those "sad" records you play late at night


Recommended Posts

After struggling for many years with drug addiction and being shunned by many people in the industry following his marriage to Sam Cooke’s widow, the King was back. His comeback albums Poet 1 and Poet 2, in the early 80’ are surely two of his finest. So, from the first album, the stunning, Just My Imagination. Bobby at his best. More to come from this album over the coming days - sticking to the sort of one pick a day!

Another sad song favorite of mine since was published in 1976: "This Is Your Life" by Jerry Butler (specially the intro). Despite the fact I'm a Philly Soul fan I prefer the two Jerry Butler's albums on Motown "Love's On The Menu" and "Suite For The Single Girl" than the two Gamble & Huff eras on the singer career (late 60's on Mercury / late 70's on PIR). This one is the last side B track of "Love's On The Menu", writed by Lionel Ritchie.

How good is this vid - absolute magic. Loads of different artists have done this. My favourite Nina Simone is just top trumped by this video masterpiece. Sammy Davis Junior - Mr Bojangles. Beautiful.

Its a beatuful video and Sammy is perfect for it. I suspct that in his interpretation of the song he’s Mr Bojangles and he’s singing about himself.

Another superb song culled from Bobby's Poet 1 album. Stunning vocals from the man himself, matched key for key by the female harmonies/backing. You just cannot beat Bobby, well, occasionally perhaps.

If you think you're lonely now.

 

tuneeeeeeeeeee
