Spot on Martyn - I'm with you on this one - loved dancing to Tavares, DC Larue & Idris Muhammad etc. That said, would also stay on the floor to Rotations, Jimmy Raye & Paul Sindab etc.
If only people would stop categorizing the music we all love. Soul music is great in 2005. Equally it was great in 1965 & the 4 decades that seperate the two years. We are privileged people - let's appreciate everything we have heard & look forward to hearing tunes not even made yet.,
