Slim Harpo‘s “Scratch My Back.”
O’Jays stroll on Soul Train. [h/t Gwendolyn W.]
The Persuasions are one of the best a capella groups ever. Frank Zappa referred to bassman Jimmy “Bro” Hayes as “The Human Sub-Woofer.” (The Persuasion’s tribute to Zappa Frankly A Cappella is excellent, btw.)
And I’m out of time for tonight, so have a great weekend folks. See you tomorrow.
I love the retro sound of The Black Keys, and I dance like that guy.

I can’t play harmonica and guitar at the same time. Heck I can’t play guitar and sing either. Okay, my guitar playing sucks, I can’t sing and my harp is middling.
Benjamin Tehoval amazes me. [h/t to Bagua.]
Slim Harpo‘s “Scratch My Back” with a nice vid attached.
The Marcels‘ “Blue Moon” is a classic. They recorded their 1961 hit in just two takes – and the recordings are almost indistinguishable from each other.
The late Stéphane Grappelli‘s version of “Blue Moon” is closer to the 1934 original, and it’s a pretty song to end this post with.
Have a great weekend folks. Come back here tomorrow for more inanity.
