The tracks from this album feature a pre-EWF Maurice White on drums

She was getting skinner and wouldn't eat or drink much anymore. I thought it was just a toothache or constipation but then she struggled to breathe. And then yesterday morning she was gone.

Brian in UK:

Hello Larry.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:38pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Brian!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:38pm
Phillippe:

That's hard. We've lost so many pets over the years, and it's never easy.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:40pm
Brian in UK:

Erica, I feel your pain. we lost an old boy cat on 1st June, then a ten year old beagle with less than 24 hours notice three weeks ago. Still adjusting. X
Avatar 3:40pm
Erica:

I know. My mom took it harder than me. She couldn't stop crying.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:52pm
WR:

I've been looking up Roy Meriwether and was about to comment how surprised I am to not remember having heard of him and then you play two more new to me artists in this vein from late 60s.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:53pm
Funky16Corners:

Meriwether had a bunch of albums but never really broke through to a bigger audience. That version of 'Get the Buzz' was from a private press album.
Avatar 3:54pm
Erica:

Rubber Soul Jazz...now I can see where the term soul jazz came from.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:54pm
Funky16Corners:

It was around way before this album.
Avatar 3:57pm
Erica:

Duly noted Larry.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:58pm
Funky16Corners:

This was just a pun on the Beatles Rubber Soul, since the album is all covers of that album's songs.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:15pm
Brian in UK:

Did Ray Bryant sell at the time?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:17pm
Funky16Corners:

He had one early chart hit with 'Madison Time' but nothing after that, but somebody was buying his records because I see them around a lot.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:18pm
WR:

Looking at the The Music Company recording and with Randi doing all the arrangements and probably the piano too, so you played two Don Randi Beatles tracks in a row.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:19pm
Funky16Corners:

I mentioned that. Basically the same groups
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:20pm
WR:

Ray Bryant sold ok. No hits that I remember like McCann and Ramsey Lewis had, but ok enough to keep recording.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:22pm
WR:

That Junior Mance track was fun.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:23pm
Funky16Corners:

Yes indeed! I have the 45, but keep looking for the album.

Late to the party, but here I is! Howdy LG and Groganites!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:26pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Cal!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:29pm
WR:

Curious, I have the Mance albums before and after that one, and with Billy Cobham, Gale and Rainey as rhythm i would have got it if i had seen it. Wonder what happened with that one.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:30pm
Funky16Corners:

I don't think I've ever seen it in the wild. Maybe it's scarce?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:32pm
WR:

The 45 seemed short, the album version says over 4 minutes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:32pm
Funky16Corners:

45 was only 2:27
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:32pm
WR:

Dee Felice, another new to me artist. Nice
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:33pm
Funky16Corners:

Produced by James Brown!

The Grogmeister!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:39pm

Hey Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:39pm
Funky16Corners:

Don't forget,when I'm done, stay tuned for Mike L filling in for Kip and Discothech Underground: wfmu.org...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:41pm
Doug Schulkind:

And as FMU old-timers know, that means the beloved Mike Lupica will be manning the wheels of steel!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:47pm
Funky16Corners:

Doug, are there any memorials to Garner in Pittsburgh?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:51pm
Doug Schulkind:

Good question, F16C. I'm seem to recall seeing a "once lived here" plaque outside a house. But that might have been for Billy Eckstine.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:51pm
Funky16Corners:

Strayhorn, too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:54pm
Doug Schulkind:

There a theater named for Sweet Pea Strayhorn (and Gene Kelly) about 10 minutes from my house.
