I just came across this . . . . . . . Aretha singing one of my favourite songs of all time . . . The Dark End of The Street by Chips Moman / Dan Penn it is story telling blues at it's very best and from James Carr's original to Ry Cooder's instrumental (from whom I first heard it ) then sung with his band the Chicken Skin Band by Eldridge King, Terry Evans and Bobby King and  and I have started collecting them but found this today . . . . . . .





we will miss her . . . . .

and here's my favourite which I dedicate to her memory

the finest guitar break solo I have EVER heard!
