Heard this a couple of years ago via Stevie Green (Cenco) and I absolutely love it, think me and Boba had a bit of a debate about this one, sure it was this, If I remember Boba thought the harmonies were all over the place and not tight enough, then I think the debate went on that these guys couldn,t afford the studio time as opposed to some groups like the Impressions who could therefore spend more time getting it just right whereas the likes of these guys had to get in and get out and take the best take they could, I am sure Boba will correct me though Kev

Please PM if you can help Kev Now Sorted Thanks for looking

Great set Mick, Boy next door absolutely brilliant, had a great day as usual, more comment in Events Kev

Sorted thanks

Hi Boba, just go to post 163, click on the outside link underlined in the advert Thecat, then when you get onto the stations web, click on to Listen Again, then in the right hand column, Catagories, click on to Dab Of Soul,well worth a listen, some great stuff played Kev

Great show Chris and Brian, right up my street, 2001 Black Essence defies description and Sly, Slick Wicked another highlight amongst many, great stuff Kev

Tried on here a couple of years ago, please PM if you can help UnIque-Here we go again-COL-LA-SOUL Kev Now Sorted thanks for replies

Thought you would like that one Steve, glad you got one, you need a Skullsnaps I reckon Kev

Ooops !! just been to check, its Selma my apologies, and thanks to you and Steve for replying, yes Boba, its out of Jamaica, New York, fantastic record though all the same, any info much appreciated Kev

Got a great mid-tempo track on Salem Nat Brown-If thats what you want go ahead, there was a thread on here a while ago, don't see it about much, perhaps Boba can spread some light on this one, well worth getting if you see it though Kev

Hi Gareth, Joe Bataan my fave on "Crystal Blue Persuasion" like you suggest hard to make a mess of that song really. "Aint No Sunshine", best for me by a mile is Isaac Hayes 17 minute performance, live at the WattStax concert in 1972, done only the way "Ike" can, great vocals, fantastic rythmn backing from the Bar-kays while Ike delivers one of the greatest saxaphone solo,s you will ever hear, and while the whole 17mins absolutely flies over, it dawns on you this wasn't meant for whitey, its soul at its blackest and most defiant, incredible!! Kev

John Edwards rendition of "Danny Boy", looking at it, you just can't imagine it, but boy does it grab you, not only covers it, John makes it his own, truly fantastic emotional song. Kev

Hi Binsey, if you like Ralfi Pagan, go onto Youtube and play "Darling, you and I", thats if you don't already have it, superb !! Kev

Hardly go out now, but play stuff in the house all the time, these are current regulars at the mo Richard Smith-I Dont want to cry-Hi-Q Tyrone Harris-Nothing seems to go right anymore-Barclay and the 3 Moses Dillard-Got to find a way (parts 1&2)-Curtom Willie Brown-Love that stranger-Tri-it Skullsnaps-Didn,t I do It to you-GSF Kev

Great stuff, Ambassadors do a great version on Arctic aswell fella,s Kev

Absolutely incredible Gareth, mentioned on the funk thread that for lovers of sweet, deep, ballads, etc, theres a bottomless pit to pull from with regards to finding incredible soul music, this is the real deal for me Kev

Wander as much as you like for me Paul with examples like that, "Thank you lord" is not of this earth (no pun intended) have it on album with the brilliant "I know a man" and are regular players in here. John Edwards "Excercise my love" is a particular love of mine among many from him, his version of "Danny Boy" is also incredible. No, keep wandering gents Kev

Hi Gareth, if you don,t have it, go onto Youtube and play "Darling, you and I" absolutely magnificent and "Just for a little while". Kev

Yes Paul, the flip tp "Get Myself Together" "Can,t get over losing you" is brilliant, another big fave of mine in the same vein, Ralfi Pagan, all his stuff on Fania is superb, and theres loads of it Kev

Hi Paul, "He,s no good" what a record Kev

Could be lucky to see it for a tenner these days Dave, seen it for a lot more, in fact don,t see it listed much these days, with reference to "dance", refer Funk thread Kev

Yes Dave, "How can I get over a fox like you" to me is the better one, both good but "How" is exceptional Kev

Bang on Manus, I posted earlier that with words to effect, theres a better scene within the confines of your own home, conversing with like minded soul fans who buy what they like which as you state can cover most soulful genres, example being my good man Tomo from Boro who has ticked the "like" box on your post has just sent me a Johnnie Taylor CD which he has compiled himself, theres only 4 out of 21 tracks I know, they are of all tempo,s and different production but they are all beauties which will prompt me to look for and purchase what I can, eleviates the political and egotistical bollocks, nothing to live up to, just enjoying and attaining bloody good soul records. Think also the guys who indulge in the sessions you mention around the doors and still go to venues feel they don,t have to fit in to or go along with whatevers meant to be hip, they just want to hear soul, whatever the genre Kev
