Do you remember this from the mid 70s? It was a great song and brings back memories. You don't hear it that much and it was a treat to hear it played on the radio. It's a story of two married people who got caught. It's interesting, they let each other know that they've got each other's backs. No matter what's going to happen, it was worth it for them. Wow.
Get dressed
baby I’m afraid we’re caught
Your husband
is here and somebody must have tipped him off
He’s waiting
in the lobby with tears in his eyes
And not
there alone, no no no, my wife is by his side
Whatever goes
down I’m with you all the way
But baby it’s
the consequence I know we’ll have to pay
Chorus
We’re caught
in the act of getting it on
We tried our
best to fight it but no we weren’t that strong
Caught in
the act of getting it on
We just
couldn’t leave each other alone
Could it be
we were followed the minute we left the house
They could
have given the bellboy five dollars and he sold us out
My only
regret is that they didn’t wait a little longer
We were in
the midst of heaven when hell broke in on us
It’s an ugly
situation, this I’ve got to say
But it’s
worth the price I know we’ll have to pay
Chorus
Well,
whatever goes down, girl I’m with you all the way
But baby it’s
the consequence I know we’ll have to pay

Vick Allen started singing when he was five years old, and baby, look at him now! I think "Soul Music" is one of his best songs and it has an old school feel to it. He says there's nothing like soul music and it's what he wants, it's what he needs. You'll really like this!
T.K. Soul sings beautiful ballads and this is such a pretty song. It tells the story of losing family members and only being able to see them in his mind. It is also a song of thanks.
Daddy worked
hard every day of his life
Never heard
him complain once
My whole
life
Strong survivor
for the family
Same kind of
man that I try to be
To see him
today sure would be nice
But I’m just
thankful to have had him in my life
Now my life,
what a shame
On that day he
had to go away (Daddy went away)
I can still see
his face in my mind today
Mama took
good care of the kids
And we all
had to learn everything she did
She always
taught us right from wrong
Got me ready
for the day I had to leave home
To see her
today sure would be nice
But I’m just
thankful to have had her in my life
Now my life,
what a shame
On that day
she let had to go away (Mama went away)
I can see
her pretty face in my mind today
What mother
had to leave, broke her heart
Another brother
went away, tore me apart
I was lost
so long for awhile
Had to turn
to my children to make me smile
To see them
today, sure would be so nice
But I’m just
thankful to have had them in my life
Now my life,
what a shame
On that day they
had to go away
I can still
see their face in my mind today
I'm just thankful to have had them in my life!

I just read an interesting story about the singer of "Mississippi Boy" and it bothers me when artists don't get the credit they deserve. It looks as if Will T., and not Charles Wilson, is the artist on this very popular song that has even been re-released by other artists. When you get a few moments, read the Daddy B. Nice interview with Will T.; he gets a chance to tell his side of the story - it's excellent: http://www.southernsoulrnb.com/corner2013.cfm.
I love David Brinston but was kind of surprised when my sister told me she heard this on Tom Joyner's show. It's a little risque (to say the least) but we've got to get southern soul to the masses so more and more people will hear and love our music as much as we do!
Happy birthday Marvin Sease!!! He would have been 67 years old today and he is truly missed!!! I love Marvin and he recorded some of the best music ever. I couldn't let this day go by without posting something of his. Marvin says he's got a good wife and everyone knows that he's no good. He says that his wife gave him an ultimatum so he has to clean up what he messed up; starting his life all over again.
I don't know which came first - this song or the gospel version of this song. Someone please let me know!
Happy Birthday Marvin! We miss you!!!

Wow!! How did I miss this song? I've been playing it over and over and I love it. Thank you WKXN for playing it this morning! I'm a huge Lamorris Williams fan (see my entries dated 12/17/2012, 11/11/2012, 4/2/2012, 1/2/2012, and 11/17/2011) and I think L.J. Echols is really good (9/12/2012). These guys may be relatively new to the scene, but I believe that both of them are going to produce some fabulous music in the upcoming years.
Lamorris and L.J. start this song by talking and having a good time. Then, when you hear them sing, their voices really complement each other. In the middle of the song, they talk about the fact that whenever they go somewhere, people think they're too young to sing the blues. They let us know that we have lost so many of our seasoned southern soul artists, such as Johnnie Taylor, Tyrone Davis, ZZ Hill, and Marvin Sease and they say that someone has to keep the blues going. I'm so glad that they've stepped up to the plate!
When you put these two together though, you've got a great southern soul song. The chorus of this song is the absolute best.
If you need
a little room
Just let me
know
I’ll tell
all the other girls
Please clear
the floor
You know
just how to get it
You know
just how to put your back in it
So baby when
you’re ready
Let me see you drop that
thing steady
Chorus
Now baby
back it up
Baby, take it
slow
Work your
way down to the floor
Now get
close to me
Get close to
me
Get close to
me
Baby get
close to me
You’ve got
some junk in your trunk
And I like
the way you wiggle that rump
You got us
all looking baby take it slow
Before you
drop it down low
I don’t see
how you move with them tight britches on
But you know
just how to get it
To a down
south southern soul song
Chorus
You know
what Lamorris, what you say LJ, everywhere we go
People always
think we are too young to sing the blues
That’s what
they say, but you know what I tell them
That Johnnie
Taylor’s gone, Tyrone Davis gone
And ZZ Hill
gone, and Marvin Sease
So somebody’s
gotta keep this blues going, so LJ, what you think
We’re young
and we’re ready
We’re young
and we’re ready
When we come
to your town
We’re gonna
cool it down (so you better get ready)
Your love is
like the holy ghost! That was one of my
favorite Bar-Kays’ song back in the day and I absolutely adored the percussion and bass - here is the fabulous eight-minute extended version. Can you believe that they are
celebrating 40 years in the music industry? They have released their 30th
album titled “Grown Folks” and here is their title track. They have a great video with the song and it is just so awesome to hear their new music. They have a great website, http://thebar-kays.com/, and it’s filled
with a lot of great info.

I have been listening to Bill Coday's version of this song for awhile and always liked the catchy beat. I never knew that it was a remake of the original song by Charles Wilson. "In The Room" was first done by Wilson and is on his album, "It's Sweet On The Backstreet," which came out in 1995. Coday did it a couple of years later and it can be found on his 1997 "Can't Get Enough" album.
Here is Charles' Wilson's "In The Room." In this song, the man was in the room next to the room where he was cheating on his girl. He found out that his woman was loving his best friend. They were both so wrong.
