Baby Love by The Supremes is definitely high on the list.

Motowns clean and snappy production used to be my favorite but now Spectors chaotic thrum usually hits way harder.

A couple more towering masterpieces from Phil

soon

Let’s Go Crazy / Erotic City >>>>>>>>>>>

The producer as an artist

These young kids growing up only listening to albums online through their phone won’t understand

Morricone composes one of the most iconic scores oat

Gotta put some respek on de mon Muddy Waters

How bout some blue-eyed folky joints

Never even heard this joint but saw that album cover and you already know it grooves

just got that Muddy in rotation for '64

also these :datass: doin my Chess Records homework

this one is awesome

chuck is back with another clutch of classics after a few years in jail

everybody knows this one from Pulp Fiction

Oh hell yea that Wolf joint is a total jam and you got Tha Carter in there too

Peep this joint from de mon Sleepy John Estes, amazing production for this album. Such a clean group session. This man was born in 1899 THOSE REAL BLUES

oh s*** mike bloomfield jamming with the relics

Idk who Mike Bloomfield is but I love how that one guy's name is 'Hammie' Nixon :datass:

Bloomfield played lead guitar on Like A Rolling Stone for Dylan

and helped him piss off all the folkies when he went electric a bit before that;

i actually replaced the album version with this one because it so much more scorching Bloomfield was unreal

dont speak french but respect the passion

that doc watson is v potent

this footage highlighting James Jamesons iconic bass line right off the bat Smokey who wrote it in the back the string and horn perfection David Ruffin seizing control of the band he just joined those moves its all too perfect ive even got the month of may

this the most soul shattering motown song of '64 though Levi Stubbs easily matched Marvin and Ruffins most powerhouse vocal performances and the melodies mounting urgency always catches me off-guard arresting

the material Ike was pushing alot of the time still cool footage

he's a strong contender for my favorite Motown voice tbh

and its a godly classic

His style is so sweepingly dramatic

@YUNGRAVERPANTS yeah you're f***in LATE

i mean i can only think of a handful like him, tops

man elvis was such a write-off by '64 just found the exact reason why;

"Payments to Presley for each film amounted to between $225,000 to $1,000,000 up front, often half the budget for production, with a 50% share of the profits. These movies were being shot in sometimes as little as three weeks, with the complete scoring and recording of the soundtrack albums taking no more than two weeks. It fell to Freddy Bienstock, the assistant of Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, to ensure that the soundtrack songs fit into the profit equation with the publishing controlled by Elvis Presley Music or Gladys Music, the Hill and Range Publishing companies owned by Presley and Parker. As a result, successful writers such as Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, Otis Blackwell and Winfield Scott, and Don Robertson lost interest in adhering to the needs of the grind. It was interlocking self-promotion, causing one MGM employee to remark that the movies "didn't need titles. They could be numbered. They would still sell"

f***ing colonel tom

eh nah
