BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986
Whether one is religious or not, one of the silver linings is often art inspired by religion, whether it is music, painting, or architecture. For this Christmas, I chose an appropriate lyrical message for our chaotic times.
Seasons Greetings
Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas
Love & Light

“Caravan of Love” is a 1985 R&B hit originally recorded by Isley-Jasper-Isley, the second half of The Isley Brothers’ 3 + 3 lineup of the 1970s.
In November 1986 British indie band The Housemartins released “Caravan of Love”. The a cappella song was a success, reaching #1 in the UK Singles Chart on 16 December 1986, (only the second a cappella recording to do so, after “Only You” by the Flying Pickets in 1983), before being denied the Christmas number one single by a posthumous re-release of Jackie Wilson’s “Reet Petite”. “Caravan Of Love” was an international success also reaching #1 in Ireland and Sweden and top five in several European countries.
