Give me mercy

Sì, lo so. Ieri era previsto il programma ma ho dato buca, anche se avevo promesso di essere più costante. Per farmi perdonare, ho aperto il baule delle cose preziose e ho caricato sul player a destra queste dodici gemme di soul assai raro. Difficile preferire una all'altra, però non posso non segnalarvi il devastante pezzo d'apertura (suonato dai signori qua sopra), una sfiziosa variante cinese di Bang Bang di Nancy Sinatra, il prototipo di I got you (I feel good) di James Brown e l'ipnotico jazz-funk in chiusura.
Insomma, ascoltatevele tutte. E fatemi sapere.
