Some really beefy funk with sweet vocals. The Jungle Room has a wonderful write-up on her if you like what you’re hearing. Totally underrated singer, this one!

HT: Andy Ck.

Yes, I know, it’s vulgar. Here’s the major difference: if you take away the expletives, the song holds its own to any classic R&B. It’s a mean feat to be able to keep a song relevant without trying for the cheap shock of F- this, F- that, every other work. Props to Cee Lo for a nice slice of soul.

It’s true that the 1960s was the richest decade for music. A dear friend of mine, Kathy, gave me a rather stunning reminder of this when posting this video by The Equals, a mixed-race group who managed to pull together roots music, R&B and reggae into one mighty delicious soup. This track is perhaps best known as a song the Clash covered to great effect, but the original is nothing to sneeze at!
