I'm feeling blue. I need Green. From my archive of Al... Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Jackie Wilson, Curtis Mayfield, Ike Turner…they are all gone dammit. Gone. How any self respecting (or self flagellating) Christian thinks I should believe in God is beyond me. Not that I need God necessarily, or that I don't believe (in something), and yet, when I hear that true soul survivor,...
Marvin Gaye once sang, “Oh, mercy mercy me/Oh, things ain’t what they used to be/No, no/Where did all the blue sky go?/Poison is the wind that blows/From the north, east, south, and sea/Oh, mercy mercy me…” This song came to…

November is here so it's time for my penultimate legend. Next week will bring the long-hoped-for opportunity to see three Motown Divas: Mable John (the first woman ever signed to the label), Chris Clark and Brenda Holloway. This month I am celebrating a Diva who sadly died nearly 40 years ago. Tammi Terrell lived a life that sounds like the sort of plotline Halle Berry would give her eyeliner to play...

The Life and Times of a 16 Year Old Nerd. (Free subscription) | 11/02/2009
So I'm back at school after the week break. I had a lot of work to do for today, and all of it was done last night. I'm so unorganised and lazy! Most of the work was music work. I had to learn a song to perform to be recorded and I also had an essay to write. So yesterday I had my work cut out for me... I managed to finish it all though. I'm really happy with the choice of song I made for my performance....
From 1966, please enjoy the man himself and one of his coolest early singles, "One More Heartache." LOVE that guitar riff. And now consider if you will, from later that year, a cover of same by The Artwoods , one of the lesser known Brit r&b outfits of the day, but one of the best.
