This has an Otis Redding feel to it
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:42pm
Funky16Corners:

The Solomon Burke?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:47pm
Franco Twinkie:

Timi Yuro kinda reminds me of Judy Henske if she was backed up by The Gold Diggers.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:49pm
Funky16Corners:

She had a powerful voice!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:54pm
Erica:

Not a bad rendition of Evil Ways
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:54pm
Funky16Corners:

This has some popularity with soul DJs
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:57pm
Jeff Ash:

Ha. When we were 18 or 19 and um, overserved, we'd sing this with the jukebox every night.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:58pm
Funky16Corners:

There are so many versions, by all kinds of singers. I was just reading that the Englebert Humperdink bersion kept the Beatles 'Hello Goodbye/Strawberry Fields Forever' 45 out of the number one spot
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:59pm

Now this, right here, is one of THE great soul ballad performances

You guys love to talk about food don't you?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:10pm

I'm not sure now. Maybe I was referring to Malochi, the sound of the vocal in the first part of the song
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:15pm
chresti:

@10:41
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:17pm

Malochi was in reality Esquerita, a wild, Little Richard-esque singer
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:18pm
Funky16Corners:

Google him some time. Wold looking dude, too
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:18pm
Funky16Corners:

@Erica - Music is the food of life, and food is also the food of life
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:21pm
Erica:

And food is the waste of life (sorry for the toilet humor).

When I first heard this song, I thought it was “who has the monkey”
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:23pm
Funky16Corners:

Which one, Lady Madonna?
  11:24pm
Cal Zone!:

The Gary P & Union Gap cover of Lady Madonna had a little 'Young Girl' vibe in it!
  11:25pm
chresti:

Yeah
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:25pm
Franco Twinkie:

While I was goofing off in the chat room, my pot of saucy fruit pie guts where turning into syrup on the stove. Good thing I had back up fruit. As punishment I made myself wash the dishes before I could come back.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:26pm
Funky16Corners:

@Cal - They have some cool b-sides, when you get away from the ongoing jailbait opera they had going
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:27pm
Funky16Corners:

@Franco - PIE GUTS!!!
  11:27pm

Who found the monkey when he paid the rent, something like that
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:27pm
Funky16Corners:

I get it now
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:27pm
Franco Twinkie:

Even though Mars wrote the song, John Kay is the lord and master.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:28pm
Erica:

"I never want to die". Mars is trying too hard to sound proper.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:28pm
Funky16Corners:

I always try to have a monkey pay my rent
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:28pm
Erica:

Mars Bonfire are trying to hard to sound proper lyrically I mean.
  11:29pm
Cal Zone!:

MOTOLLA IS THE LOVE CHILD! ;)
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:29pm
Funky16Corners:

He's the guy that wrote 'Born To Be Wild'. I'm sure he retired on his royalties.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:30pm
Funky16Corners:

Mars Bonfire, that is
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:30pm
Funky16Corners:

@Cal - This is right around the album he id with the Free Design as 'The Groovies'
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:30pm
Franco Twinkie:

Tony was a great session guy. Check out his song Guitar USA.
  11:33pm
Cal Zone!:

I LOVE GUITAR USA!!! I used to do a college radio show that featured American Indie Bands in 1983...we used Guitar USA as the theme song!
  11:34pm

Apt 21...such a great song...Sonny Curtis, right?

If you don't have the first JBW album, seek it out. A forgotten work of genius.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:40pm
Franco Twinkie:

This is real madcap little number.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:41pm
Funky16Corners:

It's from an album of Bee Gees covers by the guy who arranged their actual albums
  11:42pm
Cal Zone!:

I'm now looking fwd to the turn of the century! It sounds so swell!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:42pm
Funky16Corners:

At least very mellow and upbeat.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:44pm

Yk2 was a real zinger,man.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:45pm
Funky16Corners:

Some day I'll tell you guys my ridiculous y2K story. I spent a few years working in IT. It was a hoot.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:47pm
Franco Twinkie:

We were in an empty airport for the festivities.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:48pm
Franco Twinkie:

This I like!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:49pm

You'd dig this whole album
  11:50pm
Cal Zone!:

This Steve Douglas record is so groovy. Picked up last year when I heard you play it LG!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:51pm
Funky16Corners:

Yes, indeed, Lots of cool covers.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:51pm
Franco Twinkie:

Larry, Wear Your Love like Heaven makes me think of that tripped out version of Today by Tom Scott you played awhile ago.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:52pm
Funky16Corners:

I didn't play that, but I know the one you're talking about. It's the one California Dreamers album I don't have, and it's hard to come by since 'Today' was sampled on a hip hop record
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:53pm
Franco Twinkie:

Oh.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:56pm
Franco Twinkie:

Well, It's time to face the holiday season full on. Have a great one Larry.
