The Twentie Grans - Guilty_Columbia 44239

I've had a lot on my mind the past week and a half so I neglected you a bit, sorry I'm guilty.
But I'm back with a great deepie.
Not much info on the group. The song can be found on a cd I mentioned earlier.

The song was such a hit that Carlos Cortez did a slower Spanish version of the song.

Roy Arlington - Everybody Makes A Mistake Sometimes Safice-337 '61

This Eddie Floyd penned great ballad has also been released by Otis Redding (Volt '66) and Mitty Collier (Chess '67).
All these versions are great and it's hard to choose which one is the best. I played all 3 before posting and I can't decide even though I'm an Otis man. They all got something special.

I'll post all 3 versions for you to make up your mind yourself. Let me know your findings.

I'm wondering: Are there more deep soul versions out there ????

Buddy Miles - Down By The River

I just read that Buddy Miles passed away.

The song was an enormous hit back in Suriname. It was number 1 for a very long time. The best memories I have regarding this song was during my school vacation in september 1971, peddling down the Suriname river in a korjaal ( see picture below) to visit an old plantation called Rorac, and stay for a few days . My best friends family owned the place, right in the middle of nowhere.

Imagine two 17 years old teenagers crossing a tropical river in this korjaal and a battery-radio somewhere in the front, with the volume on max and Buddy Miles singing "Down By The River".
