Theresa Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 My faves are from the 90s: 3. Optimistic - Sounds of Blackness 2. Somewhere, Somehow There's A Soul Heaven - Deep Sensation 1. What The Child Needs - Terry Ronald But if I was going for 70s, it'd have to be: 3. Spread Love - Al Hudson 2. What's Your Name - Leon Ware 1. Charade - Four Tracks I've got a million in the constantly changing lists in my head, but these 6 have all been consistently top ten for a very long time. Thanks to Adam for playing a couple of them last night without me even asking - you call it synchronicity, I call it a psychic link to the record shop in my head. For the last 20 years, whenever a tune I'd like to dance to pops into my head, you magically slap it on the decks, brilliant. Hope you can't read the rest of what's in my mind! T x

Guest Brett F Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) Isn't this the time when the whole topic falls into complete and utter chaos...........Just what constitutes "Modern Soul", not going to play Devil's Advocate..... but i don't really think a record from the 1970's/80's (when it's over 20/30/40 years old) can be termed "Modern" ?. For me Modern Soul is just that Modern.................... MODERN adjective 1.of or pertaining to present and recent time; not ancient or remote: modern city life. 2.characteristic of present and recent time; contemporary; not antiquated or obsolete: modern viewpoints. 3.of or pertaining to the historical period following the Middle Ages: modern European history. 4.of, pertaining to, or characteristic of contemporary styles of art, literature, music, etc., that reject traditionally accepted or sanctioned forms and emphasize individual experimentation and sensibility –noun 7.a person of modern times.8.a person whose views and tastes are modern.9.Printing. a type style differentiated from old style by heavy vertical strokes and straight serifs.Synonyms: 1. Modern, recent, late apply to that which is near to or characteristic of the present as contrasted with any other time. Modern is applied to those things that exist in the present age, esp. in contrast to those of a former age or an age long past; hence the word sometimes has the connotation of up-to-date and, thus, good: modern ideas. That which is recent is separated from the present or the time of action by only a short interval; it is new, fresh, and novel: recent developments. Late may mean nearest to the present moment: the late reports on the battle. Dictionary.com Unabridged Edited June 21, 2009 by Brett F
Guest Brett F Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 PS. I'm a 70's soul fan . That's my bag............
Guest Brett F Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 And while i'm at it i hate these top 3, top 10 lists, it's impossible my mind would change every 14 minutes................ My all time track from the 70's would be the "On The Buses" TV theme tune............. And thanks to Steve Plumb and the Orwell boys for putting me onto that. Brett F

Brett F Top 3s, Top 10s etc, it is only having a bit of fun at the end of the day. It is also good to see what other people come up with. What a strange time to state every 14 mins yes it is impossible to name but it what takes your fancy at any given time.
Pete S Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Not even one Pete?.. Jayne.x I don't know because I like loads of 70's records but I just class them as Northern Soul, things like Towaway Zone, Tell me Why, I'm Your Pimp, Anderson Brothers, Will Collins, Sexy Sugar Plum, Billy Woods, Stanley Woodruff, you know those records that were played side by side with the 60's ones when they were new releases etc. But if you ask for something in say the last 20 years I wouldn't be able to even quote a title for you. I think because the sound became so different to that which I liked, I couldn't follow it.
Kjw Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 3. Charles Johnson - Never Had A Love So Good 2. Mel Williams - Sweet Girl Of Mine 1. Flowers - For Real

I think I first heard Mel Britt played in a modern room and a Terry Jones Village Soul set can comprise of anything from any era which confused me rather at first as most people think of Village Soul as a modern thing. I've chatted with people on the modern scene who have a similar view but in reverse... can't abide the gritty sixties sound / RnB because it's too different to modern. Jayne.x

I want more DJ's who'll play 60's through to new release (bit like I've heard Searling et al described at Wigan) I get the impression Dj's feel they have to be in one camp or the other (northern or modern), pigeon holed if you like, with very few exceptions anyway. I'm gonna start a campaign for one in my area!. I have favourites from each decade and I want to hear them all in the same room. I guess I'll probably be on my own with this (or we'd have more ACB venues anyway) So I'll only campaign for a small room perhaps.. Sorry - gone OT. Jayne.x

Albert Petit Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 My (current) fav´s with audios: 3: The Nombres - Todos - Lorain Sound (LISTEN) 2: Life - tell me why - Reprise (LISTEN) 1: 7 Miles per hour band - Playing your games - Music City (LISTEN)
Guest dundeedavie Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 3. miss louistine (can't remember the title but i love the track) 2. Underground Ministries feat Kenny Bobien - I Shall Not Be Moved 1. Drizabone - Pressure hey it's an oldie but i love it

Keamus Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Currently top 3 would be - 3. Carl Hall - What about you 2. Barbara Lynn - Trying to love two 1. Bobby Womack - Tell me why

Cunnie Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 FUN !..........FUN !...........this is Soul music, if i wanted to have fun i'd book a "Punch & Judy " show..................... Miserable b45t4rd Kinda know what you mean though Brett. As for top 3's could never really do one as there's so much out there really it would change constantly & I'd get bored of it all if it didn't. Noticed Webby had King Tutt as his number 1 & have to say that if I was cornered & had to pick my favourite record that would be it. Was a groundbreaking record for me as the first time I heard it I just knew I had to have it & it was probably the single record that moved me in the direction I followed musically. Still sounds as fresh today as it did 30 years ago but Modern? Then yes but now - Hmmm. If you want to know what new releases I'm loving at the moment they are the new Will Downing album - Classique. Just so so smooth & Soulful vocally you just fall into it. Have a preview here. https://www.amazon.com/Classique-Will-Downing/dp/B0026IZR48 Also loving the new Down To The Bone album - Future Boogie. A few clips on this link. https://www.myspace.com/downtotheb Soulful House wise IMO the best current release is Promised Land - The Collective feat Peyton, same again, follow the link https://www.traxsource.com/index.php?act=show&fc=tpage&cr=titles&cv=32968

Phil, you were never off that Bradford dancefloor
Guest biggray1 Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Dennis Lee & and the Notables..Sunday Afternoon...Jenmark Reggie Garner..Angel..BobG Brenda Jones...Big Mistake..Mercury.
Codfromderby Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 garfield fleming-dont send me away lisa hill-i,m on the real side main ingredient-evening of love or al hudson-when your gone al hudson-spread love john valenti-why dont we fall in love (not really soul !!) or al green-keep on pushing love daybreak-i need love gina foster-love is a house or bobby king-fall in love rufus-do you love what you feel magic disco machine-control tower (one for the purists !!)
Jill Bayles Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 And you were never off your head x Err...now I recall things a lot differently...like the time you were ankle deep in water on the dancefloor (funnily enough) with no socks and shoes on and the time you had to be carried out of the place cos you took a funny turn (can't for the life of me think why)...and if I was ever in a mess (which I wasn't) then it would most definitey have been all your fault

Jayne.x
Codfromderby Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Some great choices there,Garfield Fleming,Al Hudson...But Daybreak,don't understand what all the fuss is about,mind you it's rarity might be the answer it wasnt rare when i sold mine, grrrr
Guest topcatnumpty1 Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Surely modern soul indicates the last couple of years not stuff played at Queens Hall downstaairs in 1989 (good as it was ) so i .d have to go with Brenda Boykin---Love,s in Town and varios others Best Tony C.
