William Bell - You Don't Miss Your Water

Wikipedia
Here is a beautiful song by William Bell, "You Don't Miss Your Water".

In the beginning
You really loved me

 Oh, how I cried
You don't miss your water Your well run dry

The Emotions made a great Christmas song, What Do The Lonely Do At Christmas. It is a song written by Homer Banks & Carl Mitchell Hampton. 'Tis the season to be jolly But how can I be when I have nobody The yuletide carol doesnt make it better Knowing that we won't be together A silent night, I know its gonna be Joy to the world but its gonna be sad for me What do the lonely do at Christmas? Oh, what do the lonely do at Christmas time?….

The Temptations, Silent Night, is the best remake ever. I never would have thought of singing Silent Night this way.

Isaac Hayes - UNsung

To be honest, I was never an Isaac Hayes fan, but my father was. Women thought he was a sexy bald headed man. Isaac was a man of many talents. From this documentary, I learned some things I never knew about him.

The Story of Stax Records



Wikipedia
This is a playlist of Stax Records. It is a documentary and story of Stax Records. This story should be known. We always here about Motown, but not all of us know about Stax. Al Bell (Stax Director of Promotions): "The finger snap signaled a change."

I often use to wonder about the Stax Logo. When I was a little girl, I wondered why they used a hand for a logo. I saw the logo as a hand and not a finger snap. Even though the fingers are together in the logo, I could not put it together that it was a logo symbolizing a finger snap. The hand was always spooky looking to me through a child's eyes. Now that I'm an adult, I laugh at my thoughts as a child. So what does the symbol mean to me now. It means music. The symbol represents all of us that love great finger snapping music. I can see more clearly now laugh out loud.

Otis Redding - I Can't Turn You Loose

Otis Redding was great in performing. In this video he sings live. Otis sings I Can't Turn You Loose. He was full of energy and had a great soul voice. I'm sure it made the musicians and audience get into the groove.
