@[imasoulman] Another 5 dark black pearls!
Sam Dees - The Show Must Go On
THE COUNTS - What's Up Front That-Counts (1971)
Cane & Able - Starchild
Flirtations - "Nothing But A Heartache" (re-upload)
DAVID RUFFIN -"MY WHOLE WORLD ENDED (THE MOMENT YOU LEFT ME)" [1969]
And yes, because when I start with this stuff, the only way to stop me is to shoot me!
Ah, Ima, I know that the last one on the list - the good David Ruffin - is super famous (the leader of the Temptations....), but his first solo album is of such stunning beauty (and maybe someone who doesn't know about it will pass by here.....)!
In short, it couldn't be left out.
 
(5+5) dark black pearls (10). For Imasoulman. The Grodeck Whipperjenny - Sitting Here on a Tongue
What to close with?
Well, with an album from a white musician who, to be precise, isn’t even exactly an album of black music!
So, Ima, do you know who’s behind the very strange moniker "Grodeck Whipperjenny"?
For those who don’t know, the name behind all this is: David Matthews!
Does anyone still have doubts?
Alright, then I’ll say: James Brown, his "psychedelic" phase, ("Sho Is Funky Down Here"…)
Is that enough for you?
No?
Then listen to this stuff: The Funkadelic playing jazz-rock!
 
(5+5) dark black pearls (9). For Imasoulman. money won't save you
Another MASTERPIECE!
From Chicago, the Boscoe!
How come musicians with balls like these haven't made it big!
All the blackest black there is: Jazz, Funky, Soul, R&B, Free.....
Meticulously crafted arrangements, pure class, balls of steel and black dicks....
 
(5+5) dark black pearls (7). For Imasoulman. The Watts 103rd St Rhythm Band, -- Till You Get Enough
It's hot!
Is it November? This music would warm you up even at the North Pole....
So, these are top-notch musicians!
Let me say two things: one, among other things, they were the band that accompanied Bill Cosby in his shows.....
And two, right after the breakup, almost the entire group played on Bill Withers' first album (you know that album, Ima? :-)))))
Oh, and in one of the line-ups, there was also a certain Bobby Womack...
 
(5+5) dark black pearls (7). For Imasoulman. THE MAR KEYS THE GREAT MEMPHIS SOUND Cleo's Back
So, these Imas definitely know this! Suffice it to say that that sleazy organ is played by a certain Gregory Isaacs (and the others are no less famous). But maybe there’s someone passing through who doesn’t know this record...
And that would be a real shame! Truly!
 
(5+5) dark black pearls (6). For Imasoulman. Rotary Connection - Respect - 1969 [Psych-Soul]
So: a group with white & black members, men & women, mixing funky, soul, and psychedelia....
What? No, it's not Sly's family!
What do you say? Copied...
The record is from '69....
Ah, one of the voices is Minnie Ripperton, they found her working at the record label's reception! Can you believe it?
Ima knows who she is....
 
That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be - Lou Bond
But I must be losing it......
Here's a piece. But the others are even more beautiful!
 
(5+5) dark black pearls (4). For Imasoulman. Som, sangue e raça - Dom Salvador e Abolição
Tim Maia (I know you know him!) opened a world for me: the blend of funky soul and bossa!
There’s some amazing stuff! Like these.
 
Joe Jackson - The Harder They Come - 2/15/1980 - Capitol Theatre (Official)

It was born as the soundtrack for the film of the same name #iladri, and this time we have not a few, with one of the first being none other than the guitarist and founding member of the legendary over-seventies Rolling Stones, Mr. Keith Richards. Following him, some of the most well-known include Cherilyn Sarkisian LaPierre, better known as the evergreen Cher, Jerry Garcia, Willie Nelson, an icon of reggae, namely Desmond Dekker, and the late John Graham Mellor of the "Clash," known to all as Joe Strummer, and nothing...

Jimmy Cliff - The Harder They Come
 
Renato Zero - La Favola Mia - Live 2004
Every day I tell my fairy tale
I tell it every day, whoever you are?
And I dress in dreams to give you if you want,
The illusion of a child playing at being heroes!
These crazy lights turn on and you
Change face every evening, but are you always you?
You are that man who comes looking for oblivion,
The poetry that I sell you, of which I am the god!
Behind this mask, there’s a man and you know it!
The man of a road that is the same that you take.
And I put on makeup so that my life,
Doesn’t recognize me and goes away?
My heart beats and every day is an experience more?
My life is in the same direction, you?
And I dress as a king so that you are,
You are the king of a magical night!!!
With a gesture I transform bare reality,
A few paper stars your sky, here it is!
And does my music invent yourself?
And do you forget the world with its madness!
Everything that’s outside stays where it is,
You smile, you sing, you cry with me?
Maybe you return to being a child and a tear goes
Over this costume that fits me like a skin!
Behind this mask, there is a man and you know it!
With his joys, his sorrows, and his problems?
And I put on makeup so that my life,
Doesn’t recognize me and goes away?
My heart beats and every day is an experience more?
My life is in the same direction? You!
And I dress as a king so that you are,
You are the king of a magical night!
Behind this mask you know it’s me...
It’s just me!
What I seek, what I want, only God knows?
And only God knows it!
And every time I will be born.
And every time I will die.
For this fairy tale that is mine!
Come, I’ll take you into my fairy tale!!!
 
(5+5) dark black pearls. For Imasoulman tyrone davis can i change my mind
Where have I heard that guitar riff before?
Tyrone "the wonder boy" has produced a couple more hits, but how many people know?
 
(5+5) dark black pearls. For @[imasoulman] The Politicians Featuring McKinley Jackson - The World We Live In - 1972
This is a MASTERPIECE!
Black, angry, badass.
Three funky and free jazz, anticipating a lot of stuff.
But they are not a meteoric rise, consider that they were the group working with Holland-Dozier-Holland!
 
(5+5) dark black pearls. ROY HAMILTON - UNCHAINED MELODY 1955
Series dedicated to @[imasoulman]
Yes, because I like the risk....
When you play against the top-ranked team, a draw is already a good result! But even losing while playing openly is fine.... So if I can surprise the good Ima and maybe make him discover a little classic that slipped past him, it will be - for me - a nice win.
For everyone else (who aren't as encyclopedic as our man), I hope the listening experience is pleasant and that some beautiful discoveries can be made.
The first is Roy Hamilton, who wrote a ton of hits, but no one (or very few) knows him. Like this one that you all know from various, countless versions. He recorded it in 1955....
Actually, this one goes straight into #iladri what do you think @[G]?
