I JUST WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO YOU The Willie Dixon cover that got no love in the "sophisticated" New York market. I learned about this track from my college buddy John Hughes, it was all over the radio in his hometown of Kansas City during the summer of '72. That's the way it used to be, music was local, before the Internet truly turned us into a global village. I didn't know and I didn't care. Savoy Brown never flew on my radar, did I really need to pay attention to the remnants? YES! Then the band released three more albums, none of which gained much traction, despite the second, "Rock and

Every Tuesday and Thursday, former Warner Bros. Records executive and industry insider Stan Cornyn ruminates on the past, present, and future of the music business. 1966-1967 By 1966, “pop” music had reached a crossroads. One road ahead would remain warm, smooth, and in tune. Groups traveling that road sang good songs. All male “pop” groups wore suits and ties. But other roads now featured druggies. Singers on those roads yelled the words. They played guitars that screeched. Their clothes were tie-dyed. In the news, more and more, were battles in Vietnam, heading toward full war. But there

Sixty years ago, Booker T. & The MG’s transformed an impromptu studio jam into one of the most popular instrumentals ever recorded, “Green Onions.” An instant hit when it came out in the summer of 1962, the single topped the R&B chart and peaked at #3 on the pop chart before selling a million copies.

In celebration of this classic album’s anniversary
