Jim Quite right asking this question. This is Soul Source after all, not Northern Soul Source and most of us entered the world of Northern via regular Soul. Hard to pick a 'top' three but certainly three of my favourites are: First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Roberta Flack The Ghetto - Donny Hathaway Living For The City - Stevie Wonder Mick

Hang on There baby Chairman Of The board ...............Everything`s Tuesday Al Green.................How Can You Mend A Broken Heart Isley Brothers ..........Harvest For the World Just a few there Jimbo A few more if needed Juliexx
Mick Howard Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 donny is one of my favourite artists mick....ironic that he recorded with roberta flack and that musicaly he is so much like stevie, my fave donny track is love love love...oooohhhh. You know Jim, I often ponder Soul music in general & always agree with myself (strange geezer) that I just f***ing love it....................... Donny Hathaway is also one of my favourite artists and Love Love Love is ooooohhh as you say. Such a shame how his life ended. It's right that we 'showcase' the unknown, the forgotten etc. but there is no getting away from the humungous talent that the well know artists had & whilst I know you said top 3, I offer another 3: I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You) - Aretha Franklin (an effin orgasmic recording if there ever was one) Ain't Too Proud To Beg - The Temptations (my favourite male group of all time with or without Ruffin) Touch The Hem of His Garment - Sam Cooke (I know that its strictly Gospel but hey....) Mick

Guest JIM BARRY Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Roberta Flack-FTEISYF......defo.....how much does she love that fella? Lorraine Ellison-Stay With Me Baby....You can feel her pain... Detroit Spinners-lt's A Shame.....Just wonderful Soul Music.... that sublime tune by miss flack was written by non other than kris kristofferson, strange but true.
Soul16 Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Here's eight that come to mind: The Controllers - Somebodys got to win The Temptations - Treat her like a lady Bo Kirkland & Ruth Davis - You're gonna get next to me De Etta Little & Nelson Pigford - You take my heart away Otis Redding - Try a little tenderness Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway - Back together again The Dells - I can sing a rainbow/Love is blue Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jnr - You don't have to be a star All great soul records, I reckon.

Dave. Dave mate - hope Lou is fine. Anyway, The Persuaders - 11 out of 10 for that one - effin heartacheful (if that's a proper word - well it is now). Billy Paul - tremendous - reminds me of a gig I went to back in the mid 80's with Pete Lawson & Dave Molloy - think it was Oldham but not sure but anyway it was a TSOP revival with Billy Paul, The 3 Degrees and Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes - as Tony would say "they're ggggrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeaaaaatttttttttt" Mick

Stubbsy Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Great choice,mate....but Candi Staton got played everywhere in 76.....before your time sweet thing.. And also played in the main room at Cleethorpes Weekender a couple of years ago, I seem to recall Went down a storm - great choon Julie
Stubbsy Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Here's three that spring to mind: "Shame" - Evelyn "Champagne" King "Galaxy" - War "Tom The Peeper" - Act One (t'other sides pretty good too!)
