The "smexy" in this one is on the trite side, but still... you can't go wrong with Z.Z. Hill (1935-1984) singing "Second Chance."

Though it's less well known than the other parts of the El Paso trilogy, this one is my favorite part.

But I'm not that cool.

Hey, the key to all coolness in the known universe is contained here.
It has Percy Mayfield singing "I Don't Want To Be President," and Ted Taylor singing the best-ever version of Mayfield's "River's Invitation." I was hoping to find that track on YouTube, but I came up empty.

Groovy stuff! That's actually right up my alley!

Oh, I love this thread!! It took me days to get through it! In 1978 or so, I bought a 12" single called "What A Difference A Day Makes" by a R&B singer named Esther Phillips. I was only 12 years old, so I had no idea it was a cover of a classic Dinah Washington hit, nor did I know that Esther had been around since the early 60s. What I did know was that this lady's voice cut right through me and that she was possibly even more miserable than I was. Her cover of Gil Scott-Heron's Misery still wrecks me.

Oh, joy!! I found her version of What A Diff"rence A Day Makes too! It was actually a disco hit here in the NYC area and got loads of airplay!! Her voice is raw & ragged from years of heroin abuse, but I remember clearly how it spoke to me as a lonely child, and let me know that one day I'd be a lot happier.

Yep, and here's another classic rocker from the same Scottish lads . . . one that makes you want to pick up a guitar (or a voice synthesizer).

So I'm a lot more familiar with his son's work, but I always feel like I ought to listen to more Tim Buckley.
