My personal favourite at the moment

Norman Connors "Take It To The Limit" on Arista

as heard from the Cleethorpes weekender, spun by that man Steve Womble thumbsup.gif

What a record for £8!

Will come up with two more when I've given it some more thought :chinstroke:

Got to agree Stubbsy, a dancefloor classic- if you can pick up his uplifting "You Are My Melody" mid eighties USA 45 on Capital. Its well worth a £5.00 and little known for a major label product.

A Record Corner big seller back then.

Somebody add this one

Otis Jackson - Get Yourself Together Girl (Genesis 45)

Edited by Nick Harrison

1, Lil Major Williams - Girl don't leave

2, Ellipsis - People

3, Melvin Moore - All of a sudden

oops forgot about them

so thats my next 3 too..maybe I should have played them too

at the weekend.

gasher good call simsy

Gasher, you're such a title dropper! :thumbup:

Jordi

Makes you wonder why good folks bother, nailed it - pure boredom.

Edited by Nick Harrison

Depends what you mean by modern soul!!

As many on here might mean it:

3. Motherfox - Fallen Into Love

2. Mind & Matter - I'm Under Your Spell

1. Melvin Moore - All Of A Sudden

As I tend to mean it:

3. DJ Man-X & Albert Sterling Menendez feat. Blaze - Consequences (Man-X Sunset Nights Vocal Mix)

2.Teena Marie - Congo Square

1. Lee Fields - The Only One Loving You

I'd like to request something off the new Will Downing CD too to make it 4 in that latter set............a difficult choice with so much great stuff around!!!!

Cheers,

Mark R

I've got everything by him.

"Keep Your Head Up" is an anthem. Also check out his "Smile" track... been playing it out on a regular basis and always gets a Positive reaction!

Awesome singer.

:lol:

Sean

Tortured soul---Home to you

Brenda Boykin--Love,s in town

John Legend--Save Room

ALL from the last couple of years

Best

Tony Coleby(My real name--originally from Richmond,N.Yorks---still got hair--no teeth---drive a gold car--live on otskirts of Bradford!!!)

What, all two albums? :lol:

:shades:

A lot more than two my little Modern Soul Meister!

There've been THREE on his own and many collaborations with the likes of Alicia Keyes, LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, Talib Kweli etc...

And I've got 'em all!

Hows your Lyfe Jennings collection doing? :yes:

good.gif

No, there's been two plus a couple of special editions of his second one with extra tracks hasn't there?

I've wasted my money on both of them Sean, he's got a decent voice but his material is very weak imvho mate.

Three mate,

1. Lyfe 268-192 in 2004

2. Phoenix - in 2006

3. Lyfe Change - in 2008

Plus the special editions.

Agree, a lot of his stuff is a bit 'iffy'. All the trademark 'Hey Yo Yo' does my head in... but he does have a remarkable voice and for the handful of tracks where he delivers, vocally, its some of the best 'Raw Soul' stuff I've heard from this century.

:lol:

Link to Lyfe Jennings "Cry" for anyone who might wonder who I'm on about...

Sean

Yup.....I have three Lyfe Jennings albums.....all different ones so far as I'm aware, so I've only got one version of the one that you're saying was reissued!!

Cheers,

Mark R

I stand corrected, apologies. I must have just ignored the 2008 one because the first two were so poor. :shades:

:lol:

That's no excuse for being out of touch, Roger.

Do try and keep up.

:yes:

Sean

Oi you Mr H stop talking about this new fangled stuff, it can't be soul, and answer my Bill Brandon question on other thread (by PM), I can't PM from work to remind you!!

And Dodger wash your mouth out with soap, there are at least 2 great tracks on each CD which make them compulsory in my view, and I am pretty sure it was you who recommended the first for me...........

Did I? This music lark's all just a blur to me nowadays Jocko, I don't listen to anything properly. I wish I'd never started DJ'ing on't'internet and Sky telly wireless sometimes mate. :lol:
