Pimps Trying to catch a woman that's weak

So, my mate Coop (who has this awesome blog The Graf with another friend of mine B-Doggg) works with me occasionally came into the office with an awesome play list today.

He called it something like Dancing Soul (not sure bout that, sorry Coop) but it's AMAZING..

Things like Mr Pitiful by Otis Redding and Save Me by Aretha Franklin and Be My Baby by The Ronettes were on it and we were all in such great moods all day just singing along and enjoying ourselves, at work....I know right?? After the past few weeks I had, it was a nice change!

Then Across 1010th Street by Bobby Womack came on. MAN, that song makes me want to be on a balcony somewhere singing my guts out, or driving cross country after some huge disaster like Jackie Brown at the end of the movie.

There is SO much soul in this song full of desperate verses about pimps and hoes but well before rappers were singing about them. I LOVE Hip Hop but there ain't no one who sings about hard times (and pimp) like Bobby in this song.
