Thursday music corner: American blues and soul singer Syl Johnson (b. Mississippi, 1936, d. Georgia 2022) is perhaps best known for a song covered by other artists: Is It Because I'm Black (Ken Boothe and Delroy Wilson). He also released a version of Take Me to the River before labelmate Al Green's own single release, recorded with the same band. Johnson released at least 19 studio albums from 1968 to 2010, on a range of labels.
Johnson released his third album Back For a Taste of Your Love in 1973 on Hi Records, featuring Anyway the Wind Blows as track four.
