PS - HAPPY BIRTHDAY (August 10) to Jon!
PPS - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY (August 2) to Duchess Deedles and her Balder Half!
Kicking it old school again this week.
Staple Singers! I love Mavis' voice.
ReplyDeleteHave a faboosh weekend AM!!!
hope you and carlos and the furkids are all safe!
DeleteThank you for Billy Eckstine. EnVogue (saw them last summer at the MN State Fair!), Leslie, Etta and Vanessa (I gots work to do!). And the Staple Singers remain one of my all-time favorite groups... just adore them. Wishing you the very best, hon.
ReplyDeleteyou sure like my music picks, dontcha?
Deletewent to the MN state fair once (on vacation); first time for fried cheese curds for me.
Etta James, any time! Happy belated to Jon, and Deedles and the Incomparable Balder Half.
ReplyDeleteyou got it, mitchell!
DeleteClassics, one and all!
ReplyDeletethey don't make music like this any more.
DeleteThey'd love these songs way over in Thigh-land - helped by supping on a generous draught of 'black water'.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out, Carebear. I love most of these artists and that is my favorite En Vogue song. I had no idea that Aretha did it first, and did it well I might add. Watching Dizzy Gillespie blow always made my cheeks hurt! Etta James, yes ma'am! Most of these remind me of my father's record collection. I have cd called Country, Rhythm and Blues. A lot of fine duets on it. Marty Stuart and the Staple Singers doing The Weight is a particular favorite of mine. Very nice choices today almighty Carebear!
ReplyDeleteI see you at the Mistress's. Happy Anniversary! A friend of Maddie's is a friend of mine too.
DeleteThanks, Pearly!
Delete@duchess - you're welcome.
Delete@pearly - we are all friends in blogland!

ReplyDeletehee hee hee!
DeleteHope you having a good weekend down south. I could never take Lionel Richie for some reason. But I love Etta James, and I believe the mistress does Giving Him Something He Can Feel , nightly at the Casa, and has it on a tee shirt too. I think I have her convinced to come back for another visit. I may have to sell the house alas.
ReplyDeletemistress is ALWAYS giving it to somebody. oh cripes, honey, is there anything I can do so you don't lose your home?
DeleteLove the Lionel Richie song...brings back some great memories from my early years!!
ReplyDeletewhen you are young and foolish, amirite?
DeleteoHHHHH Anita O'DAY!!!!!! The Gene KRUPA & Anita O'DAY Let Me Off Uptown is one of my all time favorite music moments. We need to take time back to then, when the gals and guys were all hip cats and the good times rolled. I have posted that clip many times myself.
ReplyDeletelove ya, maddie!
DeletePaul Robeson had such a great voice, take a listen to him singin' 'Summertime,' from Porgy and Bess.
