I have several box sets of older Rhythm and Blues songs. There's the two Motown box sets Hitsville USA 1959-1971 and Hitsville USA 1972-1992 (8 CDs total), the Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974 Box Set (8 CDs), the Stax-Volt Complete Singles 1959-1968 Box Set (9 CDs), the The Philly Sound ('66-'76) (3 CDs) and the Rhino box set, entitled "Beg, Scream and Shout" (6 CDs).
Many of these lyrics are difficult to find on the internet, so I decided to transcribe the ones I could never find. I'm making slow progress, but I'll share what I have. As an experiment, you can snag all the 846 files on these 2 pages (updated 10/29/00) in zip format. (Note: many of the links on these pages are cross-linked to my "Nice Decade" 70's music page; it has its own zip file.)
If there's an asterisk (*) at the end of the link, I'm either looking for the lyric, or it's on my "to do" list to transcribe:
