Enjoy your CDs with these 7-inch-sized sleeves!\nYou can display the artwork flat or in a frame, or store them neatly. This nostalgic yet innovative packaging—packed with the charm of CDs and liner notes within an analog 7-inch single-sized format—is sure to tickle the collecting instincts of fans.\n\nIs that voice “sacred” or “secular”? The very essence of soul is right here. From the pinnacle of gospel to the depths of the blues. Inheriting the elegance of Sam Cooke, his voice—imbued with a unique “moistness”—sings of the raw reality of a man’s life. Released in 1967 with flawless backing from Memphis’s finest, this is the ultimate manifesto. This record is the final destination for soul fans!\n\nThis album, *Wanted: One Soul Singer*, is a timeless classic revered among deep soul fans as “the quintessential must-have—a must-own for every household.”\nThe star of the show, Johnny Taylor, was no mere newcomer. He was the man who took the helm of the “Soul Stirrers” as the successor to the legendary Sam Cooke and reached the pinnacle of the gospel world. After signing with the prestigious Stax label in 1966, he was quietly honing his craft, even while overshadowed by Otis Redding.\nThe appeal of this album lies in the miraculous balance between the elegant grace inherited from Sam Cooke and the raw, wild “grit” straight out of Memphis. Backing him up are Booker T. \u0026amp; the M.G.’s and the Memphis Horns. Al Jackson Jr.’s rich, “fatback” drumming propels Johnny’s sultry, passionate vocals.\nIn particular, “Sixteen Tons”—a funky reimagining of a labor song—and “Little Bluebird,” which sings of a deep sense of loss, are truly breathtaking. True to the title “Philosopher of Soul” bestowed upon him by Stax, this man—who has tasted both the bitter and the sweet of life—delivers a “sermon” that will transform your room into a genuine soul bar.\nCommentary: All Days Editorial Department\u003c\/old\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.I GOT TO LOVE SOMEBODY'S BABY\u003cbr\u003e2.JUST THE ONE I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR\u003cbr\u003e3.WATERMELON MAN\u003cbr\u003e4.WHERE CAN A MAN GO FROM HERE\u003cbr\u003e5.TOE-HOLD\u003cbr\u003e6.OUTSIDE LOVE\u003cbr\u003e7.AIN'T THAT LOVING YOU (FOR MORE REASONS THAN ONE)\u003cbr\u003e8.BLUES IN THE NIGHT\u003cbr\u003e9.I HAD A DREAM\u003cbr\u003e10.SIXTEEN TONS\u003cbr\u003e11.LITTLE BLUEBIRD.\u003cbr\u003e12.CHANGES(Bonus Track)\u003cbr\u003e13.YOU CAN'T GET AWAY FROM IT(Bonus Track)\u003cbr\u003e14.IF I HAD TO DO IT OVER(Bonus Track)\u003cbr\u003e15.SOMEBODY'S SLEEPING IN MY BED(Bonus Track)\u003cbr\u003e16.STRANGE THINGS (HAPPENING IN MY HEART)(Bonus Track)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oldays Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53048495735073,"sku":"4582239502280","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4582239502280.jpg?v=1784542942","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-au\/products\/4582239502280","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
