Guest son of stan Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Can anyone recommend any modern soul / reggae type records? Like this. Passed me by at the time but I am a sucker for this sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1rp_CvWAYc "The moon shines bright over yonder and it makes me feel so fine.."

Passed me by at the time but I am a sucker for this sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1rp_CvWAYc "The moon shines bright over yonder and it makes me feel so fine.." I've got a set of something like 20+ discs of 70's and early 80's reggae, there must be a good 6 or 7000 tracks, if I can find them you can have them and see what you can find, I can't bear to listen to this sort of reggae, it's like elevator music when you're used to ska/rocksteady/early reggae. There's a few trojan compilations featuring this sort of reggae also. Off the top of my head, this is the best one I can think of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0Cp9AsOfcg&feature=related
nickp Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 A J Brown - Making Love Together. Possibly the finest example of a modern soul/ reggae crossover.
Sebastian Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Nice version of "Don't Let It Go To Your Head" in my opinion:
malik Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Derrick Harriott's verson of Look over your Shoulder is great Also not that known but Sabrina Williams "A Word to The Wise" on 56 Hope Road has also the same kind of feel

If so wow, thanks! I'm a big fan of rocksteady, Studio 1, etc too. I guess liking 60s / 70s material is a bit the same as with soul? Some great recommendations on here. Keep them coming. Thanks!

Some great recommendations on here. Keep them coming. Thanks! Yeah absolutely - well it is as far as I'm concerned. The stuff that followed the first wave of reggae in 1970, all babylon and rasta and watered down music, can't stand it. The discs I mentioned, I think they are actually DVD discs containing mp3's - I know the one set ("Rickyroots") I must have 20+ volumes of that and then there was another series, can't remember what that was called, but there's about the same amount. I remember trying to go through these and I would say 95% never made it past the first drum roll intro I promise I'll go and look for these this afternoon, you can borrow them and send them back if you ever finish going through them. For anyone who likes 70's reggae, they must be the dogs bollocks, for me, they were just bollocks...

Passed me by at the time but I am a sucker for this sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1rp_CvWAYc "The moon shines bright over yonder and it makes me feel so fine.." try the b-side There's hundreds if not thousands of soulful reggae tracks with this sound, so where to start? there's some Junior English tracks on my blog, he made tons of what you're looking for on 12" and LP https://constantlyevolvingsound.blogspot.com/ cheers Sutty

Some great recommendations on here. Keep them coming. Thanks! Right well I've found some of the Rickyroots compilations: volumes 5 to 12, 14 to 44. Don't know what happened to volumes 1 to 4 and volume 13. There are between 600 and 900 tracks on each disc. Also found Rasdragon volumes 6 to 11 but each track is in a separate folder and it's a pain to open them in the end. You sure you want to get into this if so PM me an address and I'll send you some.

Hammersoul Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 These are really good: What love has joined together-Dobby Dobson -Success. It`s a cover of Smokey Robinson but for me a better version. I wonder Why-W.King Cole. Awesome modern soul.
