There is something so satisfying and uplifting on "The Love I Lost" when Brother Teddy calls upon one and all to stand up and testify, to join in and sing/confess that "I lost it / Sorry I lost it". It's a quasi-religious disco experience.- something we just don't encounter these days.

Two very good albums from 19963, although her version of "Blowin' In The Wind" doesn't quite make the grade for me.

Hmmmmmm . . .

I got a shipment confirmation email from DeepDiscount today, so it should be here by week's end. It came to $11.14 + tax buying from them.

Disc 2

A pretty good movie. I only checked it out because of my recent interest in Harry Belafonte, but I'm glad I did. Sidney Poitier plays Buck, a wagon master who specializes in leading groups of freed slaves who are headed out West. Cameron Mitchell leads a team of "labor recruiters" who tries (by violent means) to get these groups to return from whence they came. Harry Belafonte is an itinerant pseduo-preacher who at first is an antagonist of Buck, but they come to realize they have a common enemy. A good, solid Western movie making use of some themes not exactly common to Westerns.

! The discs released from that tour are really good! To mix things up a bit this afternoon, I've had these 5 discs on random shuffle play:

Two albums originally from 1967-68 with arrangements on both by Billy May, Oliver Nelson and Sid Feller.

My favorite recording for this time of year . . .
