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

If you follow my show for WFMU\u2019s Give the Drummer Radio<\/strong><\/a>, you may have seen that the DJ premium I put together for this year\u2019s fundraising marathon was dedicated to soul and funk artists covering 70s AM gold.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve made collecting such records something of a sideline in the last few years, and today\u2019s selection is a fine example of the subgenre (and was included on that premium CD).<\/p>\n

Margie Joseph<\/strong> was a Mississippi-born singer who recorded a bunch of singles for Okeh and Volt in the 60s and a few albums for Volt in the early 70s, before moving on to record for Atlantic and their subsidiaries into the late 80s.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s selection hails from her 1974 \u2018Sweet Surrender\u2019 LP, which contains many such covers, including two Bread<\/strong> tunes, a very early cover of Billy Joel\u2019s<\/strong> \u2018He\u2019s Got a Way\u2019 and the tune I bring you today, Paul McCartney and Wings\u2019<\/strong> \u2018My Love\u2019.<\/p>\n

Back in the early 70s, when I was deep inside the AM radio thing, I was not a huge fan of the original Wings version of \u2018My Love\u2019, put off by Paul\u2019s \u2018whoa whoa whoa\u2019s in the chorus (though it\u2019s fair to say that the song has grown on me in the ensuing decades.<\/p>\n

Margie Joseph, backed by a solid band of NY and Philly studio pros gives the song a smooth, pretty reading, treating the melody gently, and finessing the chorus.<\/p>\n

The overall effect is as if the song had been written for her.<\/p>\n

I dig it a lot, and I hope you do too.<\/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
