Everything old is new again...especially including a tendency to the totally-controlled middle, in thrall to the managers/ execs/ programmers, you know, those who shape careers. American pop just before the Beatles and Stones blew it apart, anyone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNuX7bs2qAM << I actually like this harmonizing by these high-style sisters but how much of this did they shape? Another? Sure.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0kd-w7Xwd8 << You know how you escaped this pop-pap trap? "Race music" is how--Amos Milburn and his ilk, is how: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0rkwIPQPYo << From the magnificent Aladdin Sessions CD (BTW, that cover picture? If Mr.Milburn et cie.even expressed a thought, the "party" would've been a lynch mob. Talk about deceitful, cynical attempt to appeal to a, shall we say, "cross-over" audience! Lawsa mercy, child!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GvfIx_-Xm4 << this'll get anybody's blood pumping--imagine yourself an Eisenhower-era Cauc kid coming on this stuff...
