Welcome, Wednesday. Good to see you. We’ll have the second part of our expansion series coming your way shortly. Headlines and the like are on deck, too.
But first, here’s a little-played classic from 1962 that features a heckuva voice, some classic R&B piano, a pounding sax (an instrument that’s basically disappeared from modern music), and a head-bopping beat that’s flat infectious, for lack of a better word.
Plus, how many times are we ever going to be able to write the words “a head-bopping beat” on this site?
Seriously, just try listen to this 50-year-old song without your head swiveling just a bit.
It’s impossible.
“Lover please, please come back. Don’t take a train comin’ down the track.”
CLYDE MCPHATTER – LOVER PLEASE (1962)
