Great #performance + great #singer @SalvadorDafti Tho sadly #AnnPeebles hasn't performed since a 2012 #stroke Also too many associate this #song w. #TinaTurner like those who don't know that #ErmaFranklin NOT #JanisJoplin sang the original #PieceofMyHeart #Soul #Memphis #improv
Ann Peebles - I Can’t Stand the Rain Three minutes plus of deep-groove Memphis soul, with Ann backed by the legendary Hi Rhythm Section. That’s what I’m talkin’ about. The Midnight Special. 1974.
