Johnnie Taylor - Soul Heaven Lyrics
Last night I dreamed I was at a concertSo many people, you had to stand in lineOne night only in Soul HeavenI didn't wanna wake upI was having such a good timeAll of The Bar-Kays were tuning up on stageJimi had his guitar, gettin' ready to playSam was singing "A Change Gonna Come"Otis was there, sittin' at the dock of the bayThere was a party in Soul HeavenSuperstars from the pastStanding room only, so you better hurryBuy your ticket cause they're going fastTrain & Miles (J. Coltrane, took mean soloJr. Walker had 'em dancing in the islesThey stood up when Jackie sang "Lonley Teardrops"When Sammy (Davis, Jr.) danced, the crowd went wildI think I saw Ella standing with MahaliaBackstage with Elvis with his blue suede shoesIt started raining, everybody just stayed thereTo hear Z.Z. sing the "Down Home Blues"Well there's a party in Soul HeavenSuperstars from the pastStanding room only, so you better hurryBuy your ticket cause they're going fastThere's a party in Soul HeavenSuperstars from the pastThe great Al Jackson was a holding down the beatWhen Marvin sang "Let's Get It On", they jumped toTheir feetEveryone started screaming and gave a standing ovationWhen the curtain came up with the mighty TemptationsKing Curtis blew the "Soul Serenade"Thought I saw Lady Day (B. Holiday) sittin' in theShadeI got two lovers and I ain't ashamedLord I love the way sweet Mary (Wells) singsIt was getting kinda late, it was time to goTupac and Biggie (Smalls), they closed the show(Boo! )I didn't wanna wake up, I was having such a good timeI didn't wanna wake up, I was having such a good timePearl Bailey, she was thereDuke and Count, they were thereWoah Hathaway (Donnie), I saw him thereDizzie and Satchmo, I saw 'em thereIt was a party in Soul HeavenYou shoulda been thereYou shoulda been thereEveryone was having such a good timeSoul HeavenSoul Heaven
