*** The band had little money and had spent what they had to rent a recording studio, well the night they were to record Rosie had a bad cold, but this was a deal where.....no money back. So they had to go on with it, well they nailed it but after her recovery Rosie could never duplicate this sound again. A true classic!

Most of that people don't even listen to. Unless you're an inmate's dedicating that to Little Joker... or Little Casper on the Art Laboe Show.

Sleep on this on, lil homie.
David Ruffin, yes!
Here ya go....
Getting back to the oldies.
Talent Scout Johnny Oatis who played a major role in early R&B/soul/rock, stopped in a late night diner to grab a bite to eat, as he walked from his car to the diner he heard some cats singing out in the parking lot, he was impressed. So he left his card and............

I'm on up on all of that.
Cool, but if you're going to bring Etta James into this then it's gotta be.....
That's nice.
Charles Bradley, bruh.

Cat simply has...."it"

Gotta get back in the alley, way down in the grease stains.

Tommy Tucker
Andre Williams (love it!)
Buddy Holly, in my opinion his best, The Stones covered it.
Billy Stewart
Roots of Rockabilly, the Great Johnny Burnette
Billy "The Kid" Emerson
Billy Ward and the Dominos with the great Jackie Wilson
Elvis really started something, white cats with gee-tars came out in abundance looking to be the next big thing. While obscure to Joe Public, this guy was one of the better....wannabes. Tracy Pendarvis.
Before Elvis there were The Crows, they are one of the very first and most important of all the early vocal groups. This being their signature tune.
Now if ya take that list I gave you and the videos, you should be pretty well covered. If not we'll just keep adding them until you are
So I buy this compilation CD, it was those famous field recording done by the Lomax;s back in the 30;s and 40's. While all of it was good this one (which I knew nothing about) simply stunned me. It was recorded right there in some church in Clarksdale Miss in 1942. In a word......amazing!
Ok last but far from least those baby blues king of soul the one and only Wayne Cochran, if not for James Brown....the hardest working man in show biz.
