Johnny Adams - Salt of The Earth
youtu.be
A great Blues Vocalist who also had some Soul. My preferred version of this hit by the Rolling Stones and others.

Post your anthems! My first contribution is Johnny Adams improving an old Stones song significantly.

"Laten John Adams Jr. (January 5, 1932 – September 14, 1998),was an American blues, jazz and gospel singer, known as "The Tan Canary" for the multi-octave range of his singing voice, his swooping vocal mannerisms and falsetto. His biggest hits were his versions of "Release Me" and "Reconsider Me" in the late 1960s."

    Cool tune! I've added it to the playlist!

    I think I first heard Johnny Adams in the Caribbean, in Jamaica and other English speaking islands its kind of a new years evergreen, got people firing guns in the air, beating on fences and walls, all of that.
