Randy Brown -- It Scares Me So

I know, I 've just dedicated an entire AudioBlog to Randy not too long ago -- but he has sung his way into my most-played list. He's made his way into Raggedy's VIP lounge, so to speak. And when  It Scares Me So from his Intimate album was playing while I had breakfast this morning, I took it as a hint ...
His range and versatility never cease to amaze me ... silk, velvet, sandpaper, chiffon -- it's all in one voice.
I think he deserves an encore on SOTS.

Listen!

Mary Queenie Lyons -- We'll Cry Together

Marie “Queenie” Lyons is yet another artist with great talent who disappeared from the world of Soul after only one album.

In 1970 she released “Soul Fever” on James Brown’s King label -- a fact that speaks volumes as to what an accomplished singer she was. The album proves the rest.  

Information on what happened to her after that, consists mainly of one sentence: She disappeared. 

Soul Fever has achieved cult status and is traded as a rare Southern Soul record -- priced as highly as it is valued. 

PS: Looking at the album cover, it strikes me as kind of forboding. Marie seems to be swallowed by the darkness surrounding her; the only thing visible is part of her beautiful face -- but her face too is about to vanish any moment. 

Enjoy!

Temptations Tuesday! I'm The Exception To The Rule

One of my post C5 favorites by the Temptations.

I'm The Exception To The Rule

The Soft! The Creamy! The Velvety! Eddie LeVert

Alright! You guys have been good for the first few days -- after that, things went downhill rapidly. That means the search is over, and I'll use what I've got so far. That is some very good stuff, though.

So let's start with a serving of heavy whipped cream topped with chopped pecans and hazelnuts on a bed of bittersweet chocolate flakes ...

At least that's how I would describe this wonderful voice.
