Trouble Boys - Thin Lizzy
You Can Have Him- Dionne Warwick
Somebody In The World For You- The Mighty Hannibal
Tell The World How I Feel About You- Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes
Right And Wrong- Joe Jackson
Marwa Blues- George Harrison
Ship Of Fools- World Party
Trouble Boys- Thin Lizzy
This classic Dave Edmunds tune seems tailored-made for Phil & The Boys. I have a great memory of buying this picture sleeve single at Zig Zag Records in Sheepshead Bay and an even greater memory of buying it again just last week from a dealer in England.
You Can Have Him- Dionne Warwick
I was listening to Rhino's excellent Dionne Anthology and this b-side came on. I hadn't been familiar with it, though I knew this wasn't the first time I played this Rhino comp. It quickly became a favorite thanks to that cool and crazy drum beat.
Somebody In The World For You- The Mighty Hannibal
James T. Shaw, aka King Hannibal, aka The Mighty Hannibal wasn't one of your go-to soul artists, flying under the radar for most of his career. But the "Hannibalism" compilation on Norton Records is pound for pound, one of the greatest collections of R&B, funk and soul ever assmembled. If you dig this track, I highly recommend tracking down that Norton set.
Tell The World How I Feel About You- Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes
I picked up a number of new record collections over the last two weeks. (Lots of it available now in the Discogs shop. Just click on the "Records For Sale" link on the right. 😋 But I digress.) One of the collections had an instant Harold Melvin/Teddy Pendergrass collection, which came at the right time since I was still thinking about that Teddy documentary that aired on Showtime. Good film, and this, a great song.
Right And Wrong- Joe Jackson
Residual effects of the Joe Jackson binge. One of my favorite intros!
Marwa Blues- George Harrison
Wesley Stace, aka John Wesley Harding, put together a Spotify playlist of later George Harrison material. I was happy to see this track made it. Just a lovely piece of music.
Ship Of Fools- World Party
This was a happy accident. I had been listening to the Dead's "Mars Hotel" and thought I'd share "Ship of Fools." I put the World Party track in the Song Of The Day folder instead and decided it was a better way to close things out.
