Otis Clay - Trying to Live My Life Without You (1972)
Classic soul produced by Willie Mitchell for Hi Records.  You do have to wonder how Otis was still alive after smoking 5 packs a day and drinking four or five bottles a wine.

Live theater in the His Dark Materials universe must be wild. Surely an actor's daemon also has lines to recite, so their daemon's form probably also factors into casting decisions. Maybe some plays have vague character descriptions for daemons, but I bet other plays have really specific or central daemon characters. And sure, big-budget theaters can afford to hire a separate actor with a particular daemon to stand backstage while their daemon plays its part onstage, but community theaters don't have those kinds of resources.
Like if you're casting for Julius Caesar, surely the real historical Caesar had a pretty iconic daemon, right? Are you going to cast an actor with a pigeon daemon as Caesar and just have everyone suspend their disbelief that it's Caesar's lioness, ἁμαρτία?

-Recording begins-
Spider-Man: Hi folks! I’d like to give a PSA to my usual villains, and anyone else with ideas for the next two months.
Spider-Man: *holds up a brick sized lump of metal* See this? It’s titanium!
Spider-Man: *starts flattening it out and shaping it*
Spider-Man: See, we all know that I’m crazy strong, but I never wanna really hurt anybody right? Right. While that hasn’t changed, something very important does right around this time of year.
Spider-Man: *pulls off a glove and pulls a chunk into a long stem with his nails carving lines for added texture*
Spider-Man: See, this is what we like to call exam season. Anybody who knows anything about college can tell you that it drives people up the wall, and I already climb mine when I’m antsy.
Spider-Man: *starts winding the thin sheet around the stem, delicately crimping petals in place*
Spider-Man: I do wanna be clear that this isn’t a threat, okay? I’m still not interested in crossing the line, which brings me to my point.
Spider-Man: *throws the titanium rose at the brick wall behind him, stem first, and embeds it all the way through*
Spider-Man: /That/ was restrained because I could focus enough to have full control. If I’m extremely tired or otherwise distracted, there’s just as much risk of me slipping up as someone operating heavy machinery. I’m probably not going to remember what sleep is for two whole months, so remember!
Spider-Man: *pulls out a brick and snaps it like a cookie*
Peter fucking Parker: Don’t.

 "Cry, Cry, Cry”
This is pretty neat.
Okay, so this is a cover of a Johnny Cash song, his first single actually, which hit Number 14 on the Country charts in 1956. Tommy Ray Tucker (credited here with his middle name so as to not confuse him with “Hi-Heel Sneakers” Tommy Tucker) was a Memphis boy who was one of the thousands of greasy-haired hopefuls who came to the city by the river after the Sun rose on the newly crowned King.
He first caught the ear of Memphis svengali “Cowboy” Jack Clement, who’d recently been fired from Sun Records. He recorded Tucker’s debut single “Lovin’ Lil/A Man In Love,” co-written by rockabilly wildman Charlie Feathers. Clement encouraged the young singer to sound as much like the Man In Black as he could, and by golly, he did. He sounds more like Johnny Cash than Johnny’s own brother Tommy did, but that’s neither here nor there.
Tucker’s second single “Miller’s Cave,” written by Clement, has become something of a country standard with charting covers from Hank Snow (#9) in 1960 and Bobby Bary (#4) in 1964. Both of these singles were released on Hi Records, which would later be known as the second home of Memphis Soul thanks to Willie Mitchell, Al Green, Syl Johnson, and Ann Peebles. At the time, it was the second home of Memphis rock & roll, taking a lot of the folks who were either cut from or ignored by Sun Records. They didn’t produce a mess of charting hits but it was the rare jukebox in the South that didn’t have its share of Hi Records singles from Carl McVoy or Jumpin’ Gene Simmons.
Like I said, Clement encouraged Tucker to sound like Cash, and this cumulated in a sequel to Johnny Cash’s 1958 Number One smash “Ballad of a Teenage Queen.” Also written by Clement, Tucker cut “Return of The Teenage Queen” in late 1960. Even better, Clement had just been hired by Chet Atkins to work his magic at RCA Nashville and brought Tucker with him.
While it didn’t make any chart noise, things were looking up for Tucker. Unfortunately, while racing on Highway 61 outside Memphis in his ‘57 Olds the next year, Tucker rear-ended another driver. That driver’s car spun into another, resulting in four deaths. Tucker ran from the scene and called his manager Eddie Boyd (another Nashville stalwart, notable for rejecting Elvis Presley just before the latter cut his first single for Sun).
Tucker was sentenced to a year for manslaughter, doing nine months for good behavior. RCA dropped him like a bad habit and he remained on the fringes of Nashville and Memphis music since. This low-down, R&B-flavored cover of Cash’s “Cry, Cry, Cry” was cut in 1965 for the Challenge Label (founded by singing cowboy Gene Autry) and produced by another Memphis music legend Stan Kesler. He wrote some songs Elvis recorded.
Interestingly, Tucker would record two more times with Hi Records. Once was in 1968 backed by the famous Hi Rhythm Section (remember what I said about  Al Green?) and the duality of the tunes sort of fits the man as a whole, I think. He cut a fairly standard version of the country nugget “Shackles & Chains” that harkens back to his days as a Cash impersonator. However, the real jewel was a low-down, harmonica-drenched version of Jimmy Reed’s “Shame, Shame, Shame” which gives Tony Joe White a run for his money when it comes to swamp funk.
One of his last recordings was in 1975 and for Hi’s attempts at selling records to a country market. Everyone did this, mind. Motown, Stax, Casablanca, they all tried to sell country records and didn’t. His last song was entitled “You Hitched Your Wagon To a Loser.” I’ve never heard it but I want to because, goddamn, if that ain’t a country song.
Tucker died in 1985 after falling asleep with a cigarette. His apartment caught fire and he died of smoke inhalation. There was a collection of his Memphis recordings released on LP but that’s it. I first heard him from the 1999 two-disc collection Hi Records: The Early Years and as far as I know, that’s the only place you can find him.
 Damn shame and this is a good tune. Dig it.
