sometimes she drives me crazy, but i love this record.
Odetta is cool, for a folk artist. But...a SOUL singer???
When I was in high school, the administration brought Odetta in to perform at a special assembly. Shit was not pretty-- she more or less got chased off stage. It wasn't the booing so much as when people started throwing things. I think she got hit with a tennis ball.
As far as LPs go, I'm kinda partial to these in addition to the above:
Honey & the Bees: Love Shirley Brown: Woman to Woman The Vicki Anderson, Lyn Collins and Marva Whitney boots from the early 90s Millie Jackson: Caught Up Donna Summer: On the Radio Gwen McCrae: Rockin' Chair
Well, almost all of it is available on Josie 45s, which tend to be pretty cheap and available. Problem is, the best cut, "Do You Understand," is LP-only.
In all fairness....I don't think this Merry Clayton is all that exciting:) As I remember it; it has one or two decent tracks. "Suthern Man" and maybe one other. Far from one of the best female soul LP's I've ever heard.
Cosign Ruby Andrews, anyone know if her moder LP is any good? "Everybody Saw You" has been on constant rotation. GIVE ME COVER
are you talking about the one from '77 on ABC?
its nowhere near as good as her zodiac releases but worhtwhile to have. There is an amazing cover of that Sam Cooke "A Change is Gonna come" joint that is ruined in the last 30 seconds with some out of the blue disco flair.

Well, in all fairness...I like it. My top ten has probably already been mentioned. I would put it in my top 20 though.

Yep, that's the one. Sounds like something I don't need.

K.
my favorite!!!
Just got this one last weekend, but it is a killer:
And I've had this one for a while, some really nice tracks on here:
yes...
The track "I'm Blue" on here has the same music as Gran Am's "Get High."
But this is "Soul Jazz". You would need another thread to appreciate this.
For real though, it's amazing and if you don't have this you're simply not just a great collectro.
That is a nice LP
so is this
and this is Gladys' finest LP , IMO
and one for the new school, I still listen to this regularly
How many other versions are there of this "I love you for all seasons" track?
ALSO: "I'm a Lady" is fuckin' awesome on that Heaven Sent and Ecstasy jawn.
these two as well.
