Posted By Soultaker

I had the honor of contributing to Larry Grogan's Funky 16 Corners 2015 Allnighter/Pledge Drive to help keep his site up and running. Larry is one of the most knowledgeable people when it comes to Funk and Soul. The site is full of information and also has a archive for his weekly radio shows. So head on over to his site and check out all the other mixes along with this one I present here for this years drive. If you feel so incline to help out he has a button for donations and links for taking the mixes on the go.

J. Blackfoot -- "Taxi" and "I'm Just A Fool For You"

J. Blackfoot used to be the lead singer of the Soul Children. He started out with the Bar-Kays in late 60s when he was introduced by one James Alexander of JEA RightNow Records to Isaac Hayes and David Porter.

Hayes and Porter later created The Soul Children, one of STAX's crossover success stories, where J. Blackfoot was the lead singer.

James Alexander later described Blackfoot's voice as having been "matured far beyond his years."I could not have said it better. As a matter of fact, it reminded me a bit of the great Bobby Womack's voice, who, himself started out with an aged voice as a young man.

J. Blackfoot's career spanned four decades, and "Taxi" is one of his solo hits.
He died 2011, aged 65, in Memphis.




Here's another little gem: J. Blackfoot and Lenny Williams "I'm Just A Fool For You."

Happy Father's Day

I hope all the fathers have a wonderful day today.

Sitting here on my patio -- thank goodness it's covered -- watching the rain pouring down. And I get that rainy night feeling ... So, here is my favorite version of "Rainy Night In Georgia."
