I came into to suggest you as the main man for this, but the post threw me!

right-track 11-10-2007 05:15 PM
I think he's saying the mix of 60's R&B with 70's Soul is the best fusion of music ever.

At least I hope he said that cos I'd agree, with the excepton of post punk, but I'd never dare compare the two.

jackhammer 11-10-2007 05:23 PM
You ever checked out a series of Superfly soul compliations on CD? There is some brilliant dirty funk on them. just the sort of thing I love.
Various Superfly Soul CD

A link with streaming. I'm really gagging to get more stuff like this.

The music that I am influenced by, musically. And as a hobby musician. Is the meaning of the thread. Open to any suggestions, opinions, Individual favorite Bands, Artist, etc. Lets start with, Favorite Bands & Artist, From the 60s & 70s ? :offtopic:

right-track 11-10-2007 05:28 PM
That CD is worth the money just for Gil Scott Heron's 'The Bottle' and you can't go wrong with Curtis Mayfield.

jackhammer 11-10-2007 05:30 PM
The Bottle is an amazing track. I adore this album and it only cost me a fiver! If you have any pointers to similar stuff LMK!

60's Geno Washington, Billy Butler, Edwin Starr, JJ Barnes, Isley Brothers, Jackie Wilson, Major Lance.
Far too many to mention.

Special mention for a very under-rated female soul singer...Brenda Holloway. Has the voice of an angel.

right-track 11-10-2007 05:36 PM
Anyone remember Joe Cockers version of 'With A Little Help From My Friends'?
The Beatles cover, the one they used for the Wonder Years TV serial. Brenda Holloway and her sister Patrice were the backing singers.

Necromancer 11-10-2007 05:44 PM
Wish I had the knowledge. And the influence's, era's, etc. As you people's have. Thank's for info!...., I am still in the learning 'stage'. At thinking before I post, Literature, Self control, Reading, Communicating, With God & Satan, etc., And with a little knowledge, finess, Craft, etc. (Is an Art), Within One's self.

right-track 11-10-2007 06:01 PM
I don't mean to come over as a know all VB, it's just my enthusiasm for 60's R&B, coupled with the fact that there aren't too many members here I get to chat it over with.

VocalsBass, if your a bass player you must be a fan of James Jamerson. Any particular Jamerson pieces are favourites of yours?

Necromancer 11-10-2007 06:08 PM
No I havent'! THANK'S BRO, For the info.

djchameleon 11-11-2007 04:14 AM
Vocal Bass, if you are a bass player you definitely should listen to Sly & the Family Stone. Larry Graham and his playing is just pure awesome....I think he was the one that invited the slap technique but I'm not totally sure.

You know I think I was able to decipher this and you know why alot of people like Kanye West? He samples 70s Soul. He goes off to his mother to give him suggestions and he finds B-sides to old records so he can sample the sound

I think this cover is brilliant.

right-track 11-11-2007 10:24 AM
It's one of those rare covers to best the original.
It doesn't happen often in my opinion, as I'm a fan of originals as a rule, but when it does happen it has to be pretty special and the amount of feeling he puts into that song surpasses the Beatles effort by a mile.

Yeah I agree. Hendrix's All Along The Watchtower is another rare better cover.

The soul is within all of us. :afro:

Necromancer 11-13-2007 04:54 PM
I heard a good duo from the mid-60s. It was 'No matter How Hard It Get's'. - Tina Clark & Gary Prim. Is anyone familiar with these two artist? I go back as far as, 70s/Soul. Even then, I am only familiar with half or less. Of the band's, let alone, artist. Thank's for all the previous info....Peace.

right-track 11-13-2007 05:21 PM
Can't say I've ever heard of them. Do you know of any other material by either of them? Together or seperately.

There's a Connie Clarke and a Shellie Clarke, but never heard of a Tina.

I got the song off the DVD/Movie, The Five Heart beats. The closing song. I've got to have the soundtrack! Every artist & song on the movie is classic R&B. Got the artist's name & title off the movie credits, today. Could had misread the title & name?

right-track 11-14-2007 02:33 PM
Could the song your looking for be, 'We Haven't Finished Yet' by Patti Labelle?

No matter how hard it gets we haven't finished yet there's so much of life ahead we got so much to do
No matter how hard we try
We just can't say goodbye
Don't leave me with regrets
cause we haven't finished yet

Necromancer 11-15-2007 03:42 AM
That is it! RT. Would you know who the male vocalist is, singing duo with Labelle? Another question is. Did Patti Labelle do the song 'My House'? She is one of my favorite female artist. Thanks!

Night_Lamp 11-15-2007 10:18 AM
Parliment are awesome, so is Mayfield, but I LOVE, 'What's Goin' On' Marvin ***e's masterpiece. It is dark jazzy and funky. Great flow to the album.
Untill I joined these forums, I didn't know that the bass player was Jamerson. He's very good and I love his style. He and Bootsy rule the funky bottom end.

Marvin ***e - Sexual Healing & Whats Going On. Wow! I agree it doesnt get much better than MG. His stage performance ruled R&B/Soul, just as much as his songs did. - 'We Want The Funk', 'Flashlight', etc. ('The Way of the World', 'Groove Tonight' etc) by, Earth, Wind & Fire. Has always been one of my favorite's of that era. Alot of great Soul & Funk, from the 60s & 70s.

Urban Hat€monger ? 11-15-2007 12:45 PM
I'd say it doesn't get any better than THIS ...

I've ran a check on this and it appears the film version (the version you heard) was sung by a young actress/singer called Tressa Thomas.
She recorded a trio rendition with LaBelle and Billy Valentine for the movie.
And 'My House' (A Heart Is A House For Love?) was by the Dells.

Necromancer 11-15-2007 03:54 PM
Thanks RT. I made some time to recheck the credits on some songs for the movie sountrack also. Nothing But Love - 5 Heartbeats, Billy Valentine, lead vocals / Baby Stop Running Around - Bird & The Midnight Falcons, Michael Baker, lead vocals / Ready Or Not Here I Come - The Delfanatics / A Heart Is A House For Love - 5 Heartbeats, Billy Valentine, lead Vocals. Movie was based on the bands. The Temptations / The Dells / The Spinners / The Four Tops, etc.

Necromancer 11-16-2007 04:53 AM
I Got'cha - Joe Tex. / I Wish It Would Rain - Temptations - Papa Was A Rolling Stone.

Necromancer 11-20-2007 03:23 PM
I will add to the 60s R&B/Soul list. Otis Redding, Smokey Robinson, Ray Charles, Al Green, Kool & The Gang,(70s & 80s era). Anymore suggestions from anyone else? Any era! etc. Completly open thread to anything that relates to R&B/Soul, etc.

right-track 11-20-2007 03:24 PM
Ever heard of Northern Soul VB?

Necromancer 11-20-2007 03:29 PM
No Bro, will write it down on my list of music to get. Thank's

jackhammer 11-20-2007 03:32 PM
You will be collecting forever if it's northern Soul you are after. Talking of Northern Soul, i'm really after the track that Fatboy Slim's Rockafella Skank used as it's main rythmn. I used to have it on a Northern Soul starter CD that I somehow lost-very unlike me.
