Greetings all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I should start things off today by letting you know that my inaugural episode of the Funky16Corners Radio Show<\/strong> for SoulGuyRadio.com<\/a><\/strong> is up and ready to stream or download at their site (I won’t be posting it to iTunes until the end of the week).<\/p>\n

Make sure you check it out, and the other great shows in the Soul Guy Radio line-up as well.<\/p>\n

______________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n

The middle of the week is here, and in furtherance of getting us all over the hump and sliding downhill into the weekend, I thought I\u2019d whip something sweet and upbeat on you.<\/p>\n

The Shirelles<\/strong> are one of the more soulful giants of the girl group era, having recorded a grip of certified classics (\u2018Baby It\u2019s You\u2019 and \u2018Boys\u2019 both having been covered by the Beatles<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

I featured the A-side of this particular 45, the epic, Northern Soul classic \u2018Last Minute Miracle\u2019 back in 2012.<\/p>\n

Where as that tune is fairly hard-charging, with a spectacular, lifting chorus, today\u2019s selection is a little bit more relaxed, with a slightly sweeter feel.<\/p>\n

Written by Luther Dixon<\/strong> and Kenny Hollon<\/strong> and arranged by Richard Tee<\/strong>, \u2018No Doubt About It\u2019 is fast moving, with some great accents (especially where the piano and glockenspiel double each other), a pulsing bass line, well-applied horns and wonderful harmony vocals by the Shirelles.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that both sides of the 45 were excellent and filled with hooks, only \u2018Last Minute Miracle\u2019 got any airplay at all, and even then only in a few regional markets.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig the tune, and I\u2019ll see you all on Friday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
