Classic. I love Smooth Sailing (1987). They were without O'Kelly - as he had recently passed - but it's one of their best, imo.



And their 1971 album, Givin' It Back, is (in total agreement with the allmusic.com review for once) great album of that time period.

 

I hate the human love of that stinkin' mut!
Trying to make it real, compared to what?

 

Stevie Wonder— Happy Birthday (MLK)

 

Here's another guy I'd have a hard time categorizing as Soul or R&B,William Bell. To me,he's both.

 

I hate it when YouTubers put in the wrong year. In this case, it is supposed to be 1973.

Put It Where You Want It - Crusaders

 

Lee Moses - Bad Girl

 

that's right where i live. greatest s/t of all time

Life Is A Gamble
