Similar Songs To Custis Mayfield - Move On Up?

[1978]

Hi,

Can anyone here recommend me any similar songs to Move On Up? It's one of my all time favourites, but I'm more into disco and modern soul so I haven't really been diggin into this sound that much.

It NEVER fails when played out and is a super nice changeup in my disco / modern sets. The most similar tune of all the records I play out must probably be Little Beaver - Listen to My Heartbeat. Works great after Move On Up!

Would love to have more tunes like this to get some better variation in my sets.

 

Any tips are appreciated!

A couple of my favorite Impressions tracks, sorta along that line

 

Love Me

It Goes On & On

 

Both have Leroy Hutson on lead, from the 1st Impressions LP after Curtis left, Times Have Changed - whole Lp is a winner

Also don't forget The Impressions - Were a Winner.... way earlier but Move On Up certianly dips its cap to it!

Bits n Pieces Keep on Running Away - This needs blasting from your amp with serious intent!

Howzabout Lennie Satin, "Homebound"? I don't think that one gets enough appreciation...

If we're talking about feelgood tunes then these two - I Hate Hate by Razzy and Riot by Joe Bataan.

confunction- spirit of love, it got that vibe.....

little bit more on the disco tip and I'm sure you already know it, but O'Jays - I Love Music has a similar vibe for me.. good cheap one too!

 

some other suggestions for that feel-good vibe: 

Edwin Starr - Runnin' Back And Forth

Ujima - I'm Not Ready

Reachers - I just Wanna Do My Own Thing

Flame N' King - Ho Happy Day

Wes Black - I Feel Good (Feelin' Good)

The Crow - Your Autumn Of Tomorrow

Continental Showstoppers - We're Not Too Young

I suggest Kings Go Forth - One Day on Mr. C:

 

 

[Anais nin Carms]

This reminded me of the same feeling that move on up gave ... feel good soul , recall it being massive when we did the Sheridens Ibiza soul week run by Rodz and Chrissie ..whatever happened to them ? ... now who was the Dj that span it ....on the tip of my tongue ....Steve Hanbury !

DAMN! I don't know how this one slipped under my radar, but I need it. NOW.
