What are you listening to?

[Lucy Hamilton]

Dinah Washington "Baby Get Lost" released in 1949 on 10" 78 RPM on Mercury Records, the B Side is "Long John Blues"

Nick Drake "Strange Meeting II" recorded in 1968 at Far Leys, Tanworth-in-Arden, one of Nick Drake's Home Demos, first released in 1987 on the album of Outtakes and Home Demos "Time Of No Reply" on Hannibal Records.

Aretha not too good in health, hopefully she recovers.

Aretha Franklin "The Thrill Is Gone (From Yesterday's Kiss)" from Aretha Franklin's 19th album "Spirit In The Dark" released in 1970 on Atlantic Records.

Aretha Franklin "Drown In My Own Tears" from Aretha Franklin's 11th album "I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You" released in 1967 on Atlantic Records.

Well Aretha Franklin has been called Home to Our Lord's Beautiful Kingdom, Rest In Peace.

I have been thinking today what two songs would be the best appropriate to choose in this situation, so after a lot of thought I decide to choose the below songs.

Aretha Franklin "Precious Lord (Take My Hand) Part I and Part II" released in 1960 on 7" on Checker Records, "Precious Lord (Take My Hand) Part II is on the B Side. This is the same recording that appeared on Aretha Franklin's first album "Songs Of Faith" released in 1956 on J-V-B Records, the recording was made when she was 14 years in age at The New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan which the Pastor since 1946 was The Rev. C. L. Franklin (father), like with all recordings in these American Black Churches the congregation are shouting at random, almost as if having out of body experience.



Aretha Franklin "Today I Sing The Blues" from the album "Aretha: With The Ray Bryant Combo" released in 1961 on Columbia Records.


I have in this thread already last year had an Aretha Franklin rant, that basically that everything from "Songs Of Faith" in 1956 until "Spirit In The Dark" in 1971 is FANTASTIC, ALL the Columbia albums and 98% of the Atlantic albums, but when she left Atlantic and made the TERRIBLE decision NOT to go back to Columbia as she could but instead went to one of the CRAPPEST record labels EVER created Arista EVERYTHING musically, creatively went downhill and she went Pop, so as with these things I in my mind IGNORE this as though she STOPPED recording after "Spirit In The Dark"

Let us have some Rev. C. L. Franklin also, GREAT HAPPENINGS on HIS records, some Sermons he sings, some Sermons he rants, of course the Ranting Sermons are the best, full of uplift and Hellfire all at the same time, again the Congregation very active and hyper, they are like his Backing Band, so many of his recordings to choose from but I have always thought that "Satan Goes To A Prayer Meeting" has EVERYTHING ANYONE would EVER need or want from a Rev. C. L. Franklin Sermon, it's EPIC and MEGA.

I THINK this was recorded in 1954 or 1955, it was recorded at The New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan, for some reason it was never released until 1975, bizarro as the Rev. C. L. Franklin in the 1950s was recording records of Gospel Songs and Sermons for Chess Records so why they never released it not sure, perhaps as Satan is frequently mentioned they might have thought it too dangerous to release or whatever.

The Rev. C. L. Franklin "Satan Goes To A Prayer Meeting" from the album "Satan Goes To A Prayer Meeting" released in 1975 on Jewel Records. It features the album four tracks including two short songs "Father I Stretch My Hands To Thee" (Track I Side I) and "I Will Trust In The Lord" (Track II Side II) "Satan Goes To A Prayer Meeting Part I" (Track II Side I) and "Satan Goes To A Prayer Meeting Part II" (Track I Side II) the below is Part I and Part II together without pause.

My very favourite of these old Black Preachers is the Reverend A. W. Dix.

The Reverend A. W. Nix recorded 54 sermons and Gospel songs in the 1920s and early 1930s, which at the time were released on 78 RPM on Vocalion Records, which from 1925-1930 was a subsidiary of Brunswick Records.

The 1927-1928 sermons were compiled into an album "Rev. A. W. Nix: Complete Recorded Works in Chronological Order (1927–1928)" released in 1995 on Document Records and I recommend this, it's ALL amazing stuff, it's mesmerising for it's passion and hysteria.

The Reverend A. W. Nix "The Black Diamond Express To Hell Part I and Part II" accompanied by his Congregation and recorded on April 23rd, 1927, the passion and hysteria continues to build throughout Part I and Part II until the Reverend A. W. Nix and his Congregation are ALL having some out of body experience, they definately sound like they are Out There.
