With this being the fourth "Early Dexys" song uploaded to the channel - and definitely many more to follow, I've created a playlist entitled "Straight To The Heart" which can be found here: th-cam.com/play/PLP4E6f3rW36Sk0wkrwF9BfYcXSInIHdLk.html
5 Stax Recordings Featuring Brass Riffs Which Wouldn't Sound Out Of Place On A Dexys Song... 1) Things Get Better - Eddie Floyd (Brass riffs that sound like Dexys - and lead vocals reminiscent of The Fine Young Cannibals' Roland Gift!) 2) Banana Juice - The Mar-Keys (If Dexys had recorded this around 1981 it would have fitted the Projected Passion Revue sound perfectly. 3) You Got Good Lovin' - Otis Redding (An unreleased track from around '65 with a really infectious brass riff) 4) You Can't Sit Still - The Bar-Kays (More than a shade of the "Listen To This" riff on this Phil Upchurch Combo cover from '67) 5) Funky Broadway - Steve Cropper (A track which sounds closer to the '85 Dexys live sound than any other - yet also pre-empts Stone Roses)
