Etta James & Sugar Pie DeSanto "In The Basement - Part One" (1966)

Today we have a razor sharp digital 45 from the double dealin' Chess-mates Etta James and the Sugar Pie DeSanto. This ditty has shades of back alley grit and Chicago-blues fire.

Oh, now tell us where can you party patients, all night long? That's right patients, in the asylum basement-that's where it's at.

Basically patients, what this comes down to is that this is one of those long lost stompers from yesteryears past that yer rock 'n roll stethoscopes are always yearnin' to find. On "In The Basement - Part One" Etta and her younger cousin, Sugar Pie go line for line-Etta sings a line and then Sugar Pie comes in and growls through her line. The doctors and nursemaids here at the asylum demand that you turn yerself on to the pistol whipped funk of "In The Basement - Part 1". Dig.

"In the Basement - Part 1" #37 U.S. R&B, #97 U.S. (1966)
