SUGAR PIE AND HER HEAVY FRIENDS

Oh holy hell. A random click at Boogaloo Time, landed me on an awesome selection of songs on a post titled Hey Soul Sister. It's just what it implies. Heavy on Northern soul, including a Spector produced Darlene Love cut, "Lord If You're a Woman", best described as "'Wall of Motown' looked good on paper". Though not as epic as Spector probably imagined, it's a great cut.

Now for something that will make your hair stand on end. Did for me. There's a transition in the Sugar Pie Desanto song, "Do the Whoopie", where she ends a verse with a scream and her voice cracks, followed two seconds later with a honking sax solo. Even the short two seconds between the two fits in a micro drum break. Bliss. But don't skip ahead, it's much better if you're already locked in the groove. It's at :51.
