Winnie :-) Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 Whilst grazing on another thread, I felt the need to explore what commercial soul sounds (loosely speaking) you/me would be happy to admit to liking to. For instance, I like "You can do magic" "I'm doin fine now" Own up remember confession is good for the SOUL!! Winnie:-)

Epic Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 Until You Come Back To Me - Aretha Franklin Never Can Say Goodbye - Jackson 5 Tell Me What You Want - Jimmy Ruffin IMHO These are just good soul records - I think the word "commercial" refers to the fact they sold well & hit the mainstream charts - this does not detract from their quality. Perhaps we sometimes get bogged down in the rarity & value syndrome to listen to what real quality is hiding in the dark corners of our boxes.

It wasn't meant to be a majorly serious thread, just a bit of fun, really. Winnie:-)

Guest in town Mikey Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 I liked just about all the soul stuff in the charts in the 70s. I'm not a big fan of Stevie Wonder, but Sir Duke and I wish are probably among my faves, along with The Moments of course
