Simon M Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Nice tune, but is it 'Modern' or is it twenty years old? If you ever get to hear C.Coulter "I cant fight the feeling" you will weep.. synth soul 80's and pure quality . Unfortunatly very rare Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Simon T Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Most of (by the mid 80's) is kake becasue of those bloody drum machines. However, I'd say David Sea Night After Night is one of the best tunes ever made.

Daved Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Loads of great soul in the 80s. It was the decade that brought us Anita Baker, for God's sake! Ok, so there better known stuff had it's awful moments but there's lots of excellent stuff there too, and you don't have to look that far. Maybe, I'm a bit biased because I was a young lad in the 80s and strikes a chord with me but people shouldn't label it as being a crap decade because of one particular type of sound.

On 45 only, 12 has an inst on the flip. My kinda boogie/stomper. Yes sure, released as 12 on different label too. Original 45 was on Out Of Sight. Cash is the label. I Still Love You Girl on the other side is also great ballad, quality double-sider. Don't know how many. But we three members of Rhythmic Freedom all own it.

A searling spin . too ( quite a few coverups in the 100 ) just wish I still had all the BB's again .. top deejay Adam B !! Simon Just spent a very satisfying hour and a bit playing Kashif and Alexander O'Neal's debut albums for the millionth time. So many fantastic early 80s records have Kashif involved somewhere along the line - all those great Melba Moore, Evelyn Champagne King, Lillo Thomas, Freddie Jackson, Willie Collins, Paul Laurence Jones tunes, even the first Kenny G LP!. They all make a liar out of anyone who says that everything played on just synthesisers and drum machines is crap. I still play these records all the time - to me they are both timeless and priceless (and a lot better than plenty of the indie soul from the same era...) Ditto the early work of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis - there are few records in the world, period, better than O' Neal's "What's Missing" or the SOS Band's "Weekend Girl" - soul masterpieces that sit confidently and proudly with the best black music of any era! Same goes for Leon Sylvers' immaculate work at SOLAR records. Life without Shalamar's "Over And Over" and Dynasty's "Do Me Right" would be intolerable. It's nice to be able to give some props to such immaculate soul music... TONE Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

MarkH Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 For me the 80`s had enough quality for me to see it in a positive light (although the bad stuff was Bad !) For example there was quality major label stuff from the likes of Bert Robinson,Beau Williams,Bobby Womack,Controllers etc ,ballads from Truth,Ronnie Garrett,Levert,Darrell Pediford,Rose Brothers,Ebo,Ortheia Barnes etc,as well as numerous "Modern" anthems. Below are a selection of 80`s tracks i`ve pulled out from my "New Chapter " play boxes. Fabulous Playmates-Don`t turn your back on loving, Larry Buford- I think i`m goona be blue, Little Milton-Guess how much i love you and Survivors of love Ruby Wilson-Love has come Charles Wilson-trying to make a wrong thing right Frank O -It`s too late Sam Butler-I can`t get over loving you Crosswinds-Fire James "Bootie Tuten-I`ll never let you say goodbye Hilights-Bad Situation Louisiana Purchase-Baby come back Conway Brothers-Gonna refuse your love Phil Phillips-It takes more Faye Marshall - Broken Promises Beverly and Duane -Love/You belong to me Gil Billingsley-I`m me just me Impressions- Something said love Greg Clayborn-TLC Tyrone Davis-Just my luck Norfolk-You`re my doll baby Willie Clayton-Love pains and Your Sweetness Shagtime band-Your precious love James King -Memory/Easy Love Gregg Jackson -One for the road Jessie Mitchell-Don`t be so eager Mark Houghton Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
