Feed me soul when I have the blues
Respect! Aretha
You fill my empty ether
James Brown,
'I feel good'
You knew that I would
Gladys Knight
Your midnight train
Soothes my pain
Percy Sledge
Your gospel edge
'Wraps me in Warm and Tender Love'
Mr Charles
Your fat Hammond chords
Have me tapping the board
'That’s what I’d say!'
Al Green
I dig your scene
When the Temptations play
Melodies sway
Miss Moore,
Misty Blue
Pulls at my heart string true
'I can’t get you off of my mind'
Otis
I sit with you on the dock of the bay
Sink into your words as I lay.
Wilson Pickett
Horns that blow
Make your music flow
'In The Midnight Hour.'
Miss Peebles
You tear my play house down
With your bitter sweet soul sound
Ben E King
With your harmonies sing
And 'Stand By Me'
Stevie
When I am sad you make my heart glad
'Signed Sealed and Delivered'
Your blindness a gift
That heals my rift
Feed me blues so I can feel my soul
Muddy
Not so old and fuddy
Your Mojo works on me!
John Lee moan and groan
I am hooked
on your dulcet tone.
Bo
You’re the man
Diddle you know that?
Old man Johnson
You strum so well
Your sad sorry to tell
Sonny Boy
Mr Williamson I get your ploy
Harmonica in hand.
You ‘Help Me’ to another land
Johnny Winter
There ain’t no 'shame on you'
Your upbeat gift high tempo blue
Mick and the Mac
You take me fleetingly back
'Need Your Love So Bad'
Feeling lonely and sad
Can’t ignore Led Zeppelin
To pure blues fans they are a sin
But they 'Shook Me' within
Clapton
I Shot The Sheriff, Crossroads
Just two of your fine odes
Listen, close my eyes stretched out on the floor
And I am 'Knocking on Heavens Door'
When I am down and low
There is only one place to go.
Soul Sister, Blues Brother
Could there ever be another.
