SOUL RADIO STATION
LISTEN TO HOW THEY COULD PLAY
YEAH BABY, THEY REALLY COULD SING
THOSE RECORDS’LL SPIN ON FOREVER
NOT LIKE MOST THINGS
SMOKEY AND EDDIE, DIANA AND SLY
FLOATED ALL OVER A NATION
THIS HEAVENLY CHOIR SPREADIN LIKE FIRE
WHEN THE DIAL WAS TUNED TO A SOUL RADIO STATION
LAYIN DOWN THE FATTEST OF GROOVES
LIKE A RIVER SO WIDE
WHILE THE MILLIONS OF FOLKS HAD TO DANCE
SOMETIMES THEY CRIED
WITHERS AND MARVIN, ARETHA AND LEVI
STIRRED UP QUITE A SENSATION
FROM HEAVEN ABOVE, THEY FIT LIKE A GLOVE
AND IT BROUGHT US TOGETHER ON SOUL RADIO STATIONS
YOU COULD TELL IT WAS REAL, NO PHONY DEAL
NOT JUST SOME FASHION CREATION
ONE SIGN OF THE TIME HELPED US ALL CLIMB
OUT OF OUR OWN TREPIDATION
YEAH, YOU COULD TELL IT WAS REAL, NO PHONY DEAL
NOT JUST SOME FASHION CREATION
ONE SIGN OF THE TIME HELPED US ALL CLIMB
OUT OF OUR OWN TRIBULATION, TURNED ON ILLUMINATION
SO WHAT’S IT LIKE NOW
AND WHAT HAVE WE GOT?
CAN THE SELFIES ON FACEBOOK EVER
FILL IN THAT SPOT?
BUT THERE MIGHT BE A WAKE UP
TO TUNE IN AGAIN
FINDING SOME NEW REVELATION
FROM WHISPERIN SPIRITS OF OTIS OR PERCY
OR A DJ DOWN AT THE SOUL RADIO STATION
No, selfies couldn’t possibly replace any soul songs. The groove is EVERYTHING. Great harmonies again. Great job.
Had someone in my studio yesterday from New York who mentioned that she often visits Stockbridge. When I mentioned that you have played for many years at the Red Lion, she said, I’ve seen Tom Savoy there more than once. Ha ha. The world is so small. Have many New Yorkers here. Of course she loved your show.
Hey Carole,
Thanks kindly. Very cool about your studio visitor; I think I’ve now played at the Red Lion well over 400 times since 1992. A great spot; was just there with the Savoy Trio last Saturday, and it was a killer night.
Lil’ Bro Tom
At the Soul searching station Radio I find this Waltz
beat groovin’ to this song. Very Nice. We’ll have to try this one out, hmm.
Oh, also the Lyrics were very deep like the Grooveeee
WoW. I like it !
Hey Staush,
Yeah, we like this one very much. A lot going on, and the backgrounds and harms are pretty involved. A neat little story of remembrance, and a bunch of heroes and influences noted in the lyrics.
And man, they really could play and sing.
Thanks for your thoughts, Stan.
