peas.
(where R&B & country truly combine to create early Rock & Roll's finest moment)
The Clovers: Blue Velvet
(where the Clovers out-popped every vocal group that stole the soul)
The Kinks: Waterloo Sunset
(where Dave Davies created a song so flawless, it can be proven mathematically)
Billie Holiday: Let's Dream in the Moonlight (w/Teddy Wilson & Lester Young)
(where Billie paints a perfect image of weary innocence)
I could keep going but I'll stop...
john fitch and the associates - romantic attitude
clarence coulter - ride on
Betty Harris - There's A Break In The Road
ok let me add a perfect funk 45 category to my mind, and then YES, right on the money
fucking fantastic song.
William DeVaughn - Be Thankful For What You Got
Al Green - I'm Still In Love With You
Ennio Morricone "Vamos a Matar, Compa??eros!"
Krown Rulers "Kick The Ball"
Darondo "Didn't I"
"what's going on"-marvin gaye
i only have eyes for you-the flamingos
I'd rather mention the B side: "ALL I WANT IS YOU"...
Also Beach Boys related Brian Wilson - Surf's up
I think it's the summer weather hittin' me.
For me, Beth Orton--Stars All Seem To Weep
I will never never never get tired of hearing this song. Emotional singing, heavy lyrics, tight band, arrangement. God, those strings kill me every time. Classic. Perfect.
and Bernard Purdies 'whatcha see is whatcha get' always gets me hype, just the way the horns and the vocals go together, i cant stop myself from singing along with it in my own terrible way. Shit is just fantastic. BA DA BA DA ba dadaadadaaaaaaa oooooo! or suttin like that.
But here's a few:
Eunice Collins "at the hotel"
Leroy Hutson "think i'm falling in love"
Paris "days of old"
Pete Jolly "seasons"
Golden Boys "berimbau" (Anybody knows which lp this was from?)
Tim Hardin "hang on to a dream"
Soul Bros Inc "pyramid"
/L
Some random joints off the top of my head:
Archie Whitewater-Cross Country
Lou Bond-To The Establishment
Al Green-Love And Happiness
John Coltrane-My Favorite Things
At the moment it's Bobby Humphrey's "Harlem River Drive". Maybe not perfect... is there such a thing?
Slowing down to 45,
