Here's somebody who was in not one, but two Oscar-nominated flicks, including the real actual Best Picture winner. Look at me being all super-timely.

Parliament Funkadelic – One Nation Under a Groove
Michael Kiwanuka – Black Man in a White World
Michael Kiwanuka's Love & Hate is one of my favorite albums of the year, and the above cut seems particularly apt social commentary and a fitting spin after Pepper's selection yesterday. If you're inclined, the live studio track below is excellent, but I didn't think it qualified by the (unofficial?) live recording convention for WGOM videos.
Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings – I’ll Still Be True
Insatiable, 2016 continues its grizzy quest to remove happiness from the world.
Nina Simone – I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl
1967
Lee Fields and the Expressions – Just Can’t Win
We'll do this as long as we have to...
2014
This is a pretty groovy song, actually.
The Internet – Gabby
Because The Internet. No, wait, that's not right...

L-O-V-E (Love) – Al Green
Always liked this tune. Happy Love Day, you guys.
1975
Earth, Wind & Fire – That’s The Way of The World
RIP Maurice White. Title track of the first LP I ever bought. Still an amazing record.

(Man, I need to see if this movie is available anywhere.)
Otis Clay – Trying To Live My Life Without You
This is actually another sad passing to note. Otis Clay was a heavy on the Chicago scene and will be missed.
1972
Sound familiar? That because Don Henley, the recently deceased Glenn Frey, and the Eagles fairly brazenly ripped it off for "The Long Run".
