I hate anybody from Europe , infact anyone who wasn't born in Detriot who lays claim to being a soul singer...........hell the next thing these UK soul people will be on Gold soul records.... thumbsup.gifshhh.gifwink.gif

footnote..just joking, but some folks on here are a little up their own arse when it comes to differentials.....

Short clip below.

https://www.tru-thoughts.co.uk/clips/Alice%...t%20Calling.mp3

I think that this is on Alice's solo LP as well the Quantic album "Apricot Morning"

For the more adventurous Quantic is well worh checking out. His albums are a mix of soul, funk, latin, Jazz, dub and downtempo electronica. As well as Alice Russel he also uses the incredible Spanky Wilson as a guest vocalist (but she's American so not counted in this topic :rolleyes: )

More info on Alice here:

https://www.tru-thoughts.co.uk/?page=record...ease.html&id=95

You really need to see her live though. Last time I saw her with Quantic Soul Orchestra she had an audience that ranged in age from about 15 to 60 in the palm of her hand. Joss Stone doesn't hold a candle.

Paul Young, you are going back a long time he must be at least 50 years old :thumbsup:
