Got soul?
This afternoon, while tackling some yard maintenance projects, we thought we'd put in the earbuds and play with Pandora on the iPhone. Just for kicks, we popped in "Rufus Thomas." And the rest was epic history:
Wilson Pickett - Barefootin'
Otis Redding - Security
Rufus Thomas - The Breakdown
Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band - Express Yourself
Al Green - I Want to Hold Your Hand
Wilson Pickett - Something Within Me
Otis Redding - I Can't Turn You Loose
Rufus Thomas - 6-3-8
Lowell Fulson - I'm a Drifter
Branding Iron - Right, Tight and Out of Sight
Dyke & the Blazers - Funky Broadway, Parts 1 & 2
Rufus Thomas - Jump Back '75 (Part 1)
Otis Redding - Change Gonna Come
One commercial. We live in wondrous times.

I love "Express Yourself" by Charles Wright & the Watts 103 Street Rhythm Band: a bouncing Hall of Fame bass line, a regulation killer horn section, a groove For the ages, and then the Wisdom:
"It's not what you look like, when you're doin' what you're doin'.
It's what you're doin' when you're doin' what you look like you're doin'!"
Words to live by, my brothers and sisters. Words to live by.

Everything don't mean a thing if it's not the thing you want.
