  1. Well said that man. I can't disagree with what you've said, spot on. I was arguing with myself at breakfast on the point I would dance to Tony Galla at a nighter and he is not (technically) soul. At least he was on a soul label. As far as the rest of what you can get away with, or what is an inspired daring new dancer, your above posting covers this and covers the point well imo.
  2. No no like that at all really - soul is soul and funk is funk. So why play funk at a soul do? Thought that point was clear enough!
  3. Hmm, thinking maybe should have done a poll here? I'm going to be stunned if the general consensus is this man does not have soul. As I'm sure given the right material .... I wouldn't mind hearing a blast of Cunnie's 'I Want You' edit ...?
  4. For me this artist has a great soul vocal on most of his recordings so far. In terms of soulful quality in his voice, I would liken him to the late great Solomon Burke. Now all I am saying is it's a shame that the commercial div chart offerings as Simon Imber would liken it too are musically better than some of these non soul funky 'like it cos it's new and different' type records I have left nighters because of at 5.40am bored shitless.
  5. Mostly the funkier news spins Matt.. Just think he is more soulful. I don't think he should be getting spins out (though Cunnie has some of his rarer stuff), but I always preferred soul to funk.
  6. Does anyone know if all of the Secret Love demos are one sided?
  7. I made a comment on Facebook and it was suggested a thread on here might work better. "If Cee Lo Green were a sh*t load less famous, he'd be Northern Soul. Shame as a few of his offerings are, imo vastly superior to some of the emperor's new clothes currently foisted upon us".. Discuss...
  8. Have a Gordy issue of this and like the look of your Chills & Fever... Only slight snag is 45 has a crack in it - plays perfectly, but yeah does have a crack. Not sure how easy Valadiers IFAG is to find, not very I suspect..
  9. Mick H played this on Saturday night. Unsurprisingly, it packed the floor.
  10. Leicester wunnit? Remember getting the coach there from Victoria, only to discover it'd been cancelled..
  11. Priceless! WD40 sounds like a good tip, may give that a try.
  12. Insert 'at home' after 'play it' to chill the soul fuzz, but agree with you, excellent soulful dancer. That one on Ebay the other day went for £873. Worth every penny imo, timeless gem. Spanish take is awesome!
  13. Maybe you should stick with the Chemical Brothers.
  14. No problem. I wish Tony Smith would come round to your way of thinking and sell me his copy for a snip, instead of the grand + this goes for.
  15. Just put Rugbysoulgirl's Nissan Micra on Ebay https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130542084230&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_500wt_1156 Item No: 130542084230 NISSAN MICRA WAVE 16v SPECIAL EDITION 1994 MET BLUE Low mileage, taxed & MOT'd, sunroof, cd player & free northern cd, lol! Although it's on Ebay, it's advertised elsewhere, so we have the right to end Ebay listing at any time.
  16. Wilson Pickett explained it to Ringo (apparently) as "nothing but a feeling". Levi Stubbs just sort of nodded and said "Black".. With regards musical tastes, there will always be those "yeah I like a bit of everything" types and that's fine, we all like a bit of everything - so to speak. However those whose faces are contorted listening and or dancing to 'the Panic is On' or 'The Drifter' get the message (it seems) on an altogether clearer, more spiritual level. A love of good soul music will never go away.
  17. Hmm, name checks SS as well .. "but forgetting his role in the Amnesia operation"
  18. Think it's you mate, working okay here..
  19. Damn straight! https://shop.ebay.com/royalpunkness/m.html?_trksid=p4340.l2562 he may not have Shirley Edwards, but he's got some mouth watering stuff!
  20. Funky Joe & The Funxta's? I dunno mate, they all sound the same, shite!
  21. Oh dear.. Each of these worth ten of any would be northern funk trash - Fact.
