"Phillips, who would have turned ninety this month, went on to be one of the most overlooked singers of all time. Part of that was bad luck—as well as a habit of making her own bad luck. But part of it, I feel sure, was that in 1962, Nashville wasn’t ready—it perhaps still isn’t ready—for a Black woman bringing a Black sensibility to country music."

Yet another member of the band so powerful it could turn goat piss into gasoline has gone before us.
I first learned of him through The Blues Brothers, but was already a fan of "Green Onions" due to the "American Grafitti" soundtrack. And he was a key part of so many hits.
