This morning's offering: Powerful gospel tinged song that when I've interviewed some soul artists has been quoted by more than one with ..."Wish I'd written that!". This version isn't from some far flung corner of Mississippi but from a group of ladies in London, UK! I've included a link to the Black Voices website if anyone wants to investigate further.

"My Light Will Shine So Bright It Will Blind You"

Hi Gogger

I like that Edwin track - never heard it before! Here's one from another of the soul scene's major artists recorded after their classic period but still showing that they still had alot to give. Well I think it's a good track

got to agree they just needed the right song, not heard the major lance one neithergreat track.

The Salty Peppers - La la la Pt 1 - TEC Records.

From little acorns mighty Oaks grow

https://youtu.be/IONhdx30ShU

Earth, Wind & Fire leader Maurice White was a founding member of the Salty Peppers. While a session drummer for Chess Records and a member of the Ramsey Lewis Trio, White started a group with bassist/keyboardist Don Whitehead and vocalist Wade Flemons. The Salty Peppers had a Midwest hit with "La La La" -- issued on White's own Hummit Records -- and the track was leased to Capitol, which led to a record contract for the group. (The single was "Un Huh Yeah" b/w "Your Love Is Life.") After visiting California several times, White decided to make the move west and quit Lewis' trio. With demo tapes that featured the skills of Chicago multi-talent Donny Hathaway, White began shopping demo tapes (some featuring the skills of Donny Hathaway) around, then signed to Warner Bros., while the Salty Peppers eventually evolved into Earth, Wind & Fire.

Sadly for me an obvious Supremes take off.

Trade Martin* production is interesting.

Not heard it before though!

There's only the ones you like and the ones you don't.

Mick

*I take it that folk are familiar with Trade Martin's highly political "ground zero" protest effort?

Wouldn't want to get into that one really.

I'M A SUCKER FOR THAT GIRLY SOUND
