Simone De - "Tonight Is The Night"

I need this CD - "A Definitive Collection!!"

Simone De, what a beautiful ballad.  He says that he prayed so long just to have her in his arms; he wants to love her for always, all his nights and all his days.

David Brinston - "I Just Love Women"

Ladies, you're going to get mad if you listen to the lyrics of this song. I have posted a lot of his music (google Southern Soul Paradise and David Brinston) and I love the melody of this song but these lyrics will make you stop and shake your head. The reality is that there are actually guys out there like this.

Here's the first verse and the chorus:

I keep my little black book by my telephone
And I keep calling ladies till I catch one at home
After we make love, I’m looking for another
But if she’s not willing, I have so many others
I make love to women, six or seven a day
There’s been times I took on eight
I never met one to give me enough
That’s why I’m always chasing after that good stuff

I just love women
They bring so much joy to my life
I just love women
Whether they’re single or some man’s wife

And this is just the beginning of the song. Ladies, if you see a guy like David, run - run like the wind!!
You've had six or seven in one day and you've even taken on eight???

Marvin Sease - "I'm Still Waiting On You"

Marvin Sease is one of the reasons I LOVE southern soul.  Yeah, I know Candy Licker and all of those x-rated songs (lol) but Marvin made some awesome music. This is one of his great songs that you may not hear a lot.  In "I'm Still Waiting On You," he talks about the possibility of losing the love of his life and how it's destroying him. He lets her know that he messed up but he begs her to come back home.  My heart melts every time he says I miss you like crazy.

I had to take the time to listen (and listen) to this song and wrote down the words:

You’ve been gone away much too long
And it’s time for you to come home
I can’t sleep at night no more
And I still can’t eat a bite
I just toss and I turn
Waiting on the door or the telephone to ring
Baby you don’t know
What this is doing to me
Every morning noon and night
I need you in my life

Chorus
Come on baby
I’m still waiting on you to come on home
Cause I miss you baby
I’m still waiting on you to come on home

Listen, last night I heard a noise
So I got up and I went outside
It was the neighbors coming home
They were hugged up, just walking along
I stood there and watched for awhile
And then I turned around
And I started to cry

Baby I know I was wrong
I made you say so long
I’m begging you with all my heart girl
To give me one more chance

Chorus

I miss you like crazy, come on home
I miss you
I’m still waiting on you to come on home
I miss you like crazy, I said I miss you like crazy
Come on home
You know what, I miss you
I’m still waiting on you to come on home
Because I miss you woman
I miss you like crazy…

Pat Cooley - "Talking To You"

Oh, this is southern soul.  Pat Cooley means business - she doesn't care what you do because she's not going to be a fool!

Here's Pat Cooley's bio as taken from the Soul Blues Music's website: http://www.soulbluesmusic.com/patcooley.htm

Born January 3rd, Pat Cooley was the oldest of 3 children born to Robert & Marie Cooley. Pat started singing at the age of 10, at a church choir anniversary in her hometown of Marietta, Ga. While attending school she sang in the senior and junior church choirs. She also took private voice lessons from Worldwide Opera star Lillian Sullivan.

After graduating school, Pat started singing in R&B Clubs in the Atlanta area and performing sound alike tapes for a local recording studio. While appearing in local clubs she was approached by Clarence Carter who was interested in recording her. She began working for Clarence as his secretary in his recording studio and would help in the studio sometimes doing back-up work or laying demos. By 1980 she was Clarence's opening act.

In 1983 she decided to diversify her music style and went on a DOD Tour with a Country & Western Band, which turned out to be quite a success. Her travels include Turkey, Greece, Beirut, Italy and Spain. She also entertained troops in Beirut and sang on the USS Iwo Jima and the USS Portland.

In 1984 Pat went on tour, and her travels that year included South Africa, Japan, Italy, Amsterdan and Paris. After being so warmly received, Pat recorded her first album entitled "DOUBLE TALK". She then went on to record her CD's entitled "WARM HUG" and "REAL THING". Pat then recorded a single entitled "OLDER WOMAN, YOUNGER MAN", from the compilation CD, Blues, Soul, and Old School, produced by BIGG ROBB. Her latest single entitled "BOY TOY" is a continuation of the "OLDER WOMAN" saga.

I'm glad we have a new generation of singers keeping our southern soul music alive.

Wendell B - "The Best Time I Ever Had in My Life"

I am so in love with this man and his voice.  This is the kind of song that makes you want to turn up the volume so you can hear everything!!!

It was late one night and he didn't have anything to do so he went down to his club. He saw the girl of his dreams and it changed his life.  He tells us to go to our local hole in the wall because we might just have the best time of our lives.

So beautiful.

The music changed his life, too!!

Nathaniel Kimble and TK Soul - "Clap Yo Hands"

If you got your own money, got the keys to your own house, got the keys to your own ride, if you sexy and you know it, clap yo hands!! What a fun, positive song!  They say too many guys are cheating and that ladies, you've been working too hard and you don't need a no good man.  They also say - like my sister always says - have a master plan.  Very good advice.

Would love to interview these two and talk with them about their collaboration!!
