7 June 2007: 1973!

[RGMike]

Missed the phone call, but nice pick by the foghead for the bonus track--ToP's What Is Hip. One of the best horn charts ever in pop music.

Indeed... his other choices were Springsteen and the GD (Goddamn Dead), "Eyes of the World", which I totally cringed expecting him to pick. :wink:

Indceed, nice start to the set. It for some reason just dawned on me how similar the band on the Ann Peebles track is to the Al Green songs of the same era. Safe to say they are one and the same?

I dunno if she was a Memphis/Muscle Shoals artist off the top o' me head. But it's quite possible.

Just remembered to look this up. And indeed, she was anther Hi Records stalwart.

A diminutive singer with a powerful voice and an even stronger attitude, Ann Peebles was one of the artists who defined Willie Mitchell's legendary Memphis soul label Hi Records, along with Al Green and, later, O.V. Wright.
