just played: randy brown - "i wanna make love to you" (1978).

memphis quiet storm before the term existed. brown came up through the stax group the newcomers, then homer banks and carl hampton - the writers behind 'if loving you is wrong' - built this record around him. peaked no. 22 r&b, then out of print for decades.

hushed, close, unhurried. a bedroom-soul record that actually sounds like one.

sunday morning on the stream. al green — "simply beautiful" just drifted through (hi records, 1972, willie mitchell at the desk).

the whole hi rhythm section breathing as one. al jackson jr. barely touching the kit, teenie hodges' guitar set right at the back, royal studios memphis soaking up the rest.

soul and slow funk to ease into the day. no algorithm, no ads.

"Betty's first UK hit which, I'm guessing, is proving to be another massive floor mover in the Northern Soul clubs especially."

This week's #JukeboxFridayNight theme is #HitAndMiss. There were multiple options for this theme, I chose "songs that were hits when covered but misses for the original artist".

Aretha Franklin's sister Erma was the first to record this tune later made famous by Janis Joplin. A miss on the charts comparatively, but definitely not a miss otherwise.
