A CHRISTMAS SELECTION OF MUSIC

For the next week I am putting some Great Christmas Music/Videos on the Blog instead of the usual Mixes!

One of the best versions of the classic Christmas song "White Christmas" has to be the Drifters' recording in 1954, It has Clyde Mcphatter and Bill Pinkney on vocals.

To see Bill Pinkney & the Drifters sing this Live...Press Here

This was featured in the Macauley Culkin film "Home Alone"

Another Great Christmas Song, not exactly Soul Music, is Jose Feliciano's "Feliz Navidad" (Merry Christmas in Spanish)released on his Christmas Album in 1970.
I first heard this Record featured in the Christmas Movie "Surviving Christmas" tarring Ben Affleck and James Gandolfini!

I have included both Live and Studio versions of the song!

Check out both versions, as Jose Feliciano is a great Singer!

THE ISLEY BROTHERS 3+3 part 2

As I said in previous post The Isley Brothers left Motown in late 1960's!

There first Post Motown Album was "Its Our Thing" in early 1969, it contained some Great Tracks including "Its Your Thing" "I know who you're been socking it to" and "Give the women what they want"

This Album was described at the time as "Somewhere Between, James Brown and Sly Stone!

The following Album also released in late 1969 and called "The Brothers: Isley" the Singles were " Was It Good To You" and "I Turned You On" but neither was very successful!

The Best Track on the Album Was " Blacker The Berrie"

This was the First Album that really included the 3+3, but younger Brothers, Marvin & Ernie and Cousin, Chris Jasper, were only in the background, so they didnt get alot of credit on the Album notes!

1970 saw the release of " Get Into Something" the First Album to include the 3+3 Brothers!

The opening and Title Track of the Album was over 7 minutes long , unusual for that time!

This was also the first Album which The Isleys tackled Social Issues with their Music.

1971 saw the release of " Giving It Back" it contained several Cover Versions of Songs including "Cold Bologna" a Bill Withers Song and the Best Track on Album "Love The One You're With" a Stephen Stills song!

Isley Brothers Music!

CHRISTMAS 1978

Christmas 1978, soon came around, as I said in previous post Nathan was gradually let out of Hospital on a more regular basis, firstly a few times a week and back at the night, then after a while we had him home for a few days at a time, he was still being Sick a lot of the time, so he was still being kept well looked after by the Hospital Doctors!

Nathan was still on Babies bottled food, but Susan remembers Nathans first taste of babies proper Food!

The Doctors said he could try some Heinz Chocolate Pudding, this was over the Christmas period, he loved it but as usual he brought it all back up, so he was straight back on the babies milk again!

I remember around Christmas week I think it was , we went over to Susans Mum one evening on the Bus, to visit her Parents, while we were over there it started to Snow quite heavy and lasted for ages, so as it got time to leave, Susan was offered to stay the night there with Nathan!

This was great, but unfournately it didnt include me, so I had to get the Bus back home on my own!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
