Famously, this song was first offered to Aretha Franklin and was turned down. She recorded it later, but it was a bigger hit for Dusty Springfield. Classic Memphis sound with Dusty's sultry vocals, win-win.

Song of the Day: Didn't I (RIP Darondo)
Didn't I has been a staple of my sweet soul wedding dinner and cocktail hour sets for quite a while. Though Darondo spent most of his career in obscurity his work was re-released in 2006 and he began to get the notice he deserved. Read more about his resurgence and passing on the fantastic Soul-Sides blog.
RIP Darondo, and thanks for the music.

Got to Give it Up to the Don of Soul
RIP to Don Cornelius host and creator of Soul Train, quite possibly the best music program ever on television. In honor of Don Cornelius here is a classic Marvin Gaye performance from the show.
Enjoy!
