It has been a while since we had some soul music on here. We are here to put that right with the late great Esther Phillips and a couple of tracks from her excellent 1975 album "What A Diff'rence A Day Makes".
Many of you will be familiar with the title track which was a Top 10 smash in the UK and crept into the Top 20 in the US (and if you are not you will be shortly). It is a top tune although not representative of the album as a whole.
My assumption is that the home Esther wants the person to whom the first song is addressed to return to is the not the hurting house that she describes in the second one. But I may be wrong. She had a complicated life, old Esther, so who knows.
"You're Coming Home" - Esther Phillips
"Hurting House" - Esther Phillips
#1 is a belting song.
ReplyDelete#2 is also very good.
