  • Betty Harris - Mean Man


  • Hodges, James, Smith & Crawford - Nobody

    Also file under: "songs so much better than their originals you forgot there was an original."

    gotta disagree, I believe the first recorded version of this song was Larry Williams and Johnny Watson with Kaliediscope in '67 on Okeh...and I like this a lot more than the HJSC

    let me add

    Mary Lou "John, Youre Wrong" Cotillion


    On a related note, I picked up a hammered copy of Irma Thomas "Hittin on Nothin" this weekend that I am currently applying TLC to get it play-outable...killer tune

  • I never posted those pics here as far as I remember. I pulled them out of a photo album that I found at the flea. I may have left some pics behind but what are the odds that someone else would find them, buy them, scan them and then post them somewhere? I'm off today and the pics are at the shop but I can post them tomorrow.


    I did that mix in July of 2006, so I had the pic at least as far back as that. I know I have/had one other pic from (I assume) that set with some folks sitting at a table. This is strange.

    Someone (I can't remember for the life of me who) posted a scan of this pic on soulstrut about 2-3 years ago. I had copied it to my computer and was going to use it for a mixtape cover.

    think so, but I heard the LP version a long time ago so cant really remember...but the 45 is cool because it is catalog number is 666!

    Ah - I thought it was a Three Dog Night song. I stand corrected.

    You got a clip of that Williams/Watson version?

  • There's a version of Nobody by Kim Weston on MGM that's pretty cool as well. Not funk by any means but since we're talking about that song...

    not funk, but some far out soul

  • man, Larry Williams and Johnny Watson really were a great duo...I have a few of those Okeh sides and they all rule.
