But I stumbled across this 2024 video by my long-time hero Dion (who transcends genre) and some drop-dead gorgeous friend of his (lip-synching the part sung on the actual record by Shemekia Copeland) and I just had to share. Sorry, I can only post the link -- if anybody knows how to get the video to show in blogger, lemme know.

In the meantime, seriously -- if that doesn't just blow your tiny mind/make you smile from ear to ear then there's no hope for you. 😎
PS: Okay, here's the official video, with the actual Shemekia, instead of Dion's sexy friend Nicole.
Which was not supposed to be the point of today's post, but what the hell. 😎😎
It's Shemekia Copeland in the video.
ReplyDeleteOh hell, I put up the wrong one. Gonna go fix it.
ReplyDeleteOkay -- I gotta figure out how to post the alternate vid that's one Dion's FB page.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime...
What was wrong with the Shemekia video?
ReplyDeletePut that back up! It's great.
Okay. 😎
DeleteDion is a wonder of music for over 65 years! Post him anytime!!!

Saw Dion around 1990 on bill with Dave Edmunds, Graham Parker, and Kim Wilson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds - that was a good show.
