. Easter is this Sunday and prayers up, we may have a Great Blessing coming. if Nesara is true, let's do better than a gold grill and 28s
