syl johnson

On some other thread I once wrote :

I saw Syl Johnson awhile back (2009) as part of the Numero Group Eccentric Soul tour. Still has an impressive voice

still literally the craziest guy I have ever seen on stage

oh whoa

Looks like the planned documentary is about to get funded

And yup, it is.

NEW REWARD: For $40 you'll get an "Afro Kitty" tote bag by Project Runway Season 11 designer Joseph Aaron Segal, creator of the world famous Pretty Snake "Cuckoo Kitty" sweater.

Have had the Numero box gathering dust on my shelf for a few years*. Just started digging into the vinyl, beginning w/the actual Twinight albums, and haven't felt this good in awhile.

*Usually when I need a Syl fix I reach for that shitty but wonderful Collectables comp, or pull up the Twinight Singles set on Spotify.

Those Twinight albums are just perfection, impossible not to smile while listening.

His recent stuff, I'm less into:
