Mink DeVille - Soul Twist/Rolene [1978]

The 45 RPM 7" (pink) Vinyl "Soul Twist/Rolene"' was released Aug 25th 1978. A: Soul Twist (2:32) was written by Willy DeVille and B: Rolene (3:51) was written John "Moon" Martin. He also wrote 'Cadillac Walk', a song on Mink DeVille's previous album, Cabretta. Both songs were taken from the album "RETURN TO MAGENTA" (Capitol). Continued in the vein of the first album, with a mixture of rock, soul, blues, and Latin rhythms. It was produced and arranged by Jack Nitzsche, who also co-wrote a song with DeVille ("Just Your Friends").

Soul Twist Lyrics

I found out the hard way
There was nothin' that she wouldn't do
Everybody says that you better watch out, they say watch out
Watch out for who and how ?

Soul twist, soul twist, you have a soul twist
Twist it right down to your shoes.

And now I'm wanderin' about it
Just what card you're gonna play
You'll take the stakes right from the beginning
Standing there holding your poker face.

You gotta soul twist, soul twist, you gotta soul twist
Twist it right all over your face.

No, I can't say that you haven't pay the price
It shows on your face and in the things that you say
Maybe I don't have the details right
But anyway I would take your place.

You gotta soul twist, soul twist, you gotta soul twist
Twist it right down to your shoes.

You gotta soul twist, you gotta soul twist
You gotta soul twist, you gotta soul twist.

Soul twist, you gotta soul twist
You gotta soul twist, you gotta soul twist
Twist it right down to your shoes
Twist it right down to your shoes.
