Hey Chris, do you know how Ike Turner got away with ripping off Sly's "Sing A Simple Song" (released earlier in 1969) for "Bold Soul Sister"? Ike even credits himself as the song writer. Both super funky jams, to be sure.

Keep it locked hb!

Curious to see what you pick from Bill Laswell's MASSIVE body of work!

8:11 PM, February 12th, 2022
Chris Ikonomopoulos (host)
Did not know that Ben. Was surprised to see Ike giving Tina credit as co-writer on the label of the 7" though... or maybe that was Blue Thumb's decision.

8:14 PM, February 12th, 2022
Chris Ikonomopoulos (host)
Stay tuned PeterB - Heavy Ben is taking care of the Laswell portion of the program.

Somehow this drummer has even more drum hits per second than Ginger Baker!

That's only 5 hours of radio next week for me, far less than what Bill Laswell will produce I bet.
