Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

This why they called it Soul Music.
"Every lie owes a debt to truth". A debt that must be paid.






Shazam! This James Carr sure knew how to genuinely sing rhythm and blues! With the accent on BLUES. Thank you very much for introducing him! I was ignorant of this fine artist.
 
Well, this guy in the song had some nerve!

In the superficial world of impressions at first sight clothing makes a big impression. But first sight fades into history extremely rapidly. The Brits take clothing as far more important than we do.

Saw a band at Bumbershoot once. The Bassist played a pink instrument. Never had the cojones to try to pull that off. Maybe if I'd been married at the time...
 
Wish I knew what particular post this referred to.
Yeah I get that a lot two. Especially difficult when You tube has removed the song

But as I recall it was
Sheryl Crow, Beautiful Dreamer. As well done as ever I have herd.
 
Yay, one tune came back from 1966....


Isn't it strange. The guys pics in 1966 don't match with the same men in 2015. Lost a LOT of hair. Faces saggy and baggy. If only I knew who the face belonged to in my mirror. Have a photo from 1975, can't find that that face in the mirror at all. It IS amazing how much we change over a lifetime. The true cuttingness is that I didn't spend any time savoring the time I had along the way.
Hard to savor it still, there's only craggy, saggy and baggy to be seen. Still have most of my hair, I am thankful for that!
 
A sad day today: Mac Rebennack or 'Dr John', as he was best known, dead at 77. This guy I loved. He was a true enigma, influencing many, many other musicians both in blues and rock. A truly great loss.

Here he is, in all his glory, with Don Was on bass:

A bigger than life character, who hobnobbed with the best:


An American original, we were so fortunate to have him! May he rest in peace, we will remember him fondly in the foreseeable future.
Never saw Mr Clapton playing an ES335 before, fwiw.

Thank you for running it down. Sheryl Crow was such a bad singer in her earliest career that I was sure she'd amount to nothing. What a lucky woman. She was well paid while she learned to sing.

He was one of greats of Rhythm and blues, but he excelled in Soul
Otis and Percy Sledge all worked the same grove in very individual ways.

And millions payed to hear her..."learn to sing"

And you get to bitch about that for free! LOL

A bigger than life character, who hobnobbed with the best:

A citizen of the "floating world"
has passed from us.

the keyboard silent and our hearts are deaf
to consolation.

the laughter in his growly voice
now is joined to our tears.

He walked this world adorned
and adored by music

He left us
and left music with us
But no sweet song
can bring him back.

we morn.
