Northernjordan Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Ok, ive been getting into sounds like The Parliaments - The Goose, The Exits - You've Got Have Money and The Vibrations - I Took An Overdose. And to me at least, they have a very Psychedelic feel to them which is appealing to me as I like a lot of 60s garage and psyc. You can really feel that kind of vibe with the guitar riffs and singing style and way out lyrics in some of those songs. Just wondering if people could post their favourite psychedelic soul tracks? Cheers 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Roburt Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Seem to recall some of the later Artistics cuts & other stuff out of Chicago (Chi-Lites, Lost Generation, etc.) being quite psychedelic soul influenced (but then by 69, any group influenced by the Temptations was going psychedelic).

Citizen P Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Good thread . Norman Whitfield obviously had a leaning towards it, as did George Clinton, so who influrnced who? Or was it a direction that sort of grew organicly ? 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Roburt Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Non- hit groups (& there were 1000's of those) along with their producers & record labels were always seeking out that illusive hit. The best way most tried to achieve this was by seeing what type of sounds were dominating the current soul 45's chart & making a similar sounding track. Thus, if a group / solo artist hung about on the recording scene for some years they would put out cuts influenced (at different times) by the likes of the Impressions, Uptown New York cuts, New Orleans influenced stuff, Motown, Stax, James Brown, Funkadelic, Norman Whitfield stuff, Hi / Al Green stuff, Philly International tracks, etc. Thus an act could (& did) make records that had them sounding like many different artists .... all in a name of trying to secure a hit. Many acts had a psychedelic sou era but then moved on to 'the next big thing'. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mister Fish Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) I have compiled a list of 60 or so Psyche Soul/Funk tunes for a future mix.. Here are some of the tracks i am thinking of including in the mix; Darrow Fletcher - The time is right for love Ghetto Friendship - Build it up , tear it down Segments Of Time - song to the siren Symphonic Four - who do you think you're fooling Masqueraders - Truth is free Aggregation - A child is born Issac Hayes - Walk on by Edwards Generation - That's how much I love her Green Berets - Just an ugly rumour Edited January 7, 2013 by Mister Fish Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

MrsWoodsrules Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Love the Jocelyn Brown re-mix of this on the rather excellent Nuyorican Soul album By Master At Work (Little Louie Vega). This George Benson track You Can Do It Baby falls into the same genre if not a little jazzy, check it out, in fact the whole Nuyorican Soul album if full of gems. This track takes a least a few minutes to get started, but boy does it start when when it gets going, ace track. Aid.

Andreas B Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I'd say this great one from the Parliaments definitely has a psychedelic lean to it, and its a fantastic double sider with the pumping northern of "Don't Be Sore At Me" on the flip. And of course we have to mention Dee Edwards - Why Can't There Be Love, for that amazing Dennis Coffey fuzz guitar Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Philippe Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Good thread . Norman Whitfield obviously had a leaning towards it, as did George Clinton, so who influrnced who? George Clinton influenced Norman Whitfield, who used to come to the Parliaments shows with a portable recorder (according to Billy Bass Nelson -I think it's him- in Wax Poetics). But to me the Master is Sly Stone. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The Ordells track is one of my all time favourite tunes with an utterly jaw dropping string arrangement and amazing atmosphere, but psychedelic?

I've got the Halleluiah Chorus 45 (superb 45 btw) but again I wouldn't have thought that was a psych tune. Certainly I would agree around the right era and slightly oddball and leftfield compared to most straight soul. May be I don't really know what psychedelic soul is.
