In case you thought Etta James was just one song, here’s another great 70s Etta tune… “Out on the Streets Again” from 1974.

Rosco P. Coldchain f. Pharrell - Delinquent.
The man is talented.
Don’t kill people. That’s the lesson here. Because then you’ll go to jail and I’ll never get to enjoy your raps. About killing. Which I had assumed to not be literal.
Got into a discussion with Ben Harrison, Put This On’s director, about the underratedness of the Neptunes’ Clones. A few genuinely awful songs, but some fantastic ones as well. The above Snoop track is a favorite, though maybe my #1 is Rosco P. Coldchain’s “Hot,” which also features great verses from Pusha T and Boobonic from Phillie’s Most Wanted. Rarely does a week go by that I don’t bum out over ‘Sco getting all murdery and never coming out with an album.
Etta James covers Randy Newman’s “Leave Your Hat On,” from 1976’s “Etta’s Betta Then Evah!”
This is what is known as a stone cold jam.
Newman’s “Sail Away,” on which his version of this song appears, is next week’s Outshot on Bullseye.
It’s a long story.
That’s Numberwang!
Curtis Mayfield - Do Do Wap is Strong In Here
Some superb later-period Curtis.
