The "B-Sides" - Way Back Wednesday

I get my appreciation for good R&B and Soul music from my mother.  We never had more than two (2) TVs in the house but there's was a radio of some sort in every room...including the bathroom.

Our local music store was called SoundTown & in walking distance from our house.  I remember when "When Doves Cry" was released & she sent me to buy the 45.  Imagine the shock when I saw a purple record!  I couldn't wait to play it...like it was gonna sound differently or something. LOL

She had Peaches crates & milk crates of records on top of records.  She would always play her new purchases from beginning to end - A-Side & B-Side.  There was a lot of good music on the B-sides that never got radio play & unless you (or someone you knew) owned & played the 45 or LP in it's entirety, you would never hear these songs.

I posted my all time fav B-side song yesterday - If I Could Feel That Old Feeling Again by Anita Ward.

What are some of your favorite, never got radio play B-side songs?

Anita Ward - If I Could Feel That Old Feeling Again




This is the B-side of the Ring My Bell 45. I have searched high & low for this one & finally found it on iTunes, now youtube. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG. It never got radio play but mama always played both side of her 45s & LPs so I heard it all. :)

Third World - Now That We Found Love




This was (if I recall correctly) my 1st exposure to reggae & I love this song!

Country Boys




Not really "way back" like my usual Wednesday posts, but a certain country boy was on my mind & I decided to share this with y'all.

You Brought Me Through (I think)

Let me say this, Jennifer had me tears when she sang this song last nite. (Sorry, if that's not the title.) It was VERY emotional for me, as I know what she was probably thinking & feeling as she sang. There's no way I could've done the same. She's truly a gem. Her Angels were definitely smiling upon her last night.
