Three records from the disco era or later, Eddie Billups, Manhattans and Rare Pleasure. All about perception, all three packed the floor, all are stunning soul records, 2 are hard to find, the other a Stafford classic, but becuase this was a rare soul allnighter, I played it on the very rare Dutch picture bag issue . Sheridan's was billed as a rare soul allnighter, thats what I played. That equals 9% modern soul from me, now that is rare. I played a set that respected the venue and it's crowd.
Unlike others, to the string starter I say keep coming, new people and thier varied tastes and opions are what make the scene so vibrant.
But the scene as long as I can remember has always been in evolution, and again one of the resons it's still here and not a dead fond memory, like the 50's Rock & Roll scene, which got hung up on when records were made. Finally yes the scene needs young blood, my son is 15 and my duaghter 23, they are starting to get to like some of it, they will be around when most of us are dead. The stuff they connect with is the 70's onward stuff. Now they are truly the youth of today and have an equally valid view. But all in all if it's soul it's all good. Revolving door conversation. To miss qoute a racist saying from the late 60's/early 70's some of my best friend are 60's soul fans.
Have fun with this string
