The Great Soul Hits of....
Listening to a record I picked up a few weeks ago called The Great Soul Hits of...The album doesn't actually have (...) at the end of it but I don't feel like writing in the names Jackie Wilson, Gene Chandler, Barbara Acklin, Young Holt Unlimited, Big Maybelle, and the Artistics...DOH!!! Anyhoo, this is a great album. Kind of sounds like something you would hear in a diner or a gymnasium dance back in the 50's or 60's. Oh how popular music has changed. I would love to go to high school back when this music was what you heard on the radio and/or at a school dance. I mean I didn't regret going to Immaculate Heart Central High School homecoming and hearing Brandy, N'Sync, Quad City DJ's etc, etc because when I think back on that music I actually get nostalgic about it, even though I hated it at the time. But the music on this record is such good music. I almost feel like in another life I was a teenager in the 50's because of how nostalgic this music makes me. I wonder what I would have been like. I definitely wouldn't have been a greaser and I know I wouldn't have been a soce. I think I would have enjoyed hanging with both groups. Been sort of like a groce or a seaser. Oh well, guess we'll never know. In the meantime Big Maybelle is killin' it right now with a hot tune called Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen. No I sure haven't Big May but just listening to your voice I'm sure it consisited of poverty, abuse and maybe a little junk.
