A much needed Black Music thread.

These guys may have been a rock band but this has soul written all over it. One of my favorite oldies

Thanks to DJ Premier for putting me on to this beauty of a record

This song gained particular notoriety when rapper Nelly sampled it in his #1 hit song 'Hot In Here' back in 2002.

Brownie McGhee (1915-1996), a great guitarist who deserves to be better known.

I saw Sonny Terry & Brownie Brownie McGhee in the mid-60's at the Fourth Dimension coffee house in Winnipeg, near the U of M. Strictly acoustic folk-bues show, but very good.

The rumour is they had a volatile relationship most of the years they partnered together...

on this board i once described this song as 2 minutes of perfection and the 2 posts by trm got me to thinking about this song....featuring the lead by La La Brooks....and imo it still is 2 minutes of perfection

guitarist Steve Cropper weaves his magic

for the Blues lovers.....................one of my favourite artists..Lowell Fulsom

David Ruffin on the lead vocals. Definitely stands out as one his edgier performances. Great tune.

I had a '60 rosewood board Tele and a blackface Fender Super Reverb amp too. How come I never sounded that good?
