My top 5 would be ;

Charles Sheffield - It's your voodoo working

Kurt Harris - Emperor of my baby's heart

Mighty Sam - Fannie Mae

& a couple of recent additions to my collection that seem to be glued to my turntable at the moment ;

Roscoe Robinson - What Makes A Man Do Wrong

Hank Ballard & the Midnighters - Do It Zulu Style (brilliant tune that just blew me away from the first time i heard it when posted on this site by Pikey's Dog, superb !)

Do you have to own them to list them?

I ain't got the 1st one on my list (Ray Agee) but it's my favourite R&B tune of all time so I'm gonna list it.

If I'm allowed to include Ray Agee of course (since so many argue its Northern Soul not R& cool.gifrolleyes.gif:wub:

If you have to own 'em to list em I'll change list accordingly.....

1. Ray Agee - I'm losing again

2. Danny Owens - You're a little too late

3. Young Jessie - You were meant for me

4. Sugar Boy Williams - Little Girl

5. Junior Parker - Why do you make me cry

Last one is a beauty of a tune, worth about £10- £15 but as good as any big money item and should be played everywhere (in my humble and modest opinion of course) :boxing:
