Seeing a co-bill of Otis and Ann Peebles was one of my best heaven on earth soul music experiences ever. RIP.

saw otis make an unannounced appearance at a tribute concert to curtis mayfield that was hastily organized in early 2000, a few weeks after mayfield's death. he did "people get ready" and a few others, and even though the other acts (rebecca gates, etc.) were great, the phrase that comes to mind in re. clay's performance was "that's how it's done."

it's not a ballad, but i think irma thomas' "two winters long" should have been an absolute smash hit record. this was recorded in 1962 (!!!!!!)
