Skip James played blues in a high eerie voice. He recorded in 1931 and was rediscovered in 1964 deeply together.     ○○○
Today’s Record
Sideshow 1974

A song about a love that feels like a sideshow act

Album art

Sam Moore and Dave Prater couldn't stand each other -- traveling in separate cars, staying in separate hotels. But when Isaac Hayes and David Porter handed them , the animosity vanished into the harmonies. The song is about a man thanking a woman for everything she's given him. The singers couldn't thank each other, but they could sing gratitude together for three perfect minutes.

The contradiction was the magic.
