I assume there are other people here who remember hearing "Grazing" -- and "Mas Que Nada", for that matter -- on top 40 radio in the 60s. Looking back on that now, it blows me away. A kid from the burbs could turn on AM radio and hear soul, funk, boogaloo -- whatever was selling. We were so dumb! We had no idea that we had to be carefully divided into demographic sub-markets and stay within the lines. We actually thought we could listen to whatever sounded good enough to sell. The nerve of us!

Early Tull! Cool!
Hi all, here for a bit...
  10:29pm
Dean:

Yes, Parq, I know that experience. I think I gained perspective from the fact that many of my friends had older siblings whose record collections informed what I heard. Even if those albums included AM and FM playlist songs, I was exposed to the albums as works in themselves. That taught me that there was more out there than what commercial radio had to offer.

@coelacanth I have yet to disagree with you about everything :) For the record yes I thought you were talking about Winehouse. Agreed about her voice and her loss. Burned bright, fast and furiously. And what a songwriter!

After only hearing about Amy's troubles in media bits and pieces before I'd heard any of the music, I was pleasantly taken with a loaned Back in Black. Had to get it. Read something a few years ago that compared her to Adele, was it?...and saying Amy's R&B and soul was mostly retro-gurgitation and appropriation and therefore had to be relegated to some second status. While Amy was an obvious borrower and close deriver, sweet jesus, I thought of the writer, give it a rest and get over yer self-strokin' self! And enjoy!

Of all the retro-soul being made, hers was backed up with great songs and of course the mighty Daptones

I think of Winehouse more as a palimpsest. Her live performances get me every time. Big bad broken heart.

Always struck me as odd to call it blue eyed soul when she's a Jewish sister...

More Miles-love these complete sessions of the Miles electric beginnings, the whole sessions sound so different than the edited album issues.

yeah Sharon Jones another modern Great; but a whole different animal in regard to the lives they led/were dealt; the ways they seemed to process it.
...but...who the fuck would compare Amy to Adele?! somebody's not listening.

@coelacanth I recently came across Sharon Jones, a live performance with a Prince cameo. I was blown away! She's also a legend. I could *not* comprehend her ability to shake *all* the tailfeathers and singing powerfully the whole time. Magical!

She and Charles Bradley were the two finest modern soul singers in the classic style, and they're both gone

Thanks Funky, looking him up now. Wow, from the Guardian obit: "He did not record his first single until 2002, and made his debut album only in 2011."

Well there are a few epic singers around in case you get away from your world of shit before they're gone ;) Diamanda Galas comes to mind.

yeah Charles is another. someone in the pub played his version of that Ozzy song about a month ago and said i'm buying a shot for anyone who knows who this is. i, unfortunately was the only one.

Hans-Joachim Roedelius performed and lectured at the college in my town a few months ago, for very little fee; but i couldn't not work. he's 83. i don't think i'll ever see him.

@coel anyway, they're young and probably vegan, they should be around for some years yet, so you can always catch them later.

@coel: you should definitely charge it. $15 for that much morale is a small price to pay. If I'm ever in NY I'll treat you to an expensive sandwich to make up the cost :P
