There was a time when music was music to the soul!

Janis Joplin has been to this day the greatest woman rock performer. No one has equaled her voice, interpretation, and technique. She is and will ever be irreplaceable.

Lyrics:
Maybe
Oh, if I could pray, and I try, dear
You might come back home, home to me

Maybe
Whoa, if I could ever hold your little hand
Ooh, you might understand

Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah

Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, dear
I guess I might have done something wrong
Honey, I’d be glad to admit it
Ooh, come on home to me

Honey, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah

Well, I know that it just doesn’t ever seem to matter, babe
Ooh, honey, when I go out or what I’m trying to do
Can’t you see I’m still left here
And I’m all alone in needing you

Please, please, please, please
Oh, won’t you reconsider, babe
Now come on, I said come back
Won’t you come back to me

Maybe, dear, oh maybe, maybe, maybe
Let me help you show me how
Honey, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe
Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah
Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah

This is when the music was fabulous! Not enough is said about Dicky Betts’s vocal! He is one smooth southern drink of country blues!

R.I.P. Dickie Betts – one of the best who wrote some of our favorite songs, including Blue Sky. Hard to believe this was over 40 years ago!

Lyrics:
Walk along the river, sweet lullaby
It just keep on flowing
They don’t worry ’bout where it’s goin’, no, no
Don’t fly mister blue bird
I’m just walking down the road
Early morning sunshine tell me all I need to know

You’re my blue sky, you’re my sunny day
Lord, you know it makes me high
When you turn your love my way
Turn your love my way, yeah

Good ol’ Sunday morning bells are ringing everywhere
Goin’ to Carolina, it won’t be long and I’ll be there

You’re my blue sky, you’re my sunny day
Lord, you know it makes me high
When you turn your love my way
Turn your love my way, yeah, yeah

This is a gem recording. Not everyone got the pleasure to see them live. Thanks to the person who put this out for the young world to see.

“Don’t You Lie to Me” (sometimes called “I Get Evil”) is a blues song recorded by Tampa Red in 1940. It became a standard of the blues, with recordings by various artists. The song was also interpreted by rock and roll pioneers Fats Domino and Chuck Berry.

Original “Don’t You Lie to Me” was recorded by Tampa Red approximately mid-point in his prolific recording career, representing the transition from his earlier hokum recordings to his later early Chicago-blues combo style. This was the same period when he began playing the electric guitar and recorded his best-known blues classics, including “It Hurts Me Too”, “Love with a Feeling”, and “Anna Lou Blues”, the B-side of “Don’t You Lie to Me”

In 1962, Albert King recorded “Don’t You Lie to Me” as “I Get Evil” (Bobbin 135), which was included on his first album The Big Blues. King’s version uses an Afro-Cuban style rhythm, which he would later use for his 1967 hit “Crosscut Saw”. Later, King with Stevie Ray Vaughan recorded it live for television in 1983, which is included on Albert King with Stevie Ray Vaughan in Session. In 1977, B.B. King recorded the song for his King Size album. Gary Moore recorded it using both titles “Don’t You Lie to Me (I Get Evil)”, which follows Albert King’s version, for his 1992 After Hours album.

Lyrics:
There’s two kind of people
I just can’t stand
Evil hearted woman
And a lyin’ man

Don’t you lie to me
Now don’t you lie to me
Because it makes me mad
Evil as a man can be

When you told me
That you loved me long time ago
The fellow that you got
You don’t want him no more

Don’t you lie to me
Now don’t you lie to me
Because it makes me mad
I get evil as a man can be

You told me
That you loved me long time ago
The fellow that you have
You don’t want him no more

Don’t you lie to me
Now don’t you lie to me
Because it makes me mad
I get evil as a man can be

Don’t you lie to me
Don’t you lie to me
No, don’t lie to me
Now don’t you lie to me
Because it makes me mad
I get evil as a man can be

Two of the very best that thankfully have been with us for a long time. They meld so well together. The arrangement and band were absolutely flawless and the song selection was so damn good!

What a pleasure listen to this great couple Jimmy Vaughan and Bonnie! NO one can pick strings like Jimmy does! Always have loved Bonnie’s voice but in this one was surprised by her guitar work. Not one thing I’d change. Well done by both!

Lyrics:
You think I only want your money
You think I’m handing you a line
But I’m ready, willing and able
To give my love/lovin’ all the time
You don’t have to thank me for my lovin’
Because the pleasure’s all mine

I go for the little gifts you buy me
So sweet, lovin’ and kind
Love I know you won’t deny me
Cos a love like yours is hard to find
You won’t have to beg me for my lovin’
Because the pleasure’s all mine

Baby I know where you’re standing
And I’ll come when you call
I want your love not your money
Cos money can’t buy my love at all
Break

You know what I like that’s why I love you
And if you have never have a dime
You’re still my sweet, fine, healthy baby
And I will love you all the time
You won’t have to beg me for my lovin’
Cos the pleasure it all mine

The energy at 54 is insane! This was after performing already for an hr and 30 minutes!

There will never be another Tina. Nobody could touch her. A class act in a league of her own.

Rest in eternal heavenly peace sweet Lady.

Lyrics:
She’s got legs
She knows how to use them
She never begs
She knows how to choose them

She’s holdin’ legs
Wonderin’ how to feel them
Would you get behind them?
If you could only find them

She’s my baby
She’s my baby

Yeah, it’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
Alright

She’s got hair
Down to her fanny
She’s kinda jet set
Try undo her panties

Every time she’s dancin’
She knows what to do
Everybody wants to see
To see if she can use it

She’s so fine
She’s all mine

Girl, you got it right
So right
You got it right
Alright

She’s got legs
She knows how to use them
She never begs
She knows how to choose them

She’s got a dime
All of the time
Stays out at night movin’
Through time

Oh, I want her
So, I got to have her

That girl’s alright
She’s alright
She’s alright
Right, right, right, girl
Baby, alright

You lose faith in humanity and then, you hear and see this. Pure beauty and love through the ears!

Lyrics:
What in the world’s come all over me?
I ain’t got a chance of one in three
Ain’t got no rap, ain’t got no line
But if you’ll give me just a minute I’ll be feelin’ fine

I am the one who can fade the heat
The one they all say just can’t be beat
I’ll shoot it to you straight and look you in the eye
So give me just a minute and I’ll tell you why

I’m a rough boy, I’m a rough boy

I don’t care how you look at me
Because I’m the one and you will see
We can make it work, we can make it by
So give me one more minute and I’ll tell you why

I’m a rough boy, I’m a rough boy

Let’s be honest: no one will ever, EVER be able to perform like Stevie did that night at El Mocambo. He is just unique!

Can we take a second to appreciate how cool he looks? That hat, the outfit, he’s killing it!

Of the various covers of “Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) by Jimi Hendrix,” none are as beautiful and amazing as Stevie Ray Vaughan’s. Vaughan recorded this lovely track with his band Double Trouble for their 1984 From the Album “Couldn’t Stand The Weather”

Lyrics:
Well, I’m standing next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I’m standing next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand
Pick up all the pieces, make an island
Might even raise a little sand

‘Cause I’m a voodoo child yeah
Lord knows I’m a voodoo child

I didn’t mean to take up all your sweet time
Give it right back to you one of these days
I didn’t mean to take up all your sweet time
Give it right back to you the rest of my days

I won’t see you again in this world
See you in the next one, don’t be late
Don’t be late

‘Cause I’m a voodoo child yeah
Lord knows I’m a voodoo child

RIP John Belushi and John Candy, two of the greatest comedians in one great movie! Just freaking brilliant. Great clip from multi-talented performers!

It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark out, and we’re wearing sunglasses. HIT IT!

The Blues Brothers is a classic movie, a slight misfire at the box office on the original release, but a film that gained a substantial cult following via cinema re-releases and especially home viewing. It’s a riotous mix of comedy, musical and serial car crash (literally) with a phenomenal number of legendary musical cameos: Ray Charles, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and John Lee Hooker included.

Lyrics:
Come on, oh baby, don’t you wanna go?
Come on, oh baby, don’t you wanna go
Back to that same old place
Sweet home Chicago

Come on, baby, don’t you wanna go?
Hida-hey, baby, don’t you wanna go?
Back to that same old place
Oh, sweet home Chicago

Well, one and one is two
Six and two is eight
Come on, baby, don’t you make me late

Hida-hey, baby, don’t you wanna go?
Back to that same old place
Sweet home Chicago

Come on, baby, don’t you wanna go?
Oh, come on, baby, don’t you wanna go?
Back to that same old place
Sweet home Chicago

Six and three is nine
Nine and nine is eighteen
Look there, brother, baby and
You’ll see what I seen

Hida-hey, baby, don’t you wanna go?
Back to that same old place
Sweet home Chicago

Oh, come on, baby, don’t you wanna go
Come on, baby, don’t you wanna go?
Back to that same old place
My sweet home Chicago

Definitely one of the finest, most superior quality rock and roll tunes ever composed and recorded. Never gets old. I’ve been listening to them since high school when this album came out. They definitely passed the test of time.

Lyrics:
People say that you’re no good
But I wouldn’t cut you loose, baby, if I could
I seem to stay down on the ground
Baby, I’m too far gone to turn around

Oh, if only you would make up your mind
Take me where you go, you’re leaving me [Incomprehensible] behind

Woman, you got those come and go blues
Yes, you do
Lord, you got those come and go blues
Yes, you do
And oh, you got me feelin’ like a fool
Just like a fool

‘Round and ’round, ’round we go
Don’t ask me why I stay here, I don’t know
Well, maybe I’m a fool to care
Without your sweet love, baby, I would be nowhere

So here I’ll stay, locked in your web
Till that day I might find someone else
But I don’t know just when that would be
But I don’t know, I can’t say ’cause I can’t see

Sail on, my darlin’, sail on
You just go your way and I’ll go mine
But it seems to me that I once heard
That everything is finally cured by time

Yes, sail on, my darlin’, sail on
And I’ll just wish you good luck
And I’ll see you when you come next time

Lord, you got those come and go blues
Yes, you do
Woman, you got those come and go blues
I swear you do
Oh and you got me feelin’ like a fool
Just like a fool
