Still tragically overlooked. Thanks for posting this...

Yes, it sure did. Don't misunderstand me, I wasn't posting my comments as a insult. I
just never have been of the belief that artist that achieve greatness just come out of the
box superstars. Ever...

Now that would be nice. That was the last Black Forum release. These would have seen
a welcome release YEARSSSSSSSSSS ago, IMO...But then I'm a cat that thinks they should
have worked harder on...

I love Gladys's interpretations of Jim's work, they are probably the best and she did
get Grammy's out of them but the history behind Midnight Train always fascinated me
almost as much as her cover...

The Jackson 5 in the studio sounding like they don't quite know what they're doing, not
really holding their harmonies together and Michael though in fine voice, still a little sloppy
with his...

Every single dayum Barnes & Noble in the city.....But now with 2 feet of snow
on the ground I don't think I'll be trekking around to try to get a copy just yet...RIP, Cicely...

I vaguely remember reading on somebody's blog about Barrett Strong working between stint's at Motown but it was too long ago and no mention was made of The Orlons. That
would have certainly made me...

suckers!!!!!!!!....

I've always been a big fan of Questlove but I'm absolutely certain that due to his youth
(he's just 50, right?) there is probably a ton of footage he cut out that would appeal to quite a few folks a...

I've been trying to get that first bio of Jr for years. I had my suspicions about Kenneth's book and I don't even want to bother with it. I would love to know more about his life
and music, his love...

Another phenomenal woman, as Maya Angelou would say, gone. Still, she lived a full
productive and iconic life. I remember her in so many settings, tv,film, on screen
with Richard Pryor and as the...

Lawd have mercy!
Heard that song hundreds of times but never saw it performed live...Dang, I wish I had
been there. Patti is Patti, yes we know but Nona and Sarah had some pipes of their own....

The cartoons and photoshopped images and captions are fun but the reality is Biden
and Harris have their most difficult work ahead of them and much of the damage done to
our country may be...

I love Jazz and don't care if it's not the taste of 90% of SDF membership. In the genre

Dang, I didn't pay attention to the thread title beyond Smoke's name.LOL!...

This is a really pleasing performance of Smokey singing live, it appears on Soul Train
which I somehow managed to miss back in the day. I wonder what year it was...I know
Smokey prided himself on...

Anxious to see the film but wasn't crazy about this performance or arrangement. I have
to blame whoever put this together for Andra. I'm sure they had her purposely resrict
her range to mimic...

Ain't that the truth....Even though I'd never claim she ever had the instrument of either
I've always felt Mavis Staples matches Aretha in terms of the degree of soulfulness in her
phrasing and...

Mollyfock got impeached again!...itch Mc is trying to cushion his ass but the orange one is
going down...

Second that...She really was the Queen. Had a few contender wannabees but really
no peer...She had as a kid, still only 15, 16 years old, the chops to wipe the damn floor
with any and every...

Another one, LOL...Smokey's Love Machine match up...

This wiki is pretty accurate...
