A Little Black and White Romance: Fire, Fine Wine, and a Footrub

So, I let it be overshadowed on the last post (about the death Teddy Pendergrass) that I had finally released another AMX mix.
Said Teddy Track is on said mix:
"AMX: Black Mask McGuffin".
Inspired by the smooth smoothness on the Pulp Fiction Soundtrack.

Oh man, Oh my: this mix is a real slow burnin' gem. A diamond: ice.
Fire and Ice.





Also on the mix is no not one, but 2! (two) Jerry Butler songs.



You know I love this man; I've posted already about him. So I will hold my tongue
(which is really difficult for me to do! Not my fault! The tongue is actually 16 different muscles, okay, so that makes it tough to restrain!)
for now on him, and turn to the broader description of the mix.

Basically
(although there is nothing basic about this mix: complex, like a fine wine),
this mix takes Al Green-esque classy, clean, clearly superior soulful R'n'B, and alternates that with honky-tonkin', hominy-eatin', hometown classic country. Trying to capture some of that slowed-down, down-home soul, from both sides.
As Chubby Checker says, "What a combination it would be!"
On both sides we have romantic tunes that 'be honest', 'be real'. They'll make you feel like 'a pretty woman', a 'sexy mama', 'when you're alone'.
So we have Mia and Marcel, mixing it up together, on this mix.
See how romantic and how sexy black and white can be?

AMX: Black Mask McGuffin--- Mia and Marcel Wallace, giving each other a little musical footrub.
Or is 'musical footrub' gross?
