Description

Stax Records' lifetime retrospective of Johnnie Taylor's work is a compilation full of treasures: It includes not only Taylor's well known solo recordings for Stax (1966-1975) with famous backing support from Booker T. & The MG's and Isaac Hayes. It also contains some earlier works with The Soul Stirrers, of course some previously unreleased tracks, just a few takes from his disco era and also his late recordings for Malaco Records. The final song of this compilation is 'Soul Heaven', the final song from his final album 'Gotta Get The Groove Back' - released a few months before his death. The lyrics are comforting but also a little creepy:

Last night I dreamed I was at a concert
So many people, you had to stand in line
One night only in Soul Heaven
I didn't wanna wake up
I was having such a good time
All of The Bar-Kays were tuning up on stageon
Jimi had his guitar, gettin' ready to play
Sam was singing "A Change Gonna Come"
Otis was there, sittin' on the dock of the bay

There was a party in Soul Heaven
Superstars from the past
Standing room only, so you better hurry
Buy your ticket cause they're going fast

Train & Miles took a mean solo
Jr. Walker had 'em dancing in the aisles (Shoot 'em for he run now)
They stood up when Jackie sang "Lonley Teardrops"
When Sammy danced, the crowd went wild (Mr. Bojangles)
I thought I saw Ella standing with Mahalia
Backstage was Elvis with his blue suede shoes
It started raining, everybody just stayed there
To hear Z.Z. sing the "Down Home Blues"

Well there's a party in Soul Heaven
Superstars from the past
Standing room only, so you better hurry
Buy your ticket cause they're going fast

There's a party in Soul Heaven
Superstars from the past
The great Al Jackson was a holding down the beat
When Marvin sang "Let's Get It On", they jumped to
Their feet
Everyone started screaming and gave a standing ovation
When the curtain came up with the mighty Temptations
King Curtis blew the "Soul Serenade"
Thought I saw Lady Day sittin' in the
Shade
I got two lovers and I ain't ashamed
Lord I love the way sweet Mary sings
It was getting kinda late, it was time to go
Tupac and Biggie, they closed the show

I didn't wanna wake up, I was having such a good time
I didn't wanna wake up, I was having a good time
Pearl Bailey, she was there
Duke and Count, they were there
Woah Donnie Hathaway, I saw him there
Dizzie and Satchmo, I saw 'em there
It was a party in Soul Heaven
You shoulda been there
You shoulda been there
Everybody was having such a good time
Soul Heaven
Soul Heaven
