Song of the Day - FRANCINE KING (featuring Sax Kari) / Two Fools
This one is off of the "Sax Kari & Others -- Fumigate Funky Broadway - The New Orleans Sessions".
According to Dusty Groove, this is "A great batch of rough New Orleans soul -- recorded by Crescent City impresario Sax Kari and a host of other acts that he handled during the mid and late 60s! Sax is a lesser-known name in the annals of New Orleans soul ..."
I dig it cuz the drums are funky and the bass line is deep. On top of this the lyrics are spot on. Francine sings about hard headed women and 2 faced men. We've all met them before, maybe you've dated one, but hey, at least you ain't alone. Heck I even met a 3 handed woman once. She was left handed, right handed and underhanded. Doah!
We DO miss you. The blog was great.

Is there anything better than the warm sound of vinyl cracks? Don't think so. Love your posts and your site. I just recently started my own site and I put your link. Check mine out. Thanks

This is one of the better tunes on that Sax Kari comp. Nice choice. Kari produced this in Mobile after he left New Orleans in the late 60's, early '70's. I prefer it to most of the stuff he did in New Orleans, where I think he was recording in his living room part of the time, or at least it sounded that way.
