Uvee Hayes - "Maintenance Man"

Uvee Hayes says that she needs a maintenance man.  She finds one and tells him that the word around town is that he's good with his hands...and he works overtime.  I don't know Uvee.  I understand he has good references and all that but I just don't know if I want the man that everyone has used before.  I guess it depends on the type of work I need done! lol

I need some repairs to make everything alright!

Mose Stovall - "Sneakin"

I think this is so pretty.  I wrote about it last year (http://southernsoulparadise.blogspot.com/2017/03/mose-stovall-sneakin.html) and it is worth reposting.  You can check out Mose Stovall each day on Birmingham's WJLD (http://wjldradio.com/)!!

Columbus Toy (I'm Gone) and Charles Wilson (Baby Sitter)

I love both of these songs - and I guess I would because the melody is the same.

Lynn White with Willie Clayton - "Slow & Easy/Take Me To The Mountain Top"

I love, love, love this duet between Lynn White and Willie Clayton. Their voices are perfect together and this is one of those songs that I play about three or four or five times back to back! lol

My two favorite lines:
Love me till my heart stops!
Lying here beside you is as close to heaven as I want to be.

So beautiful!

Carl Marshall and Bigg Robb - "Good Loving Will Make You Cry"

Had a call the other day from my Mississippi sister because she and her teenage son were having a discussion about "Good Loving Will Make You Cry" by both Carl Marshall and Bigg Robb. I think he liked them equally the same but since she hadn't heard both songs, thought I'd post them. Yayyy my southern soul nephew!! 😊💕

I love Carl Marshall's version but they're both great!


Classics!!

Ms. Jody - "Still Strokin'"

One of my favorite Ms. Jody records - probably because she makes it clear that southern soul music is here to stay and we're still strokin'! Yes!!

Jerry Washington - "Right Here Is Where You Belong"

Have you ever heard a song that you hadn't heard in a long, long time and you still remember the words? "Right Here Is Where You Belong" is one of those songs.  Lewis Dee played it on his show yesterday and I think it's probably been 40 years since I had heard it. It came out in 1973 and I loved it! Thank you Lewis Dee - it brought back good memories!!😊

Ms. Jody - "Another Other Woman"

Don't you love Ms. Jody?  She's one of my favorites.  Dr. Nick played this record the other night on Spice Internet Radio (thank you Dr. Nick!!) and this song is in traditional Ms. Jody style - she keeps it real. In "Another Other Woman," she starts out saying that infidelity wasn't really her thing but she was cool with it as long as she was the only sidepiece he had.  Well, of course he cheats on her and that's where she draws the line. Have you ever been in that situation?  Here are a few lines from "Another Other Woman."

I've been the other woman in your life for quite awhile
Although sharing you with your wife was really not my style
But I agreed to go along 
Just as long as i knew I was the only other woman that you were giving your love to
But I should have known how it would be
If you cheated on me with your wife
You would cheat with another on me
You can't have your cake and eat it, too
If I'm not the only other woman, you and I are through.

"Another Other Woman" is taken from Ms. Jody's recent 2018 CD, Thunder Under Yonder.

I told you before I'm not going to date a married playboy!

Mystery Man - "Bedroom Workout"

I like this - it sounds like southern soul!!  This song is quite a few years old and still sounds great!  I can't find out too much about Mystery Man other than he has published a few albums and his real name is Jimmie Warren.  You know I'm going to keep looking to see what I can find.

Enjoy!!

Miss Lady Blues - "Sharing Ain't Easy"

You know I'm a huge Miss Lady Blues fan.  I love her voice!

"Sharing Ain't Easy" is about dealing with yourself and your emotions when you're cheating.  There are some really great lines in this song and I have to give it to the writers.  We could have a conversation and discussion about each one of these:

It's easy to say what you will and won't do until that very thing happens to you.

Nobody wants to feel all alone especially when you're in your own home.

You can't really help who your heart chooses to love and in this situation it just happens to be us.

Sharing ain't easy...just hope nobody figures it out!

Love this song!
