#Contralto singers are a particular fave of mine.
& on & on.
Imagine Annie Lennox covering Peter Paul & Mary songs! THAT would be epic.

Ted Tocks Covers - Year 9 - Day 54
Holding Back the Years
Simply Red was at #1 with this song 40 years ago today.
“Holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I’ve known
Holding back the tears
Cause nothing here has grown
I’ve wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good”#SimplyRed #FranticElevators #MickHucknall #MilesDavis #TheIsleyBrothers #AnotherLevel #EmmersonNogueira #EttaJames #Train

"Spoonful" is a #blues song written by #WillieDixon and first recorded in 1960 by #HowlinWolf. Called "a stark and haunting work", it is one of Dixon's best known and most interpreted songs. #EttaJames and #HarveyFuqua had a pop and R&B record chart hit with their duet cover of "Spoonful" in 1961 and it was popularized in the late 1960s by the British rock group #Cream.

1000 Day Album Challenge (#40) Etta James: The Sweetest Peaches / The Chess Years (1988) [09.02.24]
when the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby / revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah
if all you know by Etta James is At Last plus a couple of other titles this is an excellent place to start. The Sweetest Peaches was either my first or second Etta James purchase. I actually might have bought this at the same time I purchased her classic studio album, Tell Mama (1968), which had been re-released the year before.
the selections on The Sweetest Peaches span her entire career (1960 - 1976) at Chicago’s legendary Chess Records, which happens to be one of the most important labels in the history of Blues, R&B, and Rock & Roll. in addition to Etta James, it was home to Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Howlin’ Wolf, Little Walter, and Willie Dixon, to name but a few.
in a review of her late-eighties record, Seven Year Itch, Robert Christgau best summed up her historical standing: “unbeknownst to white people, she was Soul Sister Number Two – more and better Top-20 R&B back when than Dionne Warwick, Martha Reeves, Tina Turner, Carla Thomas, Irma Thomas, any black woman besides Soul Sister Number One and Diana Ross, who belongs to pop.” (https://www.robertchristgau.com/xg/cg/cgv1088-88.php)
by my count, other than At Last, which dare I say is overplayed, there are six essential songs that I would rather not live without – All I Could Do is Cry, Something’s Got A Hold On Me, Baby, What You Want Me To Do (Live), In The Basement (with Sugar Pie DeSanto), Tell Mama, and I’d Rather Go Blind, which is one of those songs that I’ve been known to play over and over.
