"Gypsy Woman" - The Impreesions. This is the original version long before Mr Hyland got a hold of it. Written by the immortal Curtis Mayfield. It's the first '45 we ever got in the house".

"I know you got Soul" - James Brown/Bobby Byrd - Funky as 9 cans of shaving powder and we do this song today.

"Them Changes" - Buddy Miles - Same as above.

I could go on and on. I'm just lucky because if I REALLY love a song, I sometimes get to play and sing it!!!!

speaking of shaving powder....I remember those majic shave moments.....talk about STANK!!!!!!

back to topic, I love every song you mentioned in its original form. I hate it when some body tries to do a remake of the good stuff. Most of the time they just mess it up. Its hard to improve on a classic original. Can you believe bands are trying to remake "Trouble Man" by Marvin Gaye??? What in the heck are they thinking?!?!?!

Trouble Man by Marvin Gaye - YouTube

I cant imagine any body messing around with "All day Music" by War. You cant improve on that! And I have to many memories from back in the day with that song blasting on the box.....man oh man.
