Guest Juddy Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Awright, it's help-a-Yank time... For a few months now, I've been peppering our soul night here in Pittsburgh with some more R&B-ish northern kinda thangs, and they've always proved amongst my personal favorites each night. Well, it's become very obvious to me last Friday night that the dancers feel more than similarly, and I want to bolster the set list with a few more dandies like these below. Any suggestions for raging R&B bits? They don't need to be super-rare or unknown; it doesn't matter if they're "played-out' on the UK scene; and if something's not $1,000,000, that'd help! Charles Sheffield - ...Voodoo... Jimmy Robins - Just Can't Please You Jackie Wilson - 3 Days, 1 hour, 30 minutes 5 Royales - Catch That Teardrop Barbara Lynn - I'm a Good Woman Pearl Woods - Sippin Sorrow Umm... damn the dj's-get-free-beer thing... you get the idea. Cheers, Juddy Soulcialism Pittsburgh, PA - Home of the Hits
