Trapped By A Thing Called Love

TCM movies the past 24 hours have not interested me. I had to go to my "top shelf" DVDs.


An iconic scene.

Ora Denise Allen (July 16, 1939 – January 8, 2018), known by the stage name Denise LaSalle, was an American blues, R&B and soul singer, songwriter, and record producer who, since the death of Koko Taylor, had been recognized as the "Queen of the Blues". Her best known songs were "Trapped by a Thing Called Love" and "Down Home Blues".

Supposedly recorded in Memphis, TN. I would have guessed Muscle Shoals, AL. Muscle Shoals is very, very close to Memphis. One wonders.

Geography: The Tennessee River starts in eastern Tennessee before entering Alabama. After entering Alabama it goes north and for a few miles, forms the boundary between Alabama and Mississippi. Then it flows through Tennessee and Kentucky, where it joins with the Ohio River at the city of Paducah, the latter being a very, very important city during the Civil War.

The Tennessee River does not flow into the Mississippi; it discharges into the Ohio River, barely "missing" the Mississippi.

Muscle Shoals sits on the Tennessee River; Memphis, of course, on the Mississippi.
