RIP Mr Ayers. So many great songs. Prolific live performer in the UK.
This is him at the Forum, Kentish Town in 2016
He's also been a big influence on Louie Vega and other House acts in more recent times

Quite a few. It depends what you want on modern soul. A lot don't get advertised here. Some examples below.
Cotswold Park Soul weekender – Fri 21st – Sun 23rd February 2025
Margate Soul Festival 2024 | Margate Soul Weekender
Blackpool International Soul Festival 8 – Goldsoul
Some big teams could go out soon, which makes it interesting and I'm sure is not what UEFA intended. I still don't understand how they make the 8 fixtures fair for everyone.
Damaris also did a good version of it.
The Shapeshifters sampled it to terrible effect about 20 years ago and got to no.1.
Dave & Maurissa version has just come out
I enjoyed Black Doves a lot.
Also, Archie, about Cary Grant was very good. I had no idea about his rough childhood. As was the BBC three part documentary about Elizabeth Taylor recently.
