Niet dat de smaak van Edgar zo duidelijk omlijnd is, maar goed, laat ik hem maar eens een handje helpen met Joe Tex dan. Ondanks het feit dat hij Shuggie Otis eruit heeft gestemd en dat deze zodoende de top 25 niet nogmaals gaat halen. Spijtig.

Tja, het is maar wat je 'er uit stemmen' noemt. Had jij hem bovenaan je lijstje gezet dan.....

Op the Whispers na louter ijzersterke songs

Mwoah. Je had er voor kunnen kiezen om meer puntjes te geven aan Shuggie en zodoende hem door te laten. Ik geef nu +6 aan Joe en zodoende gaat die door naar herkansing, maar die van Gil vind ik eigenlijk mooier.

Vergeet niet dat ik om 11 uur 's ochtends stemde. Ik ging er vanuit dat er nog wel één of twee mensen na me zouden komen.

Weet je dat ik jouw - na de deadline - stemmen in ladder 7 de kutste vind van de hele ronde. Je stemt daar nog even King Floyd (schitterend nummer hoor, daar niet van) voorbij het nog iets mooiere Cold Little Heart en Another Man's Woman. Dat deed wel pijn.

L17: Sam Dees is favoriet maar ik ga mijn Whispers nominatie ook een handje helpen. Een van de weinige niet 60's/70's soultracks die nog in het spel zitten. De klassieker van Frederick Knight mag best nog een rondje mee - al leeft ie wel iets boven zijn stand - maar moet het toch afleggen tegen dit prima nummer van Ann Peebles.

L18: Rainbow Road is zo prachtig, die laat zelfs Inner City Blues achter zich. Helaas niet zoveel steun voor het eveneens erg mooie Cry To Me. Curtis heeft flink wat betere en James Brown is niet zo mijn ding.

Ladder 19 is een hersenkraker. Die ultieme klassiekers, een mooi verstild nummer van Donny Hathaway en het fijne Taxi wat ik deze editie heb leren kennen en ben gaan waarderen.

Laat ik die matige song dan maar zijn eerste punten geven. Een onvervalste klassieker die ik nog steeds graag hoor. Scott-Heron en Withers hebben (veel) betere nummers dan deze en zijn bovendien al ruim vertegenwoordigd in de volgende ronde. Al Green zie ik wel heel graag doorgaan, dit is zijn enige song in ronde 6.

Nu we bij de laatste ladder van deze ronde zijn heb ik eens gekeken hoe we gestemd hebben. Een ding is wel heel duidelijk, het zijn de mannen die het doen. Yvonne Fair is de enige vrouw die zich heeft geplaatst voor de volgende ronde. Daar kunnen Ann Peebles en Aretha Franklin nog bijkomen via de herkansingen.

De artiesten die nog (zeer) ruim vertegenwoordigd zijn:

Sam Dees 6x
Bill Withers 4x (+ 1x herkansing)
James Carr 4x
Curtis Mayfield 3x (+ 2x herkansing)
Gil Scott-Heron 3x (+ 1x herkansing)
Otis Redding 3x (+ 1x herkansing)
Stevie Wonder 2x (+ 1x herkansing)
