This was huge in the UK Northern Soul movement in the early 70's where British soul fans dug out 'failed' but great Soul tracks and danced all night to them. Search Northern Soul to see. One fantstic example on the more mellow side is Bobby Sheen Something new to do, check it out!!

Mr. AL Wilson, Rhythm and Blues with Soul. Always enjoyed his music. Slow Dance or grooving on the floor. I remember buying my first pair of Bell Bottom Jeans. I was 14. I was so cool( well I thought I was ). Back in those days we wore jeans until they were wholly in knees and raggedy on the bottom. There was no buying them that way. BJ why would you wear that silly hat while you're sitting next to such a lovely lady. Edgar Winter - Frankenstein. The video. Crazy talent. Sinatra- That's Life. Steely Dan - Peg, Babylon Sisters, Aja, Kid Charlemagne, Only a Fool Would Say That.

I've been asking reactors to do this song forever and no one has. So a big thank you for doing this. I love this song. I hate to say it but sometimes I've been the snake and somtimes I've been bitten. I guess that's karma.
@TheOriginalRick Жыл бұрын
First heard this as a 15 year old in about 1967/8 from a different artist who charted with it. Made a deep impression upon me in terms of understanding just how the world really worked in reality. BJ is right about inviting the wrong people into your life, but it goes much broader than that. There are multitudes of various snakes out there just waiting to give you that good bite because you were sucker enough to not believe who they were or that they would not turn on you. Be careful and wise.

The other artist may have been Oscar Brown, Jr. who wrote this song and released it in 1963 or Johnny Rivers who also covered it in 1968.

"The Snake" is a song written and first recorded by civil-rights activist Oscar Brown in 1963; it became a hit single for American singer Al Wilson in 1968. In the U.S., the hit version of "The Snake" was released in 1968, on Johnny Rivers' Soul City Records..Wikipedia

I believe it was originally written as a protest song, but it could be thought of in a number of ways. Certainly politically, but also with women who get in relationships with abusive men.
