Nothing makes for sexy quite like this song… Otis Redding is still the man. Whether it be this song re-made popular from Dirty Dancing or Try A Little Tenderness (many know that one from Pretty In Pink), that man’s music oozes sex appeal.
And if that doesn’t get you in the mood…Try some Solomon Burke with this scene from Dirty Dancing. Swayze & Grey sizzled!
Patrick Swayze will always be missed by this girl, as will this kind of R & B.
I thought this was an appropriate lead in to Valentine’s Day….

Always love the music from Dirty Dancing. Now, if I’d only been smart enough to invest in the movie!

LOL! As in monetarily or you’ve never watched it?

I’ve watched the movie many times and listened to the music even more. I lived in Carmel when the film was seeking investors for production and I passed up the opportunity. Those that invested are still raking in the money.

I love the old school rock and r&b. Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Sam and Dave and all the girl groups like the Ronettes, Shirrelles. Slow dancing and stolen kisses at high school dances.
LikeLike
Me, too. The more modern R&B actually leaves me cold…well, most of it. Too much about showing off voices, not enough about the music. The beauty of those songs (Both rock & R&B) was in the feelings they were able to bring through them. The heart and soul of the lyrics were the focus, not the afterthought.

I’ve got a rant (reasoned rant) on oldies stations and my belief oldies stopped in 1970. and were the roots of R&R and everything else is the trunk, branches or leaves on the tree. There’s some blossoms that opened and fell like Boy George, Wham and IMHO most of the Nineties.. That’s because I fall into the antiMTV group

I get where you’re coming from. I was never much for MTV, either. I’ve always just followed my passions, musically speaking (who am I kidding? I do the same thing in real life, too.). Personally, it was the lack of good music and lyrics that turned me on to country….and making jazz choir in high school that got me into old school jazz (Ella, Louie, etc.)
