The Showmen – The Owl Sees You
Today’s cut is In memory of another Soul man who has left us…General Norman Johnson..whose voice rose to prominence first as Lead for the Showmen and then Chairman Of The Board. This was one of their, (unreleased), demo’s sent to Joe Banashak whose Minit label ranks high on themusicologist’s list of supreme Rhythm & Blues/Soul labels. Why this marrow trembler went unreleased is beyond me…Norman Johnson Rest In Peace…gone but never forgotten.
your really on a roll!!..what a great voice, another shoulder shimmyer..

Beyond me too….
“You take some music, music
Sweet flowin’ music
Some movin’ and grovin’
Rock and Roll will stand
Take some heart beats, drum beats
Finger poppin’ and stompin’ feet
Little dances that look so neat
You see why it will stand”
I suppose we should be thankful for “small” mercies
