1973, Al Wilson, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for one week on January 19, 1974 and sold over two million copies.
“...Having surrendered the royalties from her biggest hits, Wells continued touring even as she struggled with drug abuse. However, a longtime smoking habit resulted in the diagnosis of larynx cancer in 1990, reducing her once powerful voice to a whisper....”
Just damn... a shame.
Pretty lady, too.
lol! And “Iron Man” ;-)
By the way, Junior Walker himself played the sax on Foreigner’s “Urgent”. He was doing a show only a few blocks away and they figured hey, why not see if we can hire the real thing?
I was just a bit behind you. I just missed the heyday and still love the Motown sound
I went to high school in Harper woods. Many students lived in the east side neighborhoods that were still good places.
Ever go sledding at Balduck Park?

Many have forgotten this jem by Patti Drew: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU0Vhhzv8Wg. And talk about some mean horns, listen to this awesome tune on the same album: “Tell him”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O5cZ9ZgQP0
Try it. Try recording a song using your sax riff. Either in the intro, or chorus or the bridge or the coda. We at Free Rep. would like to hear it. At least I would. I never did learn guitar past the ‘Every-Good-Boy-Deserves-A-Favor finger placements on an old acoustic from Sears. It was still fun.
A great rocker... Rick Derringer:

Rock and Roll Hootiche Coo...
Played this one too...
You must have grown up listening to CKLW from Ontario, Canada. So did I in Detroit and sometimes Columbus, Ohio.
Listening to the Top 100 Songs of the Year (New Years Eve) used to be a really, really big deal to me while back in Junior High.
I don’t know why it meant so much. But it did.
Great song and accompaniment. Thanks.

Not a false note in any of them, and such a sweet, beautiful voice, she was always right on time. Her backup singers and musicians weren’t bad at all, either.
My all time favorite song!
Kapernick is a racist idiot.

It would not surprise me to hear one day that this lunatic has engaged in some heinous act of terrorism. He strike me as that kind of person.
