I Been Down

Margie again. YouTube is working overtime!

Take Me Away Tonight

Another side of Margie Joseph. I think she should have been given much more credit. Very versatile singer.

Make Me Believe You'll Stay

I came across Margie Joseph about a year back but didn't really get down to listening closely. What a great voice and style she has!

Medicine Bend

Margaret Marie Joseph was born in 1950 in Gautier Mississippi and studied drama at Dillard University there.In 1967 a demo at Muscle Shoals Studios led to a deal with Okeh label. In 1969 she moved to Volt, a subsidiary of Stax and produced two albums. After transferring to Atlantic she became compared to Aretha Franklin. Then at Cotillion she hit the charts with a Lamont Dozier production. She left music at this stage and became a teacher but a return to Cotillion produced a #12 RnB.In 2006 she released a Gospel album and remains active today, 2023. Concerning this track I believe Medicine Bend Is a town in South Western USA associated with a Native American settlement. Up tempo at 125 BPM!

Stop! In The Name Of Love

This was one of the biggest hits for The Supremes, in the various lineups of that group. Here a somewhat more Soul style is done by Margie Joseph.

My World Is Empty Without You

Margie Joseph with a dramatic and haunting version of a Motown classic.

I'd Rather Go Blind

Margie puts her stamp on this song which was a big hit for Etta James and also for Ruby Turner.
