Some Sunday Soul


I have posted a couple of tracks previously from Sweet Inspiration, the songs of Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham. It is one of those rare albums that you could post any of the 24 tracks on it, it really is that good. The album is a collection of the key songs they wrote during the 60's and early 70's and showcases the masterful songwriting talents of both men. Today's track features the inimitable voice of Ted Taylor with one of their lesser known tracks, Feed The Flame. Taylor first entered the studio as a member of the Cadets and Jacks in the 50's before going on to record for labels such as Okeh and Ronn in the 60's. If today's track piques your interest there is a nice wee compilation of rare recordings for Ronn Records available that is well worth a listen...
