    For the first time in this series, we dedicate an entire show (well, almost) to the crew at American Records.

    This covers the era when the musicians and producers started to realize that they were becoming some of the most important players of the entire music scene, with their work hitting the charts with regularity. Their names remained unknown to the average fan, but just about everybody in the world who listened to American popular music were hearing their work. Here’s part of the reason why;

    1. I’m in Love – Wilson Pickett
    2. Don’t Cry No More – Wilson Pickett
    3. What Is This – Bobby Womack
    4. Memphis Soul Stew – King Curtis
    5. Soul Serenade – Aretha Franklin
    6. Soul Serenade – Willie Mitchell
    7. I Wonder – Aretha Franklin
    8. Going Down Slow – Aretha Franklin
    9. Baby I Love You – Aretha Franklin
    10. Sweet Inspiration – The Sweet Inspirations
    11. Blues Stay Away from Me – The Sweet Inspirations
