A playlist for a May day 

Yesterday my department (at the request of our CEO) threw an afternoon party for the rest of our organization. We all had assigned tasks, and in my case it was to spin the tunes, which in this particular case was a mix of mostly soul, funk, latin, and ska. Here is the music I played while coworkers ate hotdogs and drank Bud on a beautiful afternoon in Virginia.

Cold Bear-The Gaturs
Grazing in the Grass-Hugh Masekela
It's Gonna Rain-Gentleman June Gardner
Mulin' Around-Sugarman Three
How Long Do I Have to Wait-Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings
Mean Man-Betty Harris
The World-Sandi & Mateus
Peter Gunn Mambo-Jack Costanzo
Todos-Nombres
Cosita Linda-Jump with Joey
Hopscotch-Bigger Thomas
He Wants Me Back-Dance Hall Crashers
Doors of Your Heart-English Beat
Dance Wid Me-Hepcat
Friend-Stubborn All-Stars
Tear Drops From My Eyes-New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble
Tommy's Song-Hepcat
Jungle Music-Rico Rodriguez
Mr. Big Stuff-Jean Knight
Running Out-Mabel John
Come Back Baby-Aretha Franklin
Rise and Fall of Flingle Blunt-PJ and the Galaxies
When the Cat's Away-Jr. Wells
Goodbye Stevie-Spencer Davis Group
Coming Home Baby-Mel Torme
Jump Jive and Wail-Louis Prima
Mona-The Toasters
Provocation-Jump With Joey

It was a great afternoon, although I mourn for the wonderful songs left unplayed.
