Santa left a fun-filled stocking. Great accompaniment to kitchen cleanup duty!
Glad it all helped. Filled my ears throughout the morning and afternoon. Love Teddy's "Joy." Bless the man.
Paschal, I didn't know Mr. Pendergrass by name but the Joy song definitely rings a bell, it's so addictive.
Feeling very soulful lately, are we?
As for Daryl and Oates, they remind me of 80s weekend afternoons, when my Mum played their tapes in the car. hehe
DM: Teddy was one of the soul gods, Philly-sound (as were Hall and Oates), back in the late 70s, early 80s, Maxwell-sexy. At age 32 (in 1982), he suffered a spinal cord injury that paralyzed him for life. Teddy was unabashedly sexy, while contemporary Al Green always had more angst - and maybe a bit more self-deprecating humor - in his vocal lovemaking. Teddy knew he was a god and made no excuses for it. I played "Joy" repeatedly the day I posted it, as infectious as Duffy's "Stepping Stone."
Good to know! :)
