Legends of Soul

Gocher city history meets urban & street art.
Historical scavenger hunt for young and old, across the city of Goch.

“Legends of Soul”, Weseler Str, Goch from RAL 9000 aka Pascal Wiese and appreciaten from Düsseldorf as part of the “Goch history meets StreetArt” festival.

On the left we see the "Queen of Soul" Aretha Franklin, who unfortunately left us in 2018, with her biggest hit "Respect", which originally came from Otis Redding in 1965, and the wife's respect for her hardworking people Husband themed, then was completely turned around by Aretha in 1967 and thus became a hymn of the feminist women's movement and the Afro-American freedom movement. She sings from the point of view of a strong and self-confident woman who does not put up with everything! It became her biggest hit!

On the right you can see the “Godfather of Soul” James Brown, who left us in 2006 with his song “I feel good”, in which he describes that he is floating on clouds because he has found his true love.
Sing along once

RAL 9000 actually trained as a vehicle painter, but since the company did not take him over for economic reasons, he decided to choose graffiti as his profession, and that's a good thing! 

Most of all, customers love his old people's faces
