Ted Tocks Covers - Year 9 - Day 71

Don’t Be Cruel

Elvis Presley was at #1 with Don’t Be Cruel on this day 70 years ago.

“Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of”

Miss Barbara Lynn AKA The Queen of Gulf Coast Rhythm & Soul is both still with us and still performing live at 83yrs young. Here’s “Wild Night Tonight” (https://youtu.be/EFIsU48z5Sw?si=VNSZQ8ExSLxvphnU) from her 2000 album “Hot Night Tonight” (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mcQiKht2oLILG68PFGw8TXNguce_3iPAs&si=3bW5WsVswXPHmhmM)

#HappyBirthday #84 🎉🎂✨🥂♡ ༘*

My pick for this week's #musicwomenWednesday is an old favorite of mine - I bought a repro version of Barbara Lynn's first album ("You'll Lose A Good Thing" on Jamie) when I was seventeen, and I've been a fan of hers ever since:

Barbara Lynn: You'll Lose A Good Thing (1966, from The !!!! Beat)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LprDuGHKRDw

"You'll Lose A Good Thing" had been a major hit for her in 1962, but this is a live performance from The !!!! Beat, a short-lived 1966 TV show, which was hosted by Bill "Hoss" Allen. The back-up group is led by Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown (on guitar).

Barbara Lynn - I Don’t Want A ...

Miss Barbara Lynn AKA The Queen of Gulf Coast Rhythm & Soul is both still with us and still performing live at 83yrs young. Here’s “It’s Better to Have It” from 1966 (https://youtu.be/W1Wj889p9Zo?si=SxHHTWxfLXTq5N3-)

Various Artists, Heavy Soul, 1972 on Atlantic

Great compilation of early seventies soul on Atlantic, including luminaries like Aretha Franklin, Sam & Dave, and King Curtis but also some lesser known folks (at least for me), including Dionne Warwick’s sister Dee Dee Warwick (as Dede) and The Beginning of the End – something of a one-hit wonder with “Funky Nassau. “

Love the gatefold image showing just how heavy the soul is. From the days before playlists and music discovery via streaming it was compilations like this that let year hear folks you didn’t already know.

Tracklist:

• King Floyd – Groove Me
• Brook Benton – Shoes
• Little Sister – Somebody’s Watching You
• Jackie Moore – Precious Precious
• Wilson Pickett – Don’t Let The Green Grass Fool You
• Garland Green – Plain and Simple Girl
• Tyrone Davis – Could I Forget You
• King Floyd – Baby Let Me Kiss You
• Aretha Franklin – Bridge Over Troubled Water
• Wilson Pickett – Don’t Knock My Love – Part 1
• The Beginning of the End – Funky Nassau – Part 1
• Dede Warwicke – Suspicious Minds
• Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway – You’ve Got a Friend
• Barbara Lynn – (Until Then) I’ll Suffer
• The Persuaders – Thin Line Between Love & Hate
• Clarence Carter – Slipped, Tripped, and Fell in Love
• Aretha Franklin – Spanish Harlem
• King Curtis – Changes – Part II
• Sam & Dave – Don’t Pull Your Love
• Betty Wright – Clean Up Woman
