Listen\/Download – Chuck Brooks – Baa Baa Black Sheep MP3<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

How about some nice, funky Memphis soul?<\/p>\n

I forget where I first heard this 45 (I\u2019m guessing on Facebook somewhere) but when I did, I knew I had to find myself a copy.<\/p>\n

Chuck Brooks<\/strong> was a Memphis-based singer\/songwriter who waxed 45s for AGP, Volt, Mercury, Chimneyville, and Malaco between 1969 and 1977.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s selection, \u2018Baa Baa Black Sheep\u2019 was recorded\/released in 1969, recorded in Memphis and produced by Tommy Cogbill.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was also released in the UK that year on Dave Godin\u2019s<\/strong> Soul City imprint.<\/p>\n

A tough, funky number with some hard-hitting guitar, and organ, as well as a strong vocal by Brooks, \u2018Baa Baa Black Sheep\u2019 failed to hit the charts, though it certainly should have (his 1970 45 for Volt got some play in Philadelphia).<\/p>\n

Interestingly enough, after his recording career, Brooks went into business with none other than Homer Banks,<\/strong> forming the Sound Town label, and co-writing, producing early 80s hits for J Blackfoot.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope you dig the 45, and I\u2019ll see you on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

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

Larry<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
