Of course! Add "Money" to that aswell.

No there's only Lap up here.

I thought that was boy - girl stuff. Sorry, putting my shoes on.

Guitar Ray - How many more years?

You can dance to most of these though so ill see you all and raise you Gene mcDanials - Walk with a winner Even Gene himself couldnt dance to it on the you tube clip.

Dunno about a contribution to the soul scene, but they brought Babes in toyland over here first and for that i will be eternally grateful. ROCK ON!

Tis modern soul Style is irrelevent, its the soulful feeling that counts. As much Soul from Masics and Sullivan as any artist we dance to at nighters.

Kind of understand Nick, But it doesnt really differ from ajusting the bass or treb though does it?

Used to have the sterio at home perminantly up fast, records sounded dead slow when out.

If the cap Fits .

All very familiar, apart from Daley Thomson?? Brian Jacks circa squat thrust era maybe but whilst accepting Daley,s sporting prowess and the fact hes probably a double hard b'stard he's a bit of a Nob.

Just thought it would be a bit of fun. And yes, Septics do pronounce every thing wrong, otherwise we'd be playing sosher and going to Lycester All naaders.

The Thymes - Miss Grace. Charity shop classic

Just looking through the look at your box section and saw a Larry Houston for sale, And as you do you find yourself singing it in your head. "I wanna spend some tahhme widchu" What other songs have obviously bad pronounciation, Feel free to Exagerate

Class Tune, Class singer and oozes soulful feeling but again its not a dancer. Id go for "shout to the top" the most soulful the punk in a suit ever got.

Barbera Carr - Messin with my mind - BarCar Far superior to the other versions. It was great hearing Clarence Carter at the 100 club last week though.

Do you think thats where Shane McGowan got his moves from?

I think imight be coming from a different angle here but the explainations so far, mostly 50's Rock n roll or doo wap being fused with blues and R n B describes what i see as Dance music. It was certainly made for the dance hall rather than the radio or theatre. Personaly i see soul music as a tune that gives you "that" feeling that we all know but probably cant fully put into words, if this IS how soul music is defined then surely the net has to be cast much wider and much earlier. As far as soul music as we know it, i seem to remember (though i wouldnt swear it) some reference to soul music being made in the W C Handy Biography "ST Louis Blues". He was a Blues Bugle and Trumpet player from the 1920's who was credited as being an early pioneer in blues music. His music was certainly a lot more uplifting than some of the " my birds left me, my dogs left me " style of blues at the time, and in my mind i can see a direct link between his style of music and my allnighter favs. Great topic Mark

I have the dvd of this and when we were in China my wife showed it to her history of fashion class, it inspired two of them to design a clothing line based on the fashions of that time for their degree. I got a couple of cool shirts out of it too. Jobs a good un. Highlights of the movie for me is the Staple singers, Issac Hayes, and Richard Pryiors hilairious commentry.

Nolan Porter's Imaculatly concepted love child is Janet Street.

Are they from the Deep South ?

Plus with the price of records its a far cheaper way to hear something new.

I usually blag tapes off people, this is probably how ive heard most new (to me) tunes. Soul fans have never been backward in playing their records to anyone whose interested hence i have more tapes than GCHQ.
