 Greetings. Professor Mikey here, still basking in the hot soul sun of 1965. You don’t have to have heard our previous episode in order to listen to this one. But Summer of Soul Vol 1 has a lot of things you will be expecting to hear. For this edition, it is certainly more of the same. The first full year of the British Invasion was rocking the planet. The the sounds of the Mersey beats combine on the radio with great American soul power, and careers for the likes of James Brown, the Supremes, Stevie Wonder and more, were launching like 21st century outer space exploration startups.There’s a lot of music left to unpack, so insert headphones. It’s one thing that the Booker T and the MGs song Plum Nellie that’s going on in the background will no doubt inspire a Led Zeppelin lick in about 4 years. But there is so much more. We are about to get started with a twin spin from Otis Redding that includes a song that Aretha Franklin will cover quite soon.Get in the groove, we have another hour of summer to move smooth. It’s the 1965 Summer of Soul Volume II. Things go better with soul. And a little respect.Respect OTIS REDDINGI Can’t Turn You Loose OTIS REDDINGRide Your Pony LEE DORSEYAgent Double Oh Soul EDWIN STARRSome Other Guy RICHIE BARRETTTake Me in Your Arms KIM WESTONBack in My Arms Again THE SUPREMESOo Wee Baby FRED HUGHESI Don’t Know What You Got LITTLE RICHARDHold On JOE TEXBoy from NYC THE ADLIBSCandy THE ASTORSI Take Whatever I Want SAM AND DAVESnatch It Back and Hold It JUNIOR WELLESTracks of My Tears SMOKEY ROBINSON AND THE MIRACLESRainbow GENE CHANDLERHurt So Bad LITTLE ANTHONY AND THE IMPERIALSAsk the Lonely THE FOUR TOPSWhen Otis Redding cut Respect in ’65, it was a man pleading with his woman. Two years later, Aretha Franklin flipped it on its head — and turned it into a demand that redefined the song forever.”“ I Can’t Turn You Loose. “This wasn’t just another single — it became his stage theme. The horns blast, Otis shouts, and the crowd knows they’re in for a ride.New Orleans. Lee Dorsey’s Ride Your Pony, produced by Allen Toussaint. James Brown himself admitted he stole a few tricks from this groove.Spy games in soul music? Edwin Starr thought so. His first hit, Agent Double-O Soul, let him ham it up onstage in a tux with a toy gun — years before War made him a household name.Back in Liverpool, the Beatles never recorded Richie Barrett’s Some Other Guy, but they loved it. One of the earliest TV clips of the band shows them rocking it live at the Cavern (above).Kim Weston’s Take Me in Your Arms didn’t catch fire in ’65, but a decade later the Doobie Brothers turned it into a monster hit.The Supremes with Back in My Arms Again. This was their fifth straight number one — tying the Beatles at the time. Pure Holland-Dozier-Holland.From Chicago, Fred Hughes and Oo Wee Baby. He had the smoothness of Sam Cooke — but never quite broke through.Rarity: Little Richard’s I Don’t Know What You Got. One of the few studio cuts where a young Jimi Hendrix actually backed Richard on guitar.The Boy from New York City by The Ad Libs. In the ’80s, Manhattan Transfer brought it back to life, but in ’65 it was pure street-corner pop.Out of Memphis and Stax Records came The Astors with Candy. Booker T. & the MG’s were behind them — bopping the Memphis sound.From the Stax label, Sam & Dave with I Take What I Want. Written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter.Junior Wells and Snatch It Back and Hold It. Guitar duties? Buddy Guy.One of Smokey Robinson’s personal favorites: The Tracks of My Tears. Years later, the Library of Congress picked it for the National Recording Registry. Gene Chandler, the ‘Duke of Earl,’ reinvented himself mid-decade with smooth ballads. Rainbow showed he wasn’t just a one-hit wonder.Little Anthony & the Imperials with the heartbreak ballad Hurt So Bad. Linda Ronstadt would cover it 15 years later and land in the Top 10 all over again.The Four Tops with Ask the Lonely. It didn’t climb as high as their later smashes, but Levi Stubbs’ voice here — that raw ache — proved why he was Motown’s secret weapon.Its going to Hurt So Bad to leave the Soul Summer of ‘65 Volume 2.
