Tell Me Your Top Tunes! Current Or All Time

[Guest greentangerine]

New to the site and building a collection and trying to broaden my horizons... i'm 31 so exposure to actual events has been limited... but I try. So whatever feed back I get I will build a playlist and live with it for a few days, see what sticks. Been doing the same for a while with DJ's top 5's and found some great stuff.

My current fav's are in no order:

Can't Satisfy - Impressions

I got the fever - Creation

My Man, A sweet Man - Millie Jackson

Lonely for you Baby - Sam Dees

Baby Hit and Run - Contours

Here I go again - Archie Bell

[Guest Matt Male]

My 5 current faves/plays would be

Big Lucky - Stop Arguing Over Me - M.O.C.

Betty Wilson - Don't Give Up - Dayco

Queenie Lyons - Drown In My Own Tears - Deluxe

Jimmy Lewis - Let Me Know - Minit

Al Robinson - Sho Bout Drove Me Wild - Pulsar

Sorry to be negative to someone asking for help, but you can't get the true feeling of this music from playing them on an MP3 player. You have to be in a dark seedy club, with a good sound system, with other like minded souls.

Records from my past that provided seminal moments the first time I heard them are -

JOHNNY SAYLES - I CAN'T GET ENOUGH - ST LAWRENCE

LINDA JONES - I JUST CAN'T LIVE MY LIFE - W.BROS

YOUNGHEARTS - A LITTLE TOGETHERNESS - SOULTOWN

There are many more, but these three are cornerstones of perfection of each genre, male vocal, female vocal and group soul. If you haven't heard these before, well, I would love to be in your shoes and hearing them again for the first time.

I agree with Phil, don't bother buying these or downloading them, come to Move On on 18th and you can hear them out loud and dance to them.

I live in York and soul venues seem a bit limited, a few guys doing Motown type nights in hotels, and a good one just started in tadcaster every 3 months. But other than that I struggle really. Plus my dad is the only person who shares an interest with me, and he likes what he likes and thats it. So getting a pal to tag along in normally a chore.

But I am trying!!!

I think there are a few things in York and lots in Yorkshire. There is Harry Crosby's Yorksoultrain on September 12th, in York. Look in Events on here.

Hello Mr Green,

Don't know about my faves - I can never choose there's just too many.

There are so many great tunes, so I've concentrated on male/male group vocal 60's Soul and I'm sure others can point you toward others genres i.e. female, crossover, 70's etc etc.

So for you starting out, I've listed five tunes that are fantastic all time classics and are relatively cheap on original vinyl - there is no substitute for this format!

BTW, you do realise that this scene is an addiction and alot more expensive than many so go careful and buy wisely

• NF Porter - Keep On Keeping On - Lizard
• Dells - Make Sure - Cadet
• Jimmy Robins - I Can't Please You - Jerhart
  
• Precisions - If This Is Love - Drew
• Jimmy Holiday - New Breed - Diplomacy

Regards...
