Sweet Soul Music
The late Lou Rawls proved he could sing
with his great big hit “Love is a Hurting Thing”
Another great soul hit I recall
was performed by Joe Tex titled “Skinny Legs and All”
A dynamic duo was Sam and Dave.
“Hold On, I’m Coming” was drawing the rave.
Two songs that went up Billboard’s charts far,
were “War” and “Twenty-five Miles” by Edwin Starr.
One more song I found quite sublime
was the late Billy Stewart’s hit “Summertime”.
The late James Brown could produce a great sound.
Everybody was jumping when “The Godfather” was in town.
I know there are some other goodies I have missed.
Great soul artists are just too numerous to list.
