1970s R&B Song of the Day: Johnnie Taylor "Jody's Got Your Girl and Gone"

The Soul Philosopher's second No. 1 single is a classic Stax down-home mover with The Dramatics singing background. My favorite part is this refrain where he's telling it like it is:

"Jody leaves ashes in your ash tray,
Footprints on your carpet while you work all day,
He even got the nerve to sleep in your bed,
Sit down at the table, eat your bread.

When you get home after working hard all day,
Jody's got your girl and now he's gone away.
Ain't no sense in going home,
Jody's got your gal and gone."
