Good stuff! Really like the above. Prefer the flip on Steelers though. That Steve Marshall tune is a bit of a banger, lovely jazz funk! And that Greg Perry is great, have played it a lot here at home lately.

Perhaps not pure house as it's all live instruments... But this is absolutely fantastic! Just builds and builds!!!
I honestly haven't been listening to much soulful house during the past couple of years, but I do love it when it's good. Here are some tunes I used to go apeshit over. All of them a couple of years old and most of them my own shorter edits/re-edits... or "single mixes" if you'd like... Here we go:
Not really an issue/demo kind of thing... but here you have Pic & Bill's rare "Talk About Love" 45 on Charay on the left and then its ultra rare original release as The Fiery Spartans (vocal by: PIC & BILL) on the right.
I like it a lot and wouldn't mind a copy if anyone's selling. This was a big spin for someone at The Dome back in the early 2000s covered up as "Dean And Damonts - There's A New Thing". I seem to remember that it was uncovered at some point but can't for the life of me remember what the real artist was... Anyone else? Had kind of forgotten about this tune. Nice one. Thanks for reminding me!

This has me weeping everytime I hear it. Emotional and soulful in the extreme. In my opinion, ofcourse. More than 50% of my records are "non-soul" and I get the same kind of satifaction from most of it as I get from soul music.
Bobby Fuller Four's version on Mustang is in my opinion equally good although with a different aproach to it. A real massive "wall of sound" kind of production which stomps along nicely. T hink I have a spare copy of the Mustang 45 here somewhere if anyone needs a copy.
