When a Man Loves a...Mosrite.

[Black Headstock]

In support of the Forum's never ending search for obscure Mosrite sightings, check this one out.

Percy Sledge performing the 1966 hit "When a Man Loves a Woman"; his guitarist is playing one big beautiful Joe Maphis. This performance looks like around 1968-69?

One more for the Library.

And of course I must add;

Now that's "Built in Soul"!

Good Mosrite find Alan, the natural JM stands out really well in the group...also one of those songs that'll never die

Good one......but I gotta pick the version that Jim Carrey did on "In Living Color" when he mocked Michael Bolton....when he hit that high note his head exploded.....lol.....

I love these things.
You say, "One more for the Library." Is there an actual library? If not, may I suggest it?

Perhaps a library as a sticky in the Music Related section? I could spend a great deal of time enjoying it!

Is anybody else interested in something of this nature?

Hey Paul,

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, this one really caught my attention because I just never thought of the Mosrite sound driving this distinctive "Soulful" type of music. But man, that big full Joe Maphis semi-hollow body is right on.

I have had my (first) Mosrite since 1981, and as the years go by its clear, Semi's guitars just make every type of music sound better.

That performance is from the short lived R & B / Soul music show called !!!THE BEAT!!! which was taped in Nashville in 1966-1967 and was hosted by DJ Bill "Hoss" Allen and the house band was led by Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. He played an old Rickenbacker IIRC.

The shows are available on DVD from Bear Family in case you want to see more performances which were mostly done live.
