Please enjoy, from 1966, three minutes of badass. This is Jesse Osborne recording as Oz & The Sperlings and an original tune with a familiar title.
I first heard this on a 2004 U.K. compilation titled "Moanin', Groanin', Cryin': A Galaxy Of Soul & R&B." There are a number of winners on that CD, but this one stayed with me, and it should put a much needed pep in your step.
That is a gas! I liked SUV and Matumbi’s The Man In Me, too. Skatalites are essential.

Good way to start the day. Any chance you could post more (all?) of that compilation? (I searched "moanin', groanin'" on Spotify and got some, uh. . . unusual results.)
ReplyDeleteI will post a zip of the comp here in the comments. Check back in an hour or so.
DeleteCut and paste this for the whole comp:

Hmm... won't download. File name shows up in my download folder but it seems to be nothing in it. Any tech-types out there have a suggestion?
ReplyDeleteWhen I cut and paste that address into my browser (using Firefox on a Mac) a window pops up to download. No issues on this end. Could it be your browser?
DeleteThanks, Sal! Downloaded for me in 20 seconds with Firefox/Windows .

Managed to download with Chrome but message says it will be several hours to unzip so clearly something isn't happening for me. Thanks for trying, Sal.
ReplyDeleteSeveral other good Oz songs on YT.

ReplyDeleteMany thanks, huge comp.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comp download!
ReplyDeleteYeah, thanks for that download! It sounds dee-licious, especially based on the song you posted.

Hi Sal, I hope you can answer this: There's a song on this comp, Buddy Conner's 'Half-Way Loving', that I swear I have as an instro. Does that ring a bell, and, if so, might you know it's title? This is driving me crazy! Maybe I'm confused, because I already had 'HWL', so maybe I'm just familiar with the number from that, and not 'cause I've heard or have an instro version.

C, I listened and it doesn't ring a bell as an instrumental. For a second, I thought I heard "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy," but I guess that's only in style and not actual melody. If you figure it out, please let me know.
DeleteExcellent! Thanks for the download, it worked fine on Mac/Safari.
