Edmund and Ulysses de Moulin’s Contribution to The World

Saturday Matinee – Billy Joel, The Temptations, Aretha Franklin, King Curtis, Booker T & The M.G.’s

All of Billy Joel’s Greatest Hits. Just like they were meant to be.

The Temptations’ 1970 hit “Ball of Confusion” has one of the best lines ever: “Vote For Me and I’ll Set You Free.” [via SADM].

According to Joel Whitburn’s Top Pop Singles, the top artists of 1970 were Neil Diamond and Aretha Franklin. Let’s go with some Aretha:

Aretha Franklin is an American classic. Here she is backed up by King Curtis.

Here’s King Curtis & The Kingpins. The description attached to this vid from the Utoobage: “The only band that could make Booker T & The M.G.’s sweat.”

Proof that Booker T & the MGs didn’t sweat. With that, have a great weekend, folks. See you back here tomorrow.

If I had a horse and wanted to paint and dye him I’d paint and dye him like this just to give him a high five and say, “Dude.”
