Soul Shrews Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Evidence? Because that would be like a personal dream coming true. I dreamt of one in 1980 Sorry Benji I was kidding, hoped my smiley would have made that clear. Still I've always wondered why there isn't one? Can you imagine another couple of minutes after he really starts singing ? Cheers Paul

Cunnie Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Another scarce 12" only release from the record room. Might also go down well on the Disco thread too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TENTgSbRJDE 1
Cunnie Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Another 12" essential. Why on earth would you want the 7" when you would miss out on the extended sax break.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFvcXjpVvWQ 3
MrsWoodsrules Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Off top of me bonce, a few favourites of my though the years........ George Benson World Is a Ghetto, THEE perfect 12' record. Sharon Redd, Beat The Street. Phylliss Hyman, You Know How To Love Me. Change, Searchin. King Tutt, You've Got Me Hung Up. D Train Your'e The One For Me. Africa Bambaata & The Soul Sonic Force, Planet Rock. Peach Boys, Don't Make Me Wait. Tania Maria, Come With Me.......Great great tune, remember big at the Hacienda circa 83, when it was still a cool hang out. This is sheer class, hard to get a 12' of this, only ever had it on an album, but i know they are out there. Edited October 18, 2013 by MrsWoodsrules 1

Barry Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I must say I have noticed a bit of a death-knell musically as regards some of the choices in this thread, my opinion of course, re the term 'soul music' but each to their own ay? Some have stretched it a bit for me if I'm honest - you know cos I know it all like.

There is only 1...as a 'DJ'........and familiarity does breed contempt.......as i've forgot perhaps the biggest essential 12" i've had in me collection... since becoming a 'general DJ' in 1990ish.....and was just reminded of it when placing Happy Birthday comments to Chalky...........although I play me Robert Murphy version when I can....and spin the 7" of this version when neccesary....

Barry Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 'If You Wanna Fool Around' was more of a Cricket Club Soul n Funk thing era to me than a Niter tune Bazza but I love it just like you.
Chris Turnbull Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Great thread, this - picked up some top tunes on here so thought I'd post a few of my own to say thanks!

Guest son of stan Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) One of the greatest ever records for me, regardless of format: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b7om2cQC7U Edited November 9, 2013 by son of stan
Guest son of stan Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) And both sides of this classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZcbDESaxhY (Supposedly actually mixed by Walter Gibbons, who got sacked for taking too long over it, Levan just came in and finished it off.. Or Something..) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CedRajyyJS8 Perhaps more in keeping with Soul Source. Not sure who the vocalist is, tearing it up Womack-style! Edited November 9, 2013 by son of stan
Andreas B Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Here's one that I never see mentioned, great builder of a tune and cheap as chips! Bonus that its named after my favorite cryptozoological big dude in the woods BIGFOOT - I APOLOGIZE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HneRw9Lc8w 1

Andreas B Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Queen Yahna - Ain't It Time (P&P) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuFp18cJq7w 3
Guest son of stan Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 You see, I think the best ones are those that came out when the format was just invented and did something brand new with the space, fidelity, volume it afforded.. Rather than just a longer version of something that could have come out on 7"or LP(good as all those can be) and before it became the default format for dance music... One of the most exciting records ever for me. Just when you think she is done....
Benji Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Queen Yahna - Ain't It Time (P&P) Even though the picture shows the 12" it's the same recording as the 7" version. Both records state 5:00 but the actual song is only about 3:40
