Johnnie Taylor was a recording artist and songwriter who performed a wide variety of genres, from blues, rhythm and blues, soul, and gospel to pop, doo-wop, and disco.

I want to talk about Johnnie’s song, Everything Is Out In the Open. The song was on the label Malaco Records. It was released in 1988. When I hear the song, I hear blues, rhythm and blues, and soul. It’s a beautiful song.

It was sampled by a rapper named BonSoul and another rapper named PMM. I’m not familiar with them but they must have thought that it was a great song too.

The song is about two people that were together in love but there were disappointments and it got all out in the open. The two lovers that were joined together before a judge were taken apart. According to the lyrics, it sounds like a married couple.

The song, “Everything’s Out In The Open” is a great song for blues. It can reach someone that is going through divorce and lovers that are not married too. When everything gets out in the open, everybody’s whispering and everybody knows.

Listen to the song today by Johnnie Taylor, Everything’s Out In The Open. I’m Gail Nobles. You’re listening to Podcast and Blues.
