"Can't you see that I'm lonely?"
Although I have known of this classic in soul music for several years, I never knew who Fontella Bass was until listening to "Theme de Yoyo" by Art Ensemble of Chicago. Bass has an amazing voice coming out of the church. Listen to her pleading voice for someone's tender charms on "Rescue Me" and you will hear what I'm saying. And that funky bass! She's pure soul, and undeniable talent.
Also, a friend shared this clip of Seinfeld from season 4 when Kramer was mistaken for a murderer in Los Angeles. This scene actually predicts some of the callous and childish behavior of the Seinfeld crew that kinda makes the disappointing series finale plausible. Even this far back in the show, the group realized they were not quite good people, celebrating the fact that the murderer struck again while Kramer was in custody. But I always loved this mini story arc in season 4! It's nice to see Jerry, George, and Kramer outside of New York and 'living' it up in LA.
