Soulman, princesse disco, standards country, prêcheur baptiste, gérante de label, infaillibles déhanchements, king of the teasing soul, Tammy Wynette blackie, orchestrations classieuses, mâle glorieux, ménagère en mal d'émancipation, cuivres et percus altiers, arrangements emprunts de Bacharach... mélangez le tout, obtenez la paire royale Joe Simon et Candi Staton, "Chokin' kind" suivie d' "He called me baby".
Moi je les aurais bien mariés, mais il fût un temps au cours duquel Candi préféra la voyance intime de Clarence Clarter, comment lui en vouloir? Est-ce pour cela que le Joe, bien après Little Richard, en bon confrère d'Al Green, décida de rentrer dans les ordres... Comment le savoir?! Ce qui est sur et certain par contre, c'est qu'en bons chrétiens, en Amérique, vous et moi, là où on ira quand on aura du fric, chaque dimanche rendez-vous à l'église..."I gave you my heart, but you wanted my mind, Oooh yeaeah"

THE CHOKIN' KIND
Joe Simon
"I only meant to love you
Didn't you know it babe
Didn't you know it
Why couldn't you be content
With the love I gave oh yeah
I gave you my heart
But you wanted my mind, oh yeah
Your love scared me to death, girl
Oh it's the chokin kind
That's all it is
You can kill a man
With a bottle of poison or a knife
I know you can
And hurt him more to take his pride
And run his life
Oh it's a shame girl
Whatever you want girl
I surely hope you find, oh yeah
I tell you that hat don't fit my head
Oh, it's the chokin kind
It makes me wanna mmm mmm mmm mmm
Oh yeah, oh listen to me
When you fall in love again girl
Take a tip from me oh yeah
If you don't like the peach don't bite the tree
That's what you better do, honey
Find what you want girl
Keep it, treat it, sweet and kind, oh yeah
Oh let it breathe, don't make it the chokin kind
Oh no, don't break your heart baby
Oh no, I know you love me really I do, honey
I tell you your love scares me to death girl
It's the chokin kind
That's all it is
I got to say it again
It's that old chokin kind"
Hi Fred:
Thanks for replying. Yes, I did finally hear about Miriam Makeba, about 6 days after she passed, and it was through a comment that someone made on a website posting. I was shocked. I never heard it stated on the news, and I watch the news everyday. Don't know how I missed it. The world lost a great singer, and a great freedom fighter. She's with her mom and daughter now. Much more coverage should have been done in reference to her passing and funeral.
I would be very happy if you could find those two songs. "Come on and get it", and "Farther on down the road (you will accompany me)". They are great songs by Joe Simon, and I haven't been able to find them on You Tube at all, and have been looking for them for over a year. If you can't find and list them, then thanks anyway for trying.
I will take a look at your blog for sure.
Take care.
