This is Mary Clayton's vocal on “Gimme Shelter” stripped completely naked. No music. Just her.
That crack in her voice was not planned. It was real. The Stones kept it.
Maaan, Barry White didn't fk around man. His arrangements were butter and funky at the same damn time. Y'all better come on in
"Midnight Groove"
The Love Unlimited
"The Bottle" by Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson, 1974.
Off Winter in America on Strata-East. Brian Jackson's flute carries this one, a Caribbean groove that became an underground hit and has been sampled over 70 times since.
Carl Weathers had never boxed before Rocky (1976) and during his audition, Weathers was asked to spar and read lines with the screenwriter (Sylvester Stallone), whom he didn't realize was also the star of the film. After hearing the writer's mumbling, Weathers told:
“If you get me a real actor, I could do a much better job,” which impressed Sylvester Stallone enough to cast him.
Instead of being offended, Sylvester Stallone was instantly convinced that Weathers had the exact "arrogance" and "trash-talking" energy needed for the flamboyant heavyweight champion Apollo Creed.
After his passing in 2024, Stallone said, “I never could have accomplished what we did with Rocky without him.”
After Weathers passed in 2024, Stallone posted a video standing in front of a painting from one of their scenes together. "I never could have accomplished what we did with Rocky without him."
