Good Monday Moanin'!

Maurice & Mac - Ain't No Harm to Moan

The Chicago soul duo Maurice & Mac have been recently featured on this blog, so I'll cut right to the chase with today's selection. "Ain't No Harm to Moan" was the B-side of the duo's final single, released on the Brown Sugar label. The fine Chicago soul groove, coupled with the hum-along chorus and Maurice MacAllister's mid-song monologue, make for a fine record that was easily overlooked upon its 1972 release but certainly worth a second look.

About "Get on Down" and "Soul on the Air"

Although "Get on Down with the Stepfather of Soul!" was conceived as a rare soul blog, it has evolved into being the Web's best source for '60s and '70s soul radio broadcasts, known as airchecks, thanks to the "Soul on the Air" series. With that in mind, the original blog concept has been retired (see this blog post for more information). This blog is now dedicated to the "Soul on the Air" features, which are listed below. Enjoy!
