right-track

Your taste is impeccable, VEGAN. Your ear too.
What you have to understand is that songs like these were often recorded in one take.
It makes her performance all the more impressive.



^ In this track she makes a slight mistake, singing spy instead of fly at about 1:14.
I'd like to see some modern "soul singers" attempt this one without going blue in the face and passing out before the end of the song.
Possibly my favourite female soul singer of all time.

Will you marry me?

The Fascinating Turnip

Here's a tune that blows my mind:


The pairing of a fantastic voice with a really bouncy, danceable tune. Terrific.

If you're really into classic soul this is my favourite soul show here in Melbourne.

3PBS - Soul Time

Musicwhore A-Z

'War'- Edwin Starr

'Ball Of Confusion'- The Temptations

'For The Love Of Money'- The O' Jays

'What's Going On?'- Marvin Gaye

'Superstition'- Stevie Wonder

'Chocolate City'- Parliament

I prefer when the soul ROCKED! 1970-1973 were pivotal years in soul music at the time, in my opinion.

Ahhh mannnn, best of the 60's/70's?
I could go DEEEEEP here....but since I'm a newbie, I'll work my way up respectfully.

Rather than go with the obvious, I'll start off with the small/mid-level labels along with classic artists/groups such as;

Fantasy Records- Side Effects (Always There)//Pleasure (Bouncy Lady)//The BlackByrds (Rock Creek Park; BlackByrds Theme)

Warner Bros- Tower of Power (What Is Hip)

Polydor- James Brown (Sex Machine; I could go on....)

Tamla- Eddie Kendricks (Girl You Need A Change of Mind)

Original Records- Dike & The Blazers (Let a Woman Be a Woman & Let a Man Be a Man....) [a record sampled many times by both rap groups & today artists- check it out on YouTube]

I'll stop here & continue in the future.....thanks!
