    Cheating is to soul music what heat is to fire. There are thousands of soul songs about adultery:

    Swamp Dogg - "Mama's Baby, Daddy's Maybe" (and too many more to mention; he owns this thread)

    Don Covay - "I Was Checkin' Out, She Was Checkin' In"

    Peggy Scott-Adams - "Bill"

    Facts Of Life - "Caught In The Act"

    Tyrone Davis - "There It Is"

    Roy C. - "I Found A Man In My Bed" (and too many more to mention; he co-owns this thread)

    Charles Wright - "One Lie Leads To Another"

    BTW, the Temptations' "I Wish It Would Rain" is NOT about cheating. The narrator's girlfriend didn't just play around on the sly, she broke it off altogether.

    What about all those "Jody" songs?
    And then there's James Rivers telling us how cheating can lead to alcohol- and spousal abuse in "bad bad whiskey" where he announces to his woman "I'm going to beat on you until I get tired???...

    It's a blues tune but one of my all time favorites is "Mule Kicking in My Stall" by Otis Spann. I know this song has been done by a lot of folks but this version is the first one I heard and remains my fave.
