Nice Lou Rawls, All around agreement re Lou Rawls. What a voice and what style! I'm sure Rok would approve of the impression that whatever he sings has the feeling of the blues. Great singer.
I love Stanley Turrentine and have posted quite a bit of his stuff. I'm afraid that "The Man WTSF" doesn't do it for me. Beautiful and very distinctive tenor playing style; sexiest tenor sound ever. I'm afraid that "The Man With The Sad Face" just doesn't do it for me. IMO, this was the low point in his recording career and the reason that there was so much criticism around that time of the move by him, Benson and others to that style of over-produced "disco-jazz"; in a word, saccharine. Everything that I don't like about much of the CTI stuff, on steroids. Might there be some hidden meaning in that title?
