    We use to call it ‘Soul Music’ especially when Soul Man hit by Sam and Dave. I would go to the VFW and they’d meet me at the door. Then I had a friend who’d say you going sing tonight I got a request . And I’d do it. Cause I was raised up on it. Early 60’s the radio seemed to always be playing in the house and there I was the youngest listening to ‘Poison Ivy.’ The Isley Brothers with Shout, a huge hit for them. Those Brothers became huge in the late 60’s with Its your thing and those great hits of the 70’s. When you’d walked the neighborhood back then in the 60’s and 70’s , there was a lady down the street who played her door opened and the music coming through the screen door. Maybe cause it was hot but you’d
    hear that music blasting on the huge floor model stereos..All of sudden the music drenched over you like a baptism and you was never the same.. I was blessed to have a big family older brothers and sisters that help mold my character. You wouldn’t step out to sing cause you afraid of the big M (monotone) and the they’d tell you to shut up. Well the school I went to the teachers made sure you had a well rounded education.. They even let the older kids sing the Black National Anthem ‘ Lift ever voice and sing.’ on the radio station . And there we younger kids setting in the class listening on the radio. And this big ole grin would come across your face of pride. Now as time moved on Soul Music was being crossed over by British Artist who delve into some that good old soul Music. The Rolling Stones and the Beatles led the way. Surely we can’t forget about the great Dick Clark who put black artist on his television show American Bandstand.. Then Civil Rights played a part of our history with the Impressions and the great Curtis Mayfield , ‘People Get Ready and We’re a Winner’. Then you had James Brown I’m black and I’m proud. Seemed like he put out a hit record every week. He even bought a Jet with Brown painted on the tail to take him to all those great places to entertain people. Then Hitsville in the Motor City founder Barry Gordy with the Great Motowns sounds . Mr
    Bill ‘Smokey’ Robinson
    of the Miracles . The back of band was the Funk Brothers at the helm turning hot hit after hit every week. They even tried to hide in a funeral home to get away from Barry. They were that good great jazz musicians who could tailor music to fit the individual artist. Down in the south Memphis Stax contribution with a brother and sister converting an old theater into a recording studio. Legendary guitar player Steve Cropper a member of the Booker T and the MG’s tells this story. ‘One day this big fellow setting up the mic for an artist when he beg them to let him sang. Finally they did and he broke out with these arms are mine. Steve said the place just stop
    people inside and outside couldn’t believe that voice. And the great Otis Redding was born. Others artist followed,Al Green, Rufus and Carla Thomas . Going back to Dick Clark He featured all the great artist to from Little Richard to Chubby Checker to Temptations, Four Tops, Little Stevie Wonder, and the great Jackson Five, to Issac Hayes. But let’s not forget Ed Sullivan whose Sunday Shows were simply awestruck with great talent.. The Supremes, The Four Tops, and Marvin Gaye. Ain’t that peculiar. But there also some music by the Doors, the Young Rascals with ‘Grooving and It’s a Beautiful Morning.’ Yeah music had a great influence on us. But Soul Music took a different turn in the early 70’s with The Fifth Dimension with Aquarius and Let the Sunshine In, and Stone Soul Picnic. There’s that Soul word coming up? We held onto every word. The Friends of Distinction’Grazing in the Grass. Marvin’s Gaye’s ‘Too Busy Thinking about my Baby. Oh don’t forget Gladys Knight and the Pips Midnight Train to Georgia. And the laid back sounds of Dione Warwick who later had a niece that took over the charts with the Great Whitney Houston. But don’t forget the Jackson Five’s I want you back. Of course all this soul business started with the likes of Sam Cooke, Nat King Cole, Harry Belafonte, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and the late Etta James of Cadillac Records. The great Muddy Waters and Howling Wolf. Then seem like every town had a Jute Joint across the tracks. A house converted into club with juke box, pool table, liquor. The people loved it cause it was a gathering spot for folks to really get down. The sounds of BB King screaming guitar and Bobby Blue Blands smooth ballad voice.. Our neighborhoods were proud brothers having them long Duce and Quarter Buicks and Cadillacs. Do you know some fool out there had gangster whites on a Monte Carlo? Come on man red and white.. Let’s move on. Then college time hit Earth Wind, and Fire, Bill Withers Ain’t no sunshine, Ohio Players, Marvin Gaye’s ‘ What’s going on album was simply the greatest songs of all time. Then here come the Commodores and Lionel Richie Brickhouse. We was grooving all the time ..Stevie and The Jackson were big but probably the biggest thing that made an impact was Apollo Theater featuring all the great artist. If you could make it there you could make it anywhere. The rap music made its debut with Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five, Sugar Hill Gang, and Let’s not forget Snoop. How about the dual one of my favorites, Hall and Oates, Peter Frampton, Gloria Gaynor, Donna Summer, and Chic with Nile Rogers with the disco era. The Tramps with you Sexy thing and Billy Oceans Carribean Queen. Soul Music was the music what
    you was raised up with, it’s in your blood, your body, the way you talk and even some in the way you walk..We can’t out War ‘All day Music, Gap Band with the Tulsa, Oklahoma natives the Wilson Brothers. Yes soul music is in us and let not forget it. We are one Frankie Beverly and Maze, Tone Toni, Toney, Sly and the Family l Stone, The O’jays, SWV, and the biggest one of all Beyoncé and Rhiana , Wyle Cliff, Bob Marley, Third World, Warren G, Heavy D, and on and on and on.. I know I left out some out but you know who you are. LB Wednesday April 3, 2023

    Marvin Gaye once described James Jamerson as Motown's "secret weapon." Going on to say that Jamerson's "busy bass" was a key ingredient to so many hits from the label. Berry Gordy, the owner of Motown Records was notorious for not listing session players on the albums liner notes. When Marvin Gaye recorded the seminal "What's Goin On" he insisted that Jamerson be listed on the liner notes and pushed until Gordy acquiesced.

    James Jamerson - one of the most legendary and gifted with the groove that could only come from the Divine! The man was a genius at his craft and this concert is a rare and amazing gem to be treasured considering that he wasn't given even close to enough credit for all that he did to not only influence electric bass but bass in general! James is by far one of my favorite bassists ever and his syncopation, choice of notes and time in the pocket was as his fellow Funk Brother, Jack Ashford (who played percussion and vibes in the Motown Funk Brothers at Motown) said, was "untouchable"! And it's true! Jamerson did all of his playing with "The Hook" which was the one of finger that he played with which to this day and probably for the rest of mine, I will never fully understand how in the world he was able to play and groove the way he did with just one finger, I mean granted he was an upright player first before he switched over to the electric and it makes sense, but some of his lines like on "Darling Dear", or "Ain't Know Mountain High Enough", "Bernadette" and so many more, I cannot fathom how one can keep the time as impeccable he did! Rest In Peace James, you were a legend and ahead of your time! He was truly a virtuoso and a pioneer in his field of music!

    Man Martha was an absolute frigging STAR-what a voice. What a band too, I don't know who is playing the congas here it's not Bongo Jones but whoever he is is rocking man, and James-what can you say

    Always amazing to listen to James Jamerson. Martha Reeves, seriously under valued in my opinion (over time), ,hell of a voice. Also really liked that she did a van Morrison song (Wild Night).

      Yes, she was always so great to hear and to watch. She was born with a groove in every bone of he body. No wonder she was first call for everyone from Delaney & Bonnie and Linda Ronstadt to Humble Pie and Martha Reeves.

    The underrated (and not nearly well enough known) “Granny’s Bathwater Band” from Springfield Missouri were hired en mass to back Martha Reeves back in the 70’s.

    What a time to have this on television. I remember finding nuggets like this on the tube and it expanded my musical journey. Too bad we our tube had only one speaker. This would be great to revisit and remaster for new surround systems. Hopefully, motivate new generation practice will allow you to sing without autotune and play real instruments.
