There is only one possible song that could kick things off here at Revenge Radio – the irresistible ‘In the Basement’ by Etta James & Sugar Pie DeSanto. This was the ‘signature track’ for the last year of my radio show, and is the stock standard opener for most mix CDs that I’ve thrust upon many a poor (un)fortunate soul. Etta and Sugar performed a few numbers together, but this would have to take the cake. Originally released as a single (Etta James & Sugar Pie DeSanto, Cadet 5539 – In The Basement (Part 1) / In The Basement (Part 2) ) the track can also be found on Etta James 1971 record ‘Peaches’ and numerous compilations including ‘Etta James: Her Best’ and the best of Sugar Pie DeSanto’s years with Chess Records ‘Down in the Basement’. If you don’t feel the urge to move your ass to this one, then you’re creepy and have no soul!
