Doris Duke
"The Feeling Is Right"
"I Wish I Could Sleep"
I'm a Loser / A Legend in Her Own Time
(Kent Soul, 2005; rec. 1970 & 1975)

"It's 4 a.m. / Tuesday night / My life is filled with gloom."

Doris, honey, I rocked a 4 a.m. sheep-counting shift myself last night. My pally J.S., she's been seeing daybreak, too. It's not all bad, and sometimes the feeling is right---especially when you hear a bass line that's so damn tite. But no matter what, baby, you're not a loser---though it's a great effin' title for an album. Or a song. Though in this case, there's not even a title track; it's just a straight-up declaration from a mighty sad Double D.

But oh, Lord, tonight I wish that I could sleep.

Download two more tracks from Our Kid London Lee, #1 Soul Bro in Heaven. Buy this 25-track, two-fer-one CD of classic deep soul. Read about Doris here and here.

Then please, Mr & Mrs. Owl Eyes: get some shuteye.
