Gloria Scott — “Just As Long As We’re Together”

This song has Barry White written all over it — and I absolutely love that fact. He deserves a VIP seat in heaven just for making a lot of people happy with his music. His tunes simply expressed all that is good in being young, happy, and always in love.
Gloria Scott’s voice perfectly matched those characteristics. Oh what a wonderful, wonderful time that was!

Jerry Williams aka Swamp Dog — “Shipwrecked”

Ann Peebles — “I Needed Somebody” and "Doctor Love Power"

Ann Peebles is one of my all time favorite female singers. Unfortunately, her material is badly under represented on old school radio shows which, in my opinion, favor the agreed upon greats of soul music.
And here comes my absolute favorite piece by her. Everything — and I mean everything — in this piece is fantastic: the voice, the beat, the musicians. It is the perfect mood mender!
