King and Queen

Listen/Download – Otis Redding and Carla Thomas – New Year’s Resolution MP3

Greetings all.

The end of the week (at the end of the year) is here and so is the Funky16Corners Radio Show, which drops each and every Friday with the best in soul, funk, jazz and rare groove all on original vinyl. You can subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTunes, listen on your mobile device via Stitcher and TuneIn, check it out on Mixcloud or grab an MP3 right here at Funky16Corners.com

This has been a bitch of a year, and I don’t hold high hopes for the one on the way, but I will damn well make sure, here and out in the real world, to do what I can to make it better.

So listen to Otis and Carla, and ‘Let’s see how happy we can be”.

Right on?
