So embedding the song I want to post about today is disabled by youtube, which made me investigate a little.
First, the song is Me'shell Ndegeocello's version of You Really Got a Hold on Me, which as far back as I can remember first ever hearing it when I was 11 or so has been one of my favorite ever love songs. It came on my contempo-influenced soul station on Pandora today. It's just so good, the contained passion of it. It's soo precise. Aghghhg god.
In the meantime what I discovered was a documentary about the band she is performing with, The Funk Brothers, which is what the clip is from, Standing in the Shadows of Motown. Now added to my summer queue.
