Soul train
Al Green(e) and the Soul Mates. (1968) This is Reverend Al’s first LP and his first hit song – “Back Up Train”. This is the rare first cover that was re-released in 1972 with a low budget alternate cover.
Al Green would be on my desert island list for sure. Anytime, anywhere I hear an Al Green song, and no matter how often I’ve heard it, I feel at home.
The objects of my obsession
Pinky Tomlin (1907 – 1987), who wrote the 1930’s hit ”The Object of My Affection” toured for more than a decade with his own band, writing along the way such songs as ”The Love Bug Will Bite You if You Don’t Watch Out” and ”If It Wasn’t for the Moon.”

Amigos To The Rescue
Daniel Santos. “Candela!” on Fuentes. Another hot Latin music cover. Lady driver with fire crew.
