Listening to the insistent bass line through a compact Bose rig and at the best available download quality. PUMPIN'  |

The Staple Singers do an awesome cover of Slippery People by Talking Heads. Can't find a digital version, but if anyone does, it's worth an upload.

Seems like there is a bit of Soul revival going on lately. I hope it keeps going. We miss Mr. Jamerson....

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bill! Think the Staple singers will help us get that Death Cab dweeb vocalist into the dark faster? Hope springs eternal.

I'm sure there is a theme, but this set has been an emotional roller coaster ride. Wheeeee? |

I thought, great, it's the Liquidator by Harry J's All stars from 1969, happy memories, then some women started shrieking over it and turned it into sucko barfo.  |

Exactly I fully agree with youmisterbearbaby ... this is REAL SOUL.. not the modernistic crap that has stolen the soul label. |

Just what I needed this morning - a honking brass section and a thumping backbeat to get me going.

Listen to Pops (Roebuck) Staples play guitar on this - he was actually one of the outstanding blues guitarists of the mid-20th century — loved the Lord, though, so he would never say he was a blues-man.
His version of Dylan's "Masters of War" is a powerful and articulate anti-war song, and worth a listen — an anti-war Christian - that's what I'm talkin about.

Look at that album cover. They must have borrowed costumes from the set of Good Times....
The 70s were like that. Compared to some of the fashions going 'round in those days, those threads are paragons of subtlety and restraint. |

They used to play this in the Pink Teacup in NYC (1972) this was a soul food shop in Greenwich village (open 24 hrs). Everybody wore pink to match the "decor" and the dishes. When this came on the juke EVERYBODY rocked. More pie please!
