I always misheard or misunderstood lyrics and such. Thought Hendrix was a homo singing "Scuse me while I kiss this guy".
Wondered why this guy was always doing good on his horse...

Happy September, y'all.

Great intro. Right up there with the Theme From Shaft. Then there’s Lou Reed’s Sweet Jane and Mellankamp’s I need a Lover.
Blak America had a problem with it because it described too much of the black experience. Then there’s the really sad one of Hickory Holler’s Tramp-O.C. Smith.
That’s The Funk Brothers for you.
looks like I’m still in my youth ... with the misheard lyric
Blak America had a problem with it because it described too much of the black experience.
Then came Stevie Wonder’s “Livin’ For The City”.
Great film about them out there somewhere.
Great song and a reminder of how good black music was back in the day. Nowadays it sucks.
Yep, watched that and The Wrecking Crew documentary.
Also Curtis Mayfield and the “Superfly” soundtrack.
Speaking of LBJ, and I see your tagline:
Yeah, well I wish I had hung on to my Lockheed stock. 😳😊👍. Obviously its good for defense contractors.
....always thought it could have been “...all he left us was a loan....”...but “alone” is a better lyric...
They have
It’s much worse
Even in North America slavery days
Black families were mid 70s percentile two parent
Per Jesse Peterson
Today black lower income areas are all bad
The urban ones much worse
It’s a global issue with the same denominators
I think my tagline addresses the root cause of the problem.
I love the long version intro. Long and soulful instrumental play. Like Isaac Hayes Shaft.
Saw Isaac Hayes in concert in 1972 at college.
Whoops. Just remembered who I took, so it would have been 1973.
*Black America had a problem with it because it described too much of the black experience.*

This was the 70’s a more decent time in race relations that transcended music after the turmoil of the 60’s.
The ‘black’ deep state went back to work to keep them in line. Many in that deep state were white.
Spinner’s 1970 “It’s a Shame” is my favorite guitar intro of all time, so cheerful and uplifting, and it reappears throughout.
I recently read the saxophone solo before “What’s Going On” was spontaneous but I think it the most tremendous horn intro of all time.
Awesome arrangement in a pretty simple base. 3 chords but they do so much with them.
