Ms. Jody - "Still Strokin'"

I love, love, love Ms. Jody.  She's great in concert and her records are fabulous.  Ok, with that being said, this is an awesome song and it represents the come back that southern soul is making.  She starts out by telling a friend that she must have been on the moon because our music is still here.  Ms. Jody, you are so right!  Southern soul is going strong and, as she says, we're still strokin'!  We're still there and the new music is better than ever. More and more people are listening to it and the internet definitely increases that number.  This blog is even being read by interested soul southern fans from all over the world!  Still Strokin' is a great song from Ms. Jody's latest CD - I think this album is one of her best.

Boy, you must have been on the moon somewhere

Cause our kind of music is still here

And it ain’t going nowhere

You say you heard it’s not around

But you can find it in the cities and even in the small towns

You can’t believe what some folks say

It’s still here, it ain’t going away

You know I wouldn’t tell you nothing wrong

Good soul music it sho ain’t gone

Chorus

Cause Clarence Carter's still stroking

And Bobby Rush is still wearing it out

Theodis Ealey is still standing up in it

And Ms. Jody is still in the house

And Mel Waiters still got his whiskey

And Bobby Womack, still looking for a love

And Denise says that she’s still trapped ya’ll

And Sheba just keeps on backing it up

You say you heard that it’s all over now

But even after all these years

We ain’t stroked out

What we started just can’t be stopped

The music keeps on going

And we're gonna bop till we drop

I told my friend to give it a try

Now she won’t stop till the day she dies

It’s more fun than you’ll ever get

We’ve been doing it for years and we ain’t through yet

Chorus

Still strokin'

We’re still strokin'

We're still strokin'

We're still strokin'

If you can still make it do what it do

If you’re missing out you can’t blame nobody but you

It ain’t no excuse for sitting home alone

When you could still be out there getting it on

Chorus

Southern soul is still strokin'!!!
Enjoy!
