Siliab, in 1972 I went to see the Rolling Stones in Fort Worth on one of the stops of the 'Exile on Main Street' tour, unaware that the two opening acts were the Staple Singers and then Stevie Wonder. The Stones were a decided anticlimax, if they'd been smart they'd have played first instead of last.
Stax soul jag
It started this week when I picked up the new Stax 50th Anniversary Celebration 2CD box at a local discount store. I swear I can't go in for a bar of soap without perusing the ever diminishing CD selection & going home with something new. Anyway, these discs are really bringing back alot of great memories (wearing out those soul 45's w/a penney taped on the headshell).
What a great genre/era for music, huh? What are some of your soul favs? Going on next is Curtis Mayfield, self-titled then Black Moses.....
Have a safe & enjoyable holiday weekend & cheers!
