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.

Thanks for this!
Yet another cool number from Joltin' Joe (It's not that one - Ed) and also the Harold Melvin and Dionne Warwick tunes in one zip. Fabulous! Just the ticket as our circuit breaker lockdown is hopefully coming to an end soon. Many thanks for putting it all together. Cheers!
