Whats wrong with Bowie? There's nothing wrong with having diverse musical taste. Throw off the blinkers and you shall find redemption.

There are hundreds more crap black records played on the scene than crap white records, it goes without saying if there's 30,000 black records then a good percentage are going to be shite. Here are a few to start: the younghearts - a little togetherness norma jenkins - the airplane song james coit - black power larry houston - lets spend some time together oh sod this, it's making me queasy just thinking about that last one

You haven't got a scooby what I'm talking about. The Mayfield-penned songs were perfect for the Jamaican vocal groups and the fact is that THEY SANG THEM BETTER THAN THE IMPRESSIONS DID. I know perfectly well who the singers with the group are, if you want a pop quiz you've come to the right place, you'll slink off with your tail between your legs after your shoeing though

Ex-mates :angry:

Baby Washington's original is piss poor compared to Timi Yuro's version..slow..dull..boring...badly arranged

You've never fucking heard any of them so pipe down until you know what you're talking about

When did James Bounty become worth more than £15?
-
Well it's either Gene Chandler or Major Lance...

Can I just say - I love the Soul Bros Inc record in every respect...it's got that magic about it
-
You're right, a 68 release on Major Minor, must have been after they charted...

Trouble just seems to follow me around Blade. Nothing wrong with stirring things up a bit though... p.s. good call on johnny wyatt

p.s. I don't like soul music that much. Only Northern Soul. I never listen to 'normal' soul apart from old stuff like Al Green. Deep Soul means as much to me as Pink Flord. If we are talking soul, I get all the soul I need from the Jamaican rocksteady groups like The Techniques, The Sensations and The Paragons who did Curtis Mayfield better than he did himself.

What I'm saying is - in the 'old' days it didn't matter if it was by a black artist or a white artist, people didn't have the kind of mind-set they have nowadays, I'd dance to Julian Covey or The Outsiders and not realise it was different from Lou Pride...it was just a northern record. Nowadays I'd dance to the Lost Soul cos I think it's a great northern record. I wouldn't, however, dance to something like George Lemons because it's a pile of festering wank, despite it being black. So it works both ways.

Sorry, but if you dismiss the Paul Anka record out of hand like that I really don't think you understand the concept of Northern Soul, and I'm really not trying to be rude or start an argument but it's the absolute epitome of what a Northern Soul record should sound like. As is Determination by Dean Parrish. Or is what you mean that you are only into soul music per se and therefore not Northern?

Er, because it's a discussion board last time I looked, you know, where people express opinions - my opinion is that you are talking bollocks, that's all, doesn't mean I think you're a bad person
-
How anyone can say I'm On My Way isn't a soul record is beyond me. What is it, rockabilly??
-
There's a UK King lp as well...quite rare...not great

Why? I know you're joking but why does it make my taste in music worse than yours just because I prefer one record over another? Why are you in the right? IN MY OPINION the Joanie Sommers is better than the Magictones, thats all. This is why the scene was so great in the 70's - the soul police hadn't arrested everyone. :angry:
