It's the future, Myth.......
nothing like a 7+ to make you reflect and repent,
I've now learned.

The Down & Dirty on Don Robey
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Robey
He's dead, now, anyway.
I resemble that comment....
On one vindictive occasion, I did it as well.
May God forgive me, but at the time it seemed like
the right thing to do.
The music business
is rife with stories about producers and label owners who
claimed writing credit for songs they never had any part in creating.
The most blatant example of this kind of exploitation is "What I Say," in which
Nesuhi Ertegun, who, along with his brother, owned Atlantic records. He claimed a
writers credit, probably as a result of some small advance or worse, a contribution to
Ray Charle's massive heroin addiction.. He did so under the pseudonym
"Nugetre," which was his surname spelled backwards.
Farther On Up The Road is another rip off typical of the era. Johnny Copeland co-wrote it with
Joe Medwick. However after Bobby Bland recorded it for Duke Records in 1957, Don Robey who
owned the label, credited himself as a writer and deleted any mention of Copeland. One more reason
why why they call it "the blues."
Bob Marley & The Wailers - I Shot The Sheriff
It was bit of a shock/surprise
when the Apple commercial started running.
Yeah, Apple sampled that song w/o permission,
and when the lawsuit settled, they each got a good payday. (for a change)
The Persuasions - Good Times
The Dixie Hummingbirds - Christian's Automobile
A Great Album; yes!
I like the mature G.J. both chronologically & vocally.
Improved recording technique and big budgets for projects like this one
have, in fact, made this duet very enjoyable for me.
Maybe it's just me, but the "accelerants" propelling guys like George,
back then tended to roll off the bottom end of his sonorous voice.
cap. if you happen to pass by,
check out this 5 grand German guitar
and the guy who's playing it!
I went back and listened
to the original from 1978. It's a very classic, classic country song.
Those guys in TN that write 'em are an unusual and special breed of musician.
Most of them are totally anonymous and rich, like the guy who wrote this one. (Jerry Chesnut)
Mtume - Juice Fruit
Well, for sure they didn't, IMO,
but the ones I worked with in places w/o a stage were considerably
"lesser lights."
Another one I musta
played 500 times. The singer(s) never equaled Big O, however.
Al Green - Strong As Death (Sweet As Love)
Ernest Ranglin - Surfin'
Otis Redding - Hard To Handle
Peter Tosh - I Am That I Am
Wilson Pickett - Don't Knock My Love
Why??
Randy Newman - God's Song
He's a song writing, swamp pop legend, star!
Henry Thomas - Going Up The Country (1928)
Tommy McLain - Sweet Dreams
Tommy McLain - I Ran Down Every Dream
She's a great "blast from the past!"
Reggae just the way I like it.
Bob Marley - Redemption Song
Elmore James - Dust My Broom/Let's cut it mix
Ann Peebles - I Can't Stand The Rain
Eddie Kendricks - You Need A Change of Mind
Miles Davis - Blue In Green
That genius thing, myth,
comes through 'em, not from 'em.
& a good evening to you, cap.....
James Booker - Gonzo
If I said it once,
I've said it a thousand times..........
Ike has simply been misunderstood!
Sonny Rollins - You Don't Know What Love Is
Link Wray - Rumble
U right
