Wilson Meadows - "I Wanna Get Witcha Baby"

I think this is good southern soul, house party music and it's taken from Wilson Meadow's 2008 "Transformation" CD.  I've been listening him since "Still My Love."

Bobby "Blue" Bland - "This Time I'm Gone For Good"

Now this is what you call the blues.  Bobby just couldn't stay with his woman any longer but always kept going back to her.  You know how it is - you know that you need to leave but you end up staying with someone who just isn't good for you.  He's letting her to know that this time he's gone for good.

I should have stayed gone when I left before
Cause you do me wrong when we’re together
But I keep coming back oh Lord for more
And when I leave this time oh Lord
Make sure it’s understood that this time I’m gone for good

Many times I’ve left you
But I couldn’t stay away too long
Thank God for the strength that he gave to me
To leave home and still be strong
When I leave this time, oh Lord
Make sure it’s understood that this time I’m gone for good

It’s been warm outside but for me, but for me there’s been no sunshine
So hard for me to leave you but I finally made up my mind
But when I leave this time, oh Lord
Make sure it’s understood that this time I’m gone for good

This time baby, Lord
I’m not gonna let you worry me no more
And this time baby
Don’t even say nothing to me, woman

Oh Lord, bye bye baby…

Bobby "Blue" Bland - "Angel"

The legendary Bobby "Blue" Bland is such an amazing part of our musical history.  He passed in 2013 but his music is timeless and will live with us forever.  Here's "Angel," a song from his 1986 "After All" album; it's a simple but beautiful love song.  He tells this girl he's seeing for the first time just how beautiful she is, how everything about her is exciting, how he's fallen in love with a queen, and that it's like falling in love with a dream. Wow, how would you feel if someone sang these words to you???

Pardon me lady, I don't mean to stare
You're the prettiest woman
That I've ever seen anywhere
Where are your wings?
Did you leave them up above?
And with an angel, I've fallen in love

You are so beautiful to me
And everything about you is so exciting
You’re the kind of lady that a blind man dreams of
And with an angel, I've fallen in love

Chorus
I've fallen in love with you angel
I've fallen in love with a queen
I've fallen in love with you angel
It’s like falling in love with a dream

Please, please, please lady
Please don’t walk away
There’s something I want you to know
Please let me finish what I have to say
You’re the perfect example
Of what beauty is made of
And with you angel, I've fallen in love

Chorus

Simply beautiful

Simone De - "What's Going On"

Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" has been beautifully done by Simone De. A native of Mobile, Alabama, he has emerged as one of the great artists from the Gulf coast.  I'm looking forward to so much more coming from this fabulous man.
