Listen, babyAin't no mountain highAin't no vally lowAin't no river wide enough, babyIf you need me, call meNo matter where you areNo matter how farJust call my nameI'll be there in a hurryYou don't have to worry'Cause baby,There ain't no mountain high enoughAin't no valley low enoughAin't no river wide enoughTo keep me from getting to youRemember the dayI set you freeI told youYou could always count on meFrom that day on I made a vowI'll be there when you want meSome way,some how'Cause baby,There ain't no mountain high enoughAin't no valley low enoughAin't no river wide enoughTo keep me from getting to youNo wind, no rainMy love is aliveWay down in my heartAlthough we are miles apartIf you ever need a helping handI'll be there on the doubleAs fast as I canDon't you know thatThere ain't no mountain high enoughAin't no valley low enoughAin't no river wide enoughTo keep me from getting to youDon't you know thatThere ain't no mountain high enoughAin't no valley low enoughAin't no river wide enough

There are so many great songs to choose from. I chose an R&B/Soul song, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, because it is one of my favorites. I think that they do a great job in showing a lot of energy and movement when they perform. The lyrics do not really say anything specific about black culture or politics, but I think the way they use their voices, the tone and quality, show characteristics of African American language. It is a duet about two people that love each other. I think it's great!
