The Baby Huey Story album is crazy good, if a bit drug addled. Great stuff.

i'm not that much of a fan of the baby huey album, it's ok, but it's a little lacking in depth - or something - it just doesn't have whatever a great album needs to make you keep going back to it.

now that this is all soul, funk etc... music, i'm gonna add this

alice clark - it's a fantastic album

homer banks now. never made an album, but had a few singles - this being one of his best (a lot of love is another very famous one)

A few months back I picked up Alice Clark's "The Complete Studio Recordings 1968-1972," great stuff!

 

 

I've been listening to the Fugi disc Mary, Don't Take Me On No Bad Trip quite a bit lately. If you're into funk/psychedelic-soul music I highly recommend it. Lots of great songs including the original version of "I'd Rather Be a Blind Man" that Etta James remade as "I'd Rather Go Blind."

i downloaded that Fugi album a while ago, when i saw you mention it in the nowplaying thread. it's pretty good, a few of the tracks are a little too unfocused, but mainly it's really good stuff.

 

so, clarence carter has already been mentioned - here's one of my favourites of his:

^ That Clarence video wouldn't play for me, some copyright message popped up.

 

Expanding the scope of this thread even more, here's some 60s R&B from the wonderful Barbara Lynn:
