Of course some songs sound better to us at particular times in our life, and perhaps it is because I am marrying the love of my life next Friday, but right now this song simply sounds like the greatest one ever recorded to my ears. But to be fair, if I were pressed, I could easily rattle off a few hundred songs within a few minutes that could be classified as the greatest ever. And that's not discounting the majesty of this particular track one bit.
Journeymen performers Mel & Tim hit big with the great "Backfield In Motion" in 1969, after traveling from their home in Mississippi to Chicago where they fell under the wing of (hero) Gene Chandler. By the early 70's, the duo were recording for Stax, and for some inexplicable reason this record was not the massive success that it deserved to be.
from 1973...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
indeed! many many many congrats on your upcoming matrimonial festivities.
married life takes some getting used to but (if administered in limited daily doses by the correct vis-a-vis person), is a true benefit to a man's life *evil grin*.
have one on me!
Well!, there's something you don't just drop into a conversation everyday. Many congratulations and very best wishes. Oh, and thanks for all the great posts..
Great news. All the best for a glorious adventure!
Great tune Derek and congrats on your forthcoming nuptials,Have a listen to Nicky Lee "The Ten Commandments Of Men" for your vows.
how sweet. congratulations and my best wishes for the both of you!
Congrats....I'm sure it'll be a great party. Gonna spin a set yourself or leave it all to others?
Thanks Ana! I am *definitely* spinning a set at the reception, alongside some of my other good friends. Gonna be a splendid party!
thank you EVERYONE!
Probably an obvious suggestion, but if you're at all sentimental be sure and pull a copy of those sets off the mixer.
The DJ mixes from my reception turned out to mean as much to me as the photos.
For that matter, I'd love to hear what the groom plays on such an occasion. I'm sure others would too.
I definitely will do that, Ana!
