Bruv Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Excellent spin from the Great Joe Tex - You Better Believe It Baby 2
Mick Sway Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 Having temporarily got my record room back, I put myself a play list of old favourites, together yesterday. This one is from the "At Last" Blue Note album that I bought as an import in 1989, for £8.99 , during my rather foolish indi-soul phase. Nevertheless a great track in my book , from an album that you can probably pick up for less that a fiver these days, well that's inflation for ya. Lou Rawls You can't go home Blue Note - featuring George Benson 2

Rick Scott Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Here is a strange one i have had since the very late 60's, My Darling - Instrumental, often wondered if there was a vocal to this? This is the only video i could find so apologies for the poor sound quality on it, one of those that sounds great out on a good sound system, I love records with vibes on Them, Nice. This is on the "B" side of "Please let me help you" by Diane Lewis on Love Records and is The Funk Brothers although they are uncredited. Cheap as chips too. Edited August 30, 2017 by RICK SCOTT 1
