For your listening pleasure: Selections from RCP 2
I thought it would be a great idea to post some of the songs I'm converting. Every time I do a batch of albums, I will pick the tracks that just stand out. So, here are some tracks for your listening pleasure:
This first track is Ray Charles with the Raelets & Margie Hendrix. I've never heard this song before but it is a pretty good version and it's off of ABC-Paramount. The B-side is "Your Cheatin' Heart" by Hank Williams. It was released in 1962 and I do not really hear this version on the Oldies stations so here you go. Also, I got it for 50 cents! What a bargain for a great song!
The next track is the B-Side of Otis Redding's "Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa (sad song)." He really did die way too young. I often wonder what his music would sound like in the 70s. "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" - one of my all time favorite songs - really was a departure from his earlier recordings but you can only guess if that was reflecting some bigger move or if it was just a one time thing he was trying out. When I lived in Santa Cruz, my roommates and I would sit up on the roof (there was a door there because supposedly the owners were building a balcony) and blast Otis Redding's Greatest Hits, smoke cigarettes, drink beers and watch the boats in the harbor. It was one of those truly great moments that happened pretty frequently living in that small house. So here you go, "Good To Me" by Otis Redding.
