This is a pretty cool video and Geoffrey Weiss seems like a very nice guy. But just wait till he gets to the Pharoah Sanders record… 🤯

It’s #InternationalWomensDay so I’ll be adding to this thread of women who inspired and innovated in rock’n’roll throughout, and where to start but with the great Sister Rosetta Tharpe, spiritual grandmother of all rock’n’roll guitarists?

Not 100 % convinced - great song though.

Nah I like stuff like this. 🙂

I did wonder if the voice/song had been processed in some way rather than just a straight sample.

I'll tell you who might know - any ideas meastro @rockingbob.bsky.social ?

I'm trying to think of soul acts with very young singers - clearly not a young Michael Jackson tho' something along similar lines.

I suspect the song isn't called Get Yourself Together but that's just the run out refrain - it kinda reminds me of early stuff by The 5 Stairsteps featuring Cubie.

Not much hope of that Andrew - I'm hopeless when it comes to things like that but will give it a whirl when it comes on 😀
