this olde son findes himself going back again and again to my own tunes.

Just the other day one of my schoolmates was singing one of mine to himself during class break. (OLDE LOVE)

I was amazed and humbled.

I recognized it and mentioned it to my school chum.

He just went on and on about how he couldn't get it out of his head. wow!

 

this is one of my faves.

A jazz type cover that was recorded by me a few years ago. It does something to me every time. MY EVERGREEN thanks for lettin' me share. TD

Soul music of the late 60's/early 70's.

 

I didn't buy that music. It was just ever-present in my young life. Hearing Billy Paul, Issac Hayes, Bloodstone, The Manhattans, Bill Withers, The Jackson 5ive. This music played in my neighborhood. It was the music of our older sisters and brothers. It poured out of car windows and AM radios from next door's garage. Through our older sibling's closed bedroom doors. Or dripping out of my mom's car AM when I could convince her to tune in pop music...

 

I love it.

:thu::thu::thu: for soul music here, too.

 

I'm prob a bit older - we DID buy the 45s - Booker T, Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Ray Charles, Sam & Dave, Aretha, Junior Walker, Otis Redding, Gladys Knight, The Supremes, the Four Tops, Percy Sledge, Sly Stone, etc., and more than any other of the soul artists, Stevie Wonder albums were staples in the middleclasswhiteboyrocker vinyl collections.

 

In the long stretch of years I've been ransacking the back catalogs for soul artists I didn't know much about back in the day. In the intervening years since the old days, I've added these to my list of the exalted ones;

 

Solomon Burke

The Staple Singers

Jackie Wilson

Curtis Mayfield

Al Green

Syl Johnson

James Carr

and the incomparable Etta James.

 

Queue 'em UP!!!!
