Reverend Columbus Mann - They Shall Be Mine

Another Motown stab at gospel music; this is a rollicking boogie-woogie number.  The song has its moments, especially when Reverend Mann starts listing the saved (Obadiah, Oh Zachariah...); unfortunately it's not well recorded and it's hard to make out what the choir is saying.

The B-Side Jesus Loves starts out with a really slow, really drawn out introduction; and then suddenly Reverend Mann turns into Reverend James Brown.  That's pretty cool, but it's a test of patience to get there.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Going through the process of acquiring the cds of albums releases for which I have the vinyl, obviously did nearly all my favourites from all decades a good while back, but man some of these 80s albums are a bit marginal, the Rolling Stones 'Steel Wheels' is a deeply pedestrian affair, talk about them going through the motions.

I now have the CD for an album I probably listened to once 25 years ago, then but the vinyl away, I've now heard the CD and have put that away for probably another 25 years!  :hmm:

I thought they really phoned it in on the next two albums (Voodoo Lounge and Bridges to Babylon.)  I didn't bother listening to their last one (A Bigger Bang.)

Yes 60s and 70s Stones is where it's at; a friend of mine has some nice Stones photos, her mother was friends with the band in the mid-60s and gave her daughter some, by definition unique, B&W polariods of her and the band hanging out together.  :cool:

I bought Voodoo Lounge because I liked "Love is Strong", but the album was rather forgettable.

The other new album by old band I bought around the same time was the far superior Division Bell.

Meh...Momentary Laps has a couple good moments (Sorrow, On The Turning Away) but overall is rather weak.

The Equadors - Someone to Call My Own (1961)

A straightforward doo-wop number in which the lead singer wants a woman.  He doesn't seem to have any requirements beyond that; just a woman.  The B side You're My Desire is a straight up street corner doo-wop ballad.  Neither of these songs went anywhere; and they never had another single at least as The Equadors.  No one seems to know who these people are.  There was a fifties Philadelphia doo-wop group called The Equadors who had a minor hit with Sputnik Dance and there was an early rock and roll group called the Ecuadors who played with Chuck Berry and had a hit with Let Me Sleep Woman (that's Chuck on the guitar) but neither of them seems to be the same Equadors as the Motown Equadors.

It's better than the Oneders at least.

Danish act Lukas Graham was on Conan's show and as always when any Dane is on an American show the comments on the video released online are all Danes writing about how fantastic it is. :lol:

Spotify's year in music feature is kind of fun.  Apparently (with no real surprise), my top categories this year were:

1. Pop
2. Indie R&B
3. Urban Contemporary
4. Deep Melodic House
5. EDM

Can you give me examples of what 2, 4 and 5 are?
