I always loved this quote from Evan Eisenberg's The Recording Angel, a book I reread every few years. Eisenberg says that Jerry Wexler, "took Aretha Franklin from hapless Columbia, set her down in a Muscle Shoals studio, and tossed her 'I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)' as one tosses a lighted match at petroleum." appropriate description.....

Agreed.....

thnx for the hint Larry, have to give this a try.......

these both are IMO indispensable recordings.......

spot on.......suprisingly this was not already featured earlier....... That's not surreal, that's Saskatchewan! most likely both.......

Love this, it's on one o' them X,000 Volts of Stax things I have, no doubt partially 'cause I been there, felt that... Your`re right, this one is from the "3000 Volts of Stax" compilation and there is another great alternative take featured on V.A "Don`t disturb my Soul - Gospel of Chalice" (Ace) released in1991.....and agreed, this recording never fails to move me....a close second from the same source IMO is "Assassination"...
