Luther Ingram - If Loving You is Wrong...

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWAUCVbnDUg&w=700] Brilliant song to blast, this one. Sore and raw and beautiful. Nothing wrong with a bit of Wattstax/Koko. Luther Ingram didn't make a record until he was 28 (in 1965). This is his best known song - it was later covered by Isaac Hayes (who Ingram often opened for), Millie Jackson, Rod Stewart etc.

He had a song called Exus Trek that was huge with the Northern Soul cats too - well worth a listen. Rocking. Plus, when it came to leather waistcoats and slightly odd hair styles, he really knew what he was talking about.
