RIBS TPTD: Dennis Coffey, Billy Preston & New Birth…
UPDATE (06/27/08): Hey Peeps, just realized that there was a problem with the MP3 file download. It has been fixed, so if you DL]d the file before this morning I’m asking that you DL it again so you can get the good version of the file. My apologies for the error and inconvenience.
Piping hot and finally out of the oven!
Some “funky” RIBS today courtesy of 3 artists that were HOT back in the day, but that folks seldom talk about these days…
Once I decided (and “Thanks” must go out to the “PodFather” for his help with the selections this week) to feature Dennis Coffey, it only made sense to bring Billy Preston into the mix. Dennis’ big hit, Scorpio (some serious musical HOTNESS there!) was out around the same time as BPs Outa Space (or at least that’s how I remember it all these years later {smile}). When I hear one of these cuts the other almost always immediately comes to mind.
Our third ingredient in this week’s batch of soul food is another funky outfit that had a very good run back in the 70s, New Birth. Their version of Bobby Womack’s I Can Understand It still ranks as one of my favorite versions of that song, and Got To Get A Knutt is just one of those funky, “fun” songs that always brings a smile to my face.
So… take a seat, pile your plate high and dig in. Oh and when you’re finished here don’t forget to check out the question I posed in the previous post:
I’m curious as to how folks today define soul music and who you all think are the soul artists active today that we’ll be talking about years from now.
