Lulu - Feelin' Alright

ORIGINATION Right On! Break Beats And Grooves From The Atlantic And Warner Vaults 1967 - 1975
LAST LISTENED TO March
CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT not much
RATING

Yes, yes, yes, that Lulu. You know, her voice is not bad, it's quite soulful. And the music, recorded in Muscle Shoals with musicians who had been involved in top-rate soul music for several years by this point, is pretty damned good too. But there are better versions of this track around (Traffic created it, before Joe Cocker went on to do the best known version), so reallly there is little reason to bother with this apart from sheer curiosity. Still, i could think of many worse ways to wake up on a grey summer sunday.
