You could listen to good music, if you took the time to switch your radio dial to find the black stations. I'm talking back in the late 40's & 50's. On Sundays, you could listen to good gospel music & preaching all day long. Rev. C.L. Franklin broadcast from the New Bethel Baptist Church and you could hear his amazing daughter, Aretha. Even the commercials were great!
lyrics! ;)My baby don't stand no cheatin', my babe
Oh yeah she don't stand no cheatin', my babe
Oh yeah she don't stand no cheatin',
She don't stand none of that midnight creepin'
My babe, true little baby, my babeMy babe, I know she love me, my babe
Oh yes, I know she love me, my babe
Oh yes, I know she love me,
She don't do nothin' but kiss and hug me
My babe, true little baby, my babeMy baby don't stand no cheatin', my babe
Oh no, she don't stand no cheatin', my babe
Oh no, she don't stand no cheatin',
Ev'rything she do she do so pleasin'
My babe, true little baby, my babeMy baby don't stand no foolin', my babe
Oh yeah, she don't stand no foolin', my babe
Oh yeah, she don't stand no foolin',
When she's hot there ain't no coolin'
My babe, true little baby, my babe
She's my baby (true little baby) ...
What can you possibly say about this record except that it is electrifyingly, pulsatingly, funkily, knob-tinglingly exquisite., Give a group of the best trained classical musicians in the world the dots for this number and it would sound... crap. Blues is that magic sound that happens between a musician and his instrument when he is in touch with his god and playing his heart out... plus a little something else... We don't know what it is but when we hear it we love it.
I have just been listening the Cream reunion at RAH and though Jack and Ginger played great I cannot recall a single phrase that Clapton knocked out. He is a very accomplished twiddler but - apart from his early recordings - he seems to slipped into a regurgitater of tired, meaningless licks. Unlike Little Walter whose every phrase is magic. I first heard this when I was a kid and haven't heard it for years but immediately remembered every note.
