Blogger Uncertain Times reacts to my TAFKAP post[1]. And posts wm classic #55; “Tainted Love“[2] by Gloria Jones. I’d like to throw in Ann Peebles’s “I Can’t Stand the Rain“[3] and O. V. Wright’s version[4] of Latimore’s “Let’s Straighten it Out” as number 56 and 57. The “Rain” track by Peebles is a curious example [...]

This two part playlist was first posted last year, but was later taken down. Somehow I was able to locate the audio files. The playlist features artists born in St. Louis, who grew up in St. Louis, spent their formative musical years in St. Louis, or who got their start in the city. St. Louis once had a vibrant Soul & Blues scene, particularly in the 1950's, 60's and 70's. The St. Louis area also has...

What we have here is, well, let's just say we're all over the place. Ann Peebles, Candi Staton, Me'Shell NdegeOcello, Nancy Wilson, Gladys Knight, Joan Armatrading, Aretha Franklin, Shirley Brown, Betty Carter and Nina Simone all weigh in mightily on the theme of the "other woman." Then we jet to Africa for some meditation with [...]

Ms. Simone invests this reading with a feminist perspective. It's just Nina and piano. And the audience. And it's brilliant.

Your birthday today: You are stubborn, but not quarrelsome. You are fair with people and expect in return, fairness. You are strong-willed and your head very definitely rules your heart. You have nobody listed in the book to share the day with, so perhaps you might consider throwing a party and inviting a few of these birthday notables: Suleiman the Magnificent , Ulysses S. Grant , Hans Hartwig von...

My two most recent posts concerned favorite live performances I was lucky enough to see. Since I didn't think about it much beforehand, I’ve since, of course, thought of some great shows that slipped my mind.
