"Baby don't change your mind" Gladys & the Pips

"Never too much" Luther Vandross: always makes me feel happy, even on a dull rainy day like today

"If I can't have you" Yvonne Elliman (?spelling?) It's disco/poppy, but I don't care, it's yet another one of my faves of all time

NEW YORK DOLLS -JET BOY JET GIRL

Sorry to be picky Baz but Jet Boy Jet Girl was actually by Captain Sensible & The Softies, just after he left the Damned for the first time. Also recorded by someone called Elton Motello who was supposed to be that bloke with the irritating accent from Masterchef. I know you meant Jet Boy by the New York Dolls

Too many to name but i do like KC and the Sunshine Band - Give It Up must be played at any Disco night.

The Jacksons - Blame It On The Boogie

Jimmy James and the Vagabonds - Now Is The Time and I'll Go Where The Music Takes Me

The Real Thing - You To Me Are Everything

Atlantic Starr - Always (such a classic love song)

A few of my favourites from that era are:-

Syl Johnson - We did it - London.

Damon Shawn - Feel the need in me - Janus.

Trammps - Where do we go from here - Golden Fleece.

The Detroit Spinners - I'll be around - Atlantic.

Average White Band - Atlantic Avenue - RCA.

Cate Brothers - Easy way out (b side to Union Man) - Asylum.

the last two most would probably not consider as soul music but to me they are extremely soulful compared with some mainstream soul tracks ie Whitney Houston etc.

Non Soul Stuff.

The Corgi's - Everybody's got to learn sometimes.

Hot Gossip - Break me into little pieces.

Kissing the pink - Never too late to love you.

Big Audio Dynamite - E = mc2.

Junior Murvin - Police and thieves.

Wah - Story of the Blues.

It's Immaterial - Driving away from home.

Regards

Alan

Never get tired of hearing "To Each His Own - Faith, Hope & Charity" was a big tune back in the 70's but I can't remember if it made the charts, wonder if it gets played on the modern scene in 2006?

Still love all the stuff that charted by "War"

Me & baby brother, Low rider, Cisco kid & especially Galaxy.

Good dirty funk whistling.gif

Sort of nearly forgot about WAR. The World Is A Ghetto is fabulous and I'm now going to find the LP's and play them. Quite liked Cymande from the same era (Deliver the message?) As for singles, I like most of what's been mentioned plus Gene Chandler 'does she have a friend for me?' When he sings "there's moon out tonight and I don't want to be alone" I could cry for the bloke! Regards Ade

One popped into my head at the supermarket this morning.

Windjammer - Tossin' and Turnin'.

Not sure it was a chart hit, but had a few plays as a new release at the Top Of The World.

A nice summer tune.

Luther - never too much

most of big bazza white's EXCEPT the really famous one the name of which escapes (first last everything, that one.)

Stylistics - you make me feel brand new - i put this on in my local pub's jukebox the other week - and the landlord, in the other room, couldn't belive that anyone could've put THIS on, thought it was on 'auto-select' and flicked the next tune on!! cheeky so-and-so - i made him play it again, only louder.

average white band - let's go round again
