an ADVERT brought me here..!

As good as she sounded back in the 60s when her big hit came out......and what pipes!!!
This is when Soul ruled.....and the world was filled with great black music...not the rap crap that they do now.........
Oh, to be able to hear newer black bands do this stuff.......now, that would be something.
Thanks, Fontella!!!

Her voice is great here, better than I expected. Shame the budget didn't run to a proper full horn section.
-
given her age in the video, HER VOICE IS AWESOME AS ALWAYS.

@santnicola No doubt about. This can be proven in the fact that every great track , whether jazz funk, soul,or straight jazz from the 1950s-60s-70s is SAMPLED by todays crew. Torn to bits and replaced by drum machines & verbal garbage. This is because the well of true creativity has RUN DRY. Nobody can replace Otis Redding, James Carr, Fontella, Etta James or even any of the Philly singers.

@cjs33139 I agree with you--- Fontella Bass comes from the era of CREATIVE music when so many REAL innovators in Jazz, Blues, Soul were still alive.(Coltrane, Hendrix,Miles Davis)
Those artists link was the church & gospel...today that link is, largely, lost. Replaced by "attitude" & corporate greed.
Everybody today sounds the same. All you have to do is act profane or be an imitator and "sample" others genius.. but i really wonder if they have as much FUN today making "music"(?)

good but not the best version i,v ever heard



now.... THIS is hip 'black' music... not the trash posing as black music heard today..... the corporates have destroyed the music industry....just listen to old motown, english northern soul, isac hayes, curtis mayfield, aretha, stax, barry white etc and listen to the radio today and you'll know what i mean
