Kool & The Gang - Caribbean Festival (De-Lite 1573)

Posted Sunday December 31, 2006, 1:22 pm, Over one day old

Here is the year end post I was planning before The Godfather left the building... Just as we've been doing with our 'greatest generation' World War II veterans, we can only bow our heads in remembrance and appreciation as the people behind this wonderful music pass on before our eyes.

James Brown - Make It Funky (Part 2) (Polydor 2-14088)

Posted Friday December 29, 2006, 1:22 pm, Over one day old

As circles of people gathered around chanting Make It Funky, everybody from little kids to old men got the feelin' and were just dancing in the streets, doing their best James Brown. I'll tell ya, Bush ain't no president, James Brown's my president, man... and you know what?

James Brown And The Famous Flames - Cold Sweat - Part 2 (King 6110)

Posted Wednesday December 27, 2006, 1:22 pm, Over one day old

The song that hit the top ten that summer, It's A Man's Man's Man's World, (which would go on to become one of my all-time favorite deep soul masterpieces later on) was a radical departure from the style I had come to associate with James, and failed to capture my 12 year old imagination, I guess.

Percy Sledge - True Love Travels On A Gravel Road (Atlantic 2679)

Posted Friday December 15, 2006, 1:22 pm, Over one day old

Quin opened a record store in Sheffield called Tune Town, and watched as Rick's new Fame studio grew. Fame soon had more business than it could handle, and Ivy approached Hall with an idea; what if he were to open his own small studio to record the people Hall was turning away?

Betty Harris - I'm Gonna Git Ya (Sansu 471)

Posted Friday December 8, 2006, 1:21 pm, Over one day old

They would go on to back-up so many great artists for the label, as well as recording some of the coolest records ever as The Meters (it was Sehorn's NYC connections that got them signed with Josie, and consequently Cissy Strut actually broke first in New York!).

Candi Staton - How Can I Put Out The Flame (When You Keep The Fire Burning) (Fame 1472)

Posted Thursday November 30, 2006, 1:22 pm, Over one day old

When big stars like Bob Seger and The Osmonds began coming down there to record, and turned George Jackson compositions like Old Time Rock And Roll and One Bad Apple into mega-blockbuster hits, Rick couldn't help but see where the money was in 'the business'.

Posted Wednesday November 22, 2006, 1:20 pm, Over one day old

He has actually cut more songs at the studio than any other single performer over the years, and Rick Hall has said that Clarence is "at the top of my list... he's not only one of the finest artists, but one of the finest people I've ever met".
