Clay Hammond -- The Good Side Of My Girl

I am in the mood for a voice resembling Sam Cooke's set against a backdrop of a soft guitar, a moaning harp, interspersed with the sound of a Hammond organ. Top the whole thing with perfect female background vocals and a driving drum beat showing the song its direction. I could have said I am in the mood for some Southern Soul -- but that just won't do it.

The Facts Of Life -- Lost Inside You

It'll be a busy Monday for me -- so, there is only a track without words ...


Amazon.com says:
"2008 two CD anthology from the '70s Soul trio. Formed and mentored by Millie Jackson, the Facts Of Life are best remembered for their mid- 1977 R&B Top 40 hit 'Sometimes'. Something of a Soul supergroup, the FOL comprised Northern Soul hero Chuck 'I'm A Lover' Carter, former Flamingo Keith Williams and Tyrone Davis' sister Jean. Their recordings are much prized by Southern Soul aficionados. Just The Facts contains both of the group's original Kayvette albums, which include all of their single A-sides, plus a selection of non-album B-sides and alternative versions - their complete recordings in fact. Southbound."

Enjoy!
