When the Raylette Marjorie Hendricks starts screaming &#8220;BAAAY-BAAAYeee&#8221; repeatedly I get the goosebumps. The excellent notes inside the gatefold cover describe her singing as &#8220;powerful soulfulness-bordering-on-hysteria.&#8221; It doesn&#8217;t get any better than that for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is another record I inherited from my friend Bob Bob(ala).
