Midweek Makeover: My Woman’s Edition

Tonight’s post has been stolen, wholesale. From someone you should be reading, if you care at all about music (hey, I *did* have a music audience. Maybe two.). But, in keeping with the theme of tonight’s post, I will treat her like my woman and not even blockquote the stolen material. Which could have been written by me, anyway. But everything after this? Is not.

I am going to pretend this was just such a well known secret that no one thought of actually talking about it, and so there was no possible way for me to know it, without stumbling across it through sheer dumb luck. Because how could I not know this most essential information about a song I’ve loved since I heard the very first bar? (I mean, it’s practically the first thing you read when you look up Your Woman in wiki.)

The awesome original discovered only this very night:

My Woman – Al Bowlly

and the equally awesome song that sampled the original. Not to mention–intentionally or not–how well the lyrics go together.

And Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth’s T.R.O.Y, which will get almost any head nodding:


The hip-hop golden age, for me.
