Wilson Pickett "Midnight Hour"1965 💥
Im gonna wait til the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
Im gonna wait til the midnight hour
When there's no one else around
Im gonna take you, girl, and hold you
And do all the things I told you
Happy Heavenly Birthday to the legendary Melvin Franklin of The Temptations (born October 12, 1942 – passed February 23, 1995)! 🕊️✨
As one of the founding members of the "Classic Five" lineup, his deep, booming signature bass voice became the unmistakable heartbeat of Motown. To celebrate his incredible legacy, I'm playing their timeless, definitive masterpiece "My Girl" from 1964!
Rufus Thomas "Walking The Dog" 1963💥💥
Written by American singer Rufus Thomas, released on the Stax Records label.

"Heat Wave". Martha and the Vandellas (1963)💥
Whenever I'm with him
Something inside starts to burning
And I'm filled with desire
Could it be the devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?
Remembering the great Thelonious Monk who was born on this day in 1917.
Here, he is performing “Round Midnight” with Charlie Rouse on saxophone, Larry Gales on bass and Ben Riley on drums live in France, 1966.
Remembering the great Art Blakey who was born on this day in 1919. He was known for his brilliant playing and for the establishment of The Jazz Messengers, a band that he led for 35 years.
Here, he is performing a drum solo on “Blues March” by Benny Golson in France, 1974.
55 years ago, Aretha Franklin's "Rock Steady" was released as a single.
Bernard Purdie has said that during the recording Aretha’s lyric sheet slid off the piano. She told the band to keep going so she could pick it up. That stretch of music stayed in.
Happy birthday to Art Blakey, born on this day in 1919!
Drummer and bandleader of the Jazz Messengers, the long-running hard-bop group that turned young sidemen into leaders. His press rolls and explosive hi-hat defined the sound.
James Brown. "Please please please" 1964💥💥
Features Brown's cape routine, where he dramatically collapses and revives.
This routine famously helped him upstage the Rolling Stones at the 1964 T.A.M.I. Awards Show.
