🎧 Hotter than the summer of 1973 itself, #Syliva's "Pillow Talk" was a top-selling single. Her lovemaking to the mic preceded #DonnaSummer's "Love to Love You" by 2 years.
#SylviaRobinson wrote it with #MichaelBurton, #AlGreen passed because "religion" and she recorded it herself.
Try to imagine this song playing on any conglomerate-owned radio station today. Never happen.

Is it bad that I thought Al Green was dead?
If Al Green wrote ‘Let’s Stab Together’ instead

Day 28: A song by an artist whose voice you love
"Daylight & Darkness" - #SmokeyRobinson (1978)
I admit it: I'm a sucker for falsetto. #CurtisMayfield, #AlGreen, #JuniorMurvin, #DAngelo, sometimes even frickin' #DarylHall for christ's sake - when these guys go up high into their head voices, I'm right there with them. Smokey, of course, is their king. And when he's singing such a beautiful, bittersweet song as this one, there's just no stopping him.

grootste hits aller tijden staat.
De groep is verantwoordelijk voor wat de #StaxSound zal genoemd worden.
Vele bands zullen proberen hun sound na te bootsen.
Ze waren ook één van de raciaal geïntegreerde bands, met twee witte en twee zwarte leden, in de sixties ongezien.
Vanaf 1970 verlaten ze Stax als deel van de sessiegroep #MarKeys, met als laatste uitgave het album #MeltingPot.
Al werkt dan nog met #AlGreen oa Let's Stay Together, #RodStewart enz'
Op 1 oktober 1975 wordt hij vermoord.
