Lewis Dee/WKXN

I try to listen to southern soul 24/7 and, thanks to the internet, I can do it!  But, there's nothing like listening to it live on the radio!  You can't beat turning on your radio in your home or in the car and being able to listen to the blues.  When I'm in south/central Alabama, I love to listen to Lewis Dee live on WKXN out of Montgomery from 6 - 9 a.m. and noon - 3 p.m. CST on the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Saturdays! Check out his website at http://grownandsexyradio.webs.com/.

King Floyd - "I Feel Like Dynamite"

Hit me horn!  Oh, do I love that opening line!  When I get to doing my thing, I feel like dynamite. And then later he says, "Watch me ya'll, I'm smokin!"  This is fantastic old school.  I feel alright, I feel like dynamite!

King Floyd was so popular back in the 70s.  Groove Me, What Our Love Needs, Woman Don't Go Astray, I Feel Like Dynamite, and Baby Let Me Kiss You are the King Floyd hits that I remember; his music brings back great memories.  See my post dated 1/16/2011.

I can do anything I want to do, you betcha!

Shirley Brown - "Who is Betty?" (plus lyrics)

This is a song of a woman who is in so much pain.  She finds a love letter from her husband and thought that the words were so beautiful.  Each line of the letter was filled with passion and said things that a woman needs to hear. You can imagine her shock when she gets to the end of the letter and it says 'I love you, Betty' and Betty isn't her name.  You can hear the questions that go through her mind and the hurt she feels.  She wants to know who is Betty and wonders how she got inside his heart.

Enjoy!

Johnnie Taylor - "I'm Not The Same Person"

This is old school JT and I love it.  He says that he’s not the same person that he used to be and that he was grown up in age but wasn’t grown up in mind.  (That's deep.) He’s says that he’s changed and he’s not like he used to be.  He caused his girl a lot of heartache and he wants to make it up to her.  Johnnie Taylor, it takes a man to admit that.

He’s says that he’s not like what he used to be.

Tyrone Davis - "Freak"

I didn't know Tyrone Davis was so freaky!  Well, maybe I did.  (smile) This is an awesome dance song and would be great for any kind of party!

I’ll be your freak early in the morning and again late at night!

Enjoy!!

Shirley Brown - "Watch What You Tell Your Friends"

Shirley is telling her man the right thing and this is great advice for both men AND women.  I'm a huge believer that what goes on in your house, stays in your house.   She tells her man that he should watch what he tells his friends because they might be the ones who do him in.  She said that it's nobody's business what they're doing in their private time.  Great words of wisdom!!

You don’t want to let it have to be your mouth that’s the reason that you get put out.

Lamorris Williams - "It's Whatever"

Oh, do I like this man Lamorris Williams!!  He said to just let him know when I'm ready and he’ll take me wherever I want to go - it’s whatever.  Meaning it’s whatever I want.  That's what I'm talking about!

He said his checkbook is my checkbook - what a man!!

FaLisa JaNaye - "Can't Nobody"

FaLisa JaNaye has an absolutely beautiful voice.  Here's a song about a girl who had a good man and let him go.  If you've ever lost someone and regretted it, you'll understand.

My man is gone, he went away

And left me sitting here crying on a rainy day

See I’m sick and tired of being alone

Lying in your arms is where I belong

Chorus

Can’t nobody love me like you

Can’t nobody do what you do

Can’t nobody love me like you

Can’t nobody treat me like you do

My friends tell me to leave him alone

But I want to work it out

Girl, I need my man at home

Now I’m woman enough to say it was my fault

I didn’t appreciate what I had

And now I‘m feeling what I lost

Chorus

Well I’m crying out

Gonna put my pride aside

So you know how much I love you

I’ll lay my heart on the line

Cause I need you baby

Cause I’m saying in my own song

You don’t miss your water till your well runs dry

You don’t miss a good thing till it’s gone

XXOOXX
Enjoy!
