Listen\/Download – Lonnie Brooks and the 4 Souls – Soul Meeting MP3<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Today\u2019s selection is a great example of a guy that started out in an R&B\/Soul bag, and went on to make his mark in the blues.<\/p>\n

Lonnie Brooks<\/strong> (nee Lee Evans Jr<\/strong>) got his start in his native Louisiana, made his way up to Chicago where he started out as Guitar Jr.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By the mid-1960s he was making soul 45s on his own and as part of Lonnie Brooks and the 4 Souls<\/strong> for labels like USA, Chess and Chirrup.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s tune was the b-side of a 1967\/68 45 and is one of my fave shout-out records (where one artist mentions another).<\/p>\n

\u2018Soul Meeting\u2019 has a slightly funky underpinning, and starts out with mentions of James Brown, Aretha Franklin, as well as Jackie Wilson, Etta James, Booker T and the MGs. Ruby Andrews, Joe Tex, Temptations, Jackie Wilson, Gladys Knight, Otis Clay, Wilson Pickett, Junior Walker, and Sam and Dave.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s not a lot of \u2018song\u2019 here, but it\u2019s still a ot of fun hearing Lonnie shout out (and in some cases imitate) the hot artists of the day.<\/p>\n

The a-side, \u2018Good Soul Lovin\u2019 is a killer as well.<\/p>\n

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

Also, make sure to follow Funky16Corners<\/strong> on Instagram<\/strong><\/a>, Twitter<\/strong><\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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