This may be true. However like Billy Watkins there are hidden rude messages in Just Loving You. You listen, 2 minutes and 17 secs in the below clip, "such a tit head" ... You've gotta respect that?
lol indeed D!
Talking of respect, look at your post count/contribution to the site and look at that of him that you quote.
Some of the records listed on this thread are howlers. Some I can't believe they would diss. Joe Jama? Anyway each to their own and in essence that's it isn't it? All about the soul, less about the bickering...
It's a bit like saying who are the greats among the members of the Temptations.
All I'll say is Butch is David Ruffin, but Mick Smith is Paul Williams.
Nearly a year on and it's still there! He's had offers though.. Fiver?

104 posts in, I'm liking Benji's thus far.
Funk is funk, soul is soul. Funky soul isn't soul.
I remember Keb saying at the Putney Soul Party in 88' when discussing the merits of Bobby Valentin over Stanley Mitchell. Something about "that latin shite". Pure Soul was the order of the day.
Don't get me wrong the site still has it's worth or we wouldn't use it every day. Just you'll see someone that supposedly has 500k in the bank, phone them and they've gone tits up..
Anyway, I'm getting a little off topic there, forgive me.
A worthwhile and thought provoking topic indeed.
Against that backdrop (pun half intended) I can't lose sight of some inspirational characters (to me at least) ..
I think as in all walks of life it depends on the individual.
I suppose if we ask ourselves the question would we want to stay at home for a quiet life, or be stepping about like a mad man/woman to Eddie Parker.. I think the latter perhaps for the majority.
As Smudge has said and if I may quote Jackie Wilson, - 'a lovely way to die'
