This week's #JukeboxFridayNight theme is #ServingPeople . This is the first song that I thought of:

WILLIAM BELL
It's Time You Took Another Listen
1977 U.S. pressingFriday night #soul of the highest order.
A very FUNKY kind of mid to late #70s soul; mastered and recorded to perfection, as it is one of the greatest SOUNDING records of that genre and period.
Bell was hugely responsible for the evolution of STAX’s sound, and the dude was an incredible songwriter.
“Yesterday I Lied, Today I Cried” is phenomenal, and the 8+ minute “Morning Glory” is the heartbeat of this entire record.
Super underrated, VERY important dude, and a GREAT record.

Yeah, Steve Cropper has passed, a veteran of rockin' blues. Called my blues man Don, we shared a few moments.

Came today from a discogs seller in MA! #vinyl #stax #staxVolt
Things about this record:
- “Behave Yourself” was originally the A side, and it was on Volt. DJs preferred “Green Onions” so they rereleased it on Stax just a couple months later with the A/B labeling reversed
- Lewie Steinberg on bass. Duck Dunn didn’t join the group until 1965 -

ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.19
Albert King. Born Under a Bad Sign
As well as producing some great soul, Stax records was also the home of a sort of soul-blues fusion, of which this Albert King track is a wonderful example. A great blues, with a massive horn arrangement, and a soulful/funky beat; its such a great groove.
And if it sounds familiar, you may have heard Cream's nearly note for note cover (which, of course, lacks the horns).
