I'm hoping for early 70s--1973 and even moreso, 1972 are long due.  And Earth Day tomorrow?

Oh good: some soul to start.  Even if Mavis weirds me out with the "daddy ... oh daddy" interlude at the solo.

Now if we can get "The Sly, the Slick, and the Wicked" in this set, I'll officially be a Happy Gaz.

i'm so glad i'm not the only one who is terribly disturbed by that. she's either singing to pops (evidently, because of the solo) or god (less evident, but they are the staple singers). either way, it's too strange. i always picture her doing the etta james while she's singing it.

"doing the etta james"?  Is that a euphemism for shooting up?   :o

P.S.  Why aren't they the Staples Singers?

Boz Scaggs' Runnin' Blue--Boz with big band, from the long out-of-print Boz Scaggs and Band. Most likely a bust-out, and probably from vinyl.

ha! no. it's what i call the naaassstay (wheel)chair dance etta james does since she can't bounce around the stage anymore. she runs her hand from her bosom down to her netherworld. normally it would be replusive, but she's etta james. so the whole audience goes wild.

maybe they're french? silent 's.' liaison? i dunno...that always bothered me, too. such a troublesome group.

It would certainly lend a new tilt to "I'll Take You There."
