Why Don't You Do Right - mark murphy - riverside

12606 refosoul

great record!! there are many, many FEMALE versions of this...the strange thing about murphy's version is the words take on an entirely different meaning when sung from a male point of view! it's no longer the standard western idea of a woman demanding her man go out and earn the bread, but a man demanding his woman go out and earn the bread, which of course puts things in an entirely different perspective and suggests a different sort of arrangement, shall we say....

I love Mark Murphy and never managed to get a copy of this before the price went daft..saw him at The Pizza On The Park a while back and he was great. I'll post another one of his up in a minute.

Nice cheapie that would probably be more at home on the R&B circuit than it was on the Northern

One of those that makes me think..how come I never heard this until recently ?

:shades: Jackie Wilson's mentor wasn't he ? certainly shows.

Think he spoilt his persona a bit when he started wearing that old pilots hat & multi coloured suit on stage though :ohmy:
