Fontella Bass - Rescue Me

submitted by choggie

1 decade 5 years 11 months 1 week ago

- A few years ago a portable jukebox was discovered which belonged to John Lennon in the 1960s. The jukebox contained a tracklist of 40 records - soul, R&B and Rock 'n' Roll - written in Lennon's own handwriting. These are the songs which shaped his musical education and they reveal many of the original sources of inspiration for his later songwriting. -per orig.summitter, youtube-

Wow, you actually can hear how some of the early Beatles stuff could have been strongly influenced by this sort of music, especially with the simple, catchy melodies and harmonies. Great sift.
