Ready Made Family - Creative Funk Ready Made Family - Creative Funk
Posted by: DannyLinden

Video duration: 236 seconds

This 1972 ballad hit big in New York City and features vocalist Diane Jenkins.
My copy of this record has all the hisses and pops of its age -- so much so that I hesitated posting it but decided "what the hell" it is what it is.

Prove It - Aretha Franklin Prove It - Aretha Franklin
Posted by: DannyLinden

Video duration: 182 seconds

1967 cut from "Aretha Arrives" and the much-played B-side to "Chain of Fools." Cissy Houston (Whitney's mama) and The Sweet Inspirations provide the great background vocals. Not so much a B-side but rather a double-sided "A."

Everything\ Everything's Coming Up Love - Richmond Extension
Posted by: DannyLinden

Video duration: 203 seconds

Richmond Extension recorded Van McCoy's tune a few years before David Ruffin covered it. David enjoyed a huge hit with his version, unlike Richmond Extension. I've always loved the harmony on this beautiful recording.

Just Because He Wants to Make Love/Thanks A Lot - Moments Just Because He Wants to Make Love/Thanks A Lot - Moments
Posted by: DannyLinden

Video duration: 410 seconds

Here are back-to-back 1972 recordings from The Moments. "Just Because He Wants To Make Love (Doesn't Mean He Loves You)" is already posted but in typical Soul Train fashion the song was faded before its conclusion. Annoying! "Thanks A Lot" is a lesser known medium-sized hit that I really like a lot.
