Our team of experts has concluded that Ernie K Doe's "Mother-In-Law" is the greatest song ever recorded.  Written by Allen Toussaint and featuring Benny Spellman's perfect back-up singing, it sounds fresh and inspiring after repeated listenings.  Thanks for the magic.

Joe Tex month day 11: Ernie K-Doe-Nus Cut!

In which we all learn that a h-o-m-e without l-o-v-e is just a h-o-u-s-e.  Excellent 1963 B-side by the one and only Ernie K-Doe, penned by Joe Tex and never recorded by anyone else that I know of.
