It's funny how certain records make you remember small things. This one brings back a memory of riding in my Grandpa's car in the Summer 1968 when I went to visit him. Clarence Carter and "Slip Away"

The Power, Passion and Emotion [[soul) seems to be missing today

I have I guess you have it too , the Save the Children album, I also have a VHS video tape [[nothing to play it on), and this track was the epitome of SMOOTH

More from down south. I love Stax and Muscle Shoals music. The guitars, horns, and bass worked seamlessly with each other and the construction of the songs was on point.

And in my opinion, there will never be a more soulful singer than Otis Redding.

This. Right here. Oh, Lord.

What would Otis have made had he lived for another 30 years? Would we regard him the way we regard Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle, and Gladys Knight, holdovers from a better day for music? He put everything into his songs.

Marvin Gaye's "I Want You" album is one of the five best soul albums ever and I'm not going to think about the other four. He changed the game on smoothness. I love this record.
