Latimore, the soul-blues singer behind the 1974 number-one hit "Let's Straighten It Out," has died at 86. A 2017 Blues Hall of Fame inductee, his five-decade career helped define the sound of Southern soul music. https://t.co/WOA3XRdg38

"It's the way you play that makes it . . . Play like you play. Play like you think, and then you got it, if you're going to get it. And whatever you get, that's you, so that's your story"
Remembering the one and only Count Basie, born OTD 1904 in Redbank, New Jersey.

@historiasblues Do you have my birthday? Oct.3 1945

[Traces of Texas @TracesofTexas]

I once heard an interview with Flaco Jimenez in which he said Esteban "Steve" Jordan, shown here, was the best accordionist in the world. Esteban, who was born in Elsa, Texas and blinded in one eye at birth when a nurse used the wrong eye drops, was one of the most innovative musicians Texas ever produced, a virtuouso who eventually mastered dozens of instruments. Inspired by conjunto pioneer Valerio Longoria, Jordan revolutionized the accordion by blending traditional conjunto and Tejano music with rock, blues, jazz, country, Cajun, zydeco, and even electronic effects, earning the nickname "the Jimi Hendrix of the accordion," though he disliked the comparison. Esteban remained a fiercely independent musical pioneer whose influence extended far beyond Tex-Mex music, continuing to perform in San Antonio until his death from liver cancer in 2010.

The Greatest Ever!

[Lewis Cowdrey @Texasbluesme]

I like all the early ballads. I Don't Mind, Bewildered, Prisioner!! I even like the Vegas type standards. Just a wonderful singer

[Jim Clark @tapeman1983]

I wanted to tell the six of you who see this that lately James Brown has been in heavy rotation. Before mastering syncopated funk, JB was a helluva soul singer. Cold Sweat Parts 1 & 2 reigns for me. Do you have a favorite song by Mr Dyn-o-mite?
