“What Everyone Must Know About The Magic In Music – Raymond Sanders On Clout, Money, And Power

Music is the one universal language everyone can speak – Even without words. It’s the purest form of magic, and its POWER has transcended attitude, mood, apace, and time; Hearing a particular song can bring you back to a specific place and time = Magic! Can you imagine what life would be like without music?


The words song and melody appear in the Bible (combined) between 150 and 200 times, which means Go himself is fascinated with music, more specifically songs. There are all kinds of passages pointing to worship, and there’s not one Church that would dare to start Sunday morning service without the timbrel and dance. We ALL need music, and the spoken word fits nicely inside of it.

What’s magical about the moment we are in is that Christmas’s spirit always seems to rise above what folks are feeling, or at least it looks that way as of Cyber Monday. 

Roughly 186 million shoppers purchased something online or in-store from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, down from 190 million a year ago, the National Retail Federation said Tuesday. Shoppers spent an average of $312, a 14 percent drop from $362 in 2019.2 days ago.”

Look at the overall consumption of everyday consumers, many of whom are out of work or barely getting by but find ways to shop when they believe there’s a sale or some kind of value proposition. Music, oh yes, the topic of this week’s roundtable segment. So you can make the connection to Music and Magic, I had to help you see numbers you understand. For this example, I will use rap music (we are urban here). Hip-Hop, R&B, and Rap are dominating in the streaming world – Topping every other medium. There’s never been a more profitable time for actual artists in music. For years the BIG money was reserved for writers and music producers, with vocalists glorified worker bees for hire.

“In 2017, Goldman found live music, publishing, and recorded songs made $26 billion$6 billion, and $30 billion respectively. The firm estimates by 2030 these categories will reach $38 billion for live music, $12.5 billion for publishing; With biggest gains seen in recorded songs at $80 billion.”

And he has toured with Michael Bolton overseas through the City Kids New Haven, CT initiative. Raymond, in short, can and will sing you silly if the spirit hits him just right. A gift, straight from the throne of grace.
