SWEET SOUL MUSIC

Do you like good music?
Ha! That sweet soul music,
just as long as it's swinging.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

We're out there on the floor, y'all,
goin' to a go-go,
dancin' with the music.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Spotlight on Lou Rawls, y'all.
Oh, don't he look boss, y'all.
Singin' 'Love's a Hurtin' Thing', y'all.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Spotlight on Sam and Dave, y'all.
Oh, don't they look great, y'all.
Singin' 'Hold on, I'm Coming'.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Spotlight on Wilson Pickett now,
that wicked wicked Pickett
singin' Mustang Sally'.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Spotlight on Otis Redding now
singin' 'fa fa fa fa fa fa
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa'.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Spotlight on James Brown, y'all.
He's the king of them all, y'all.
He's the king of them all, y'all.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Do you like good music?
Ha! That sweet soul music,
just as long as it's swinging.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

"This is IT,this is the ONE Does anybody feel the way I do when I hear this GREAT SONG. A fabulus soulful singer bustin' out and pouring his heart to give tribute to some of the greatest MUSICIANS of that day and there have been fewer with this kind of heart. God bless them all for giving so much and recieving so little . We can never give them what they have earned but we can love their music. I'm keeping them above all others"
