Don't post very often so apologies if this rakes over old ground!

Keep hearing some good old Soul/Funk stuff popping up at random in the background in some stores. Recently heard Matt Browns' 'Thank You', Ann Sexton 'You Can't Win', Melba Moore 'Standing Right Here', G.S. Herons' 'Bottle' amongst others inter-mingled with the likes of Coldplay and other chart/popular tunes by I've no idea whom!! These were not heard in cool independent fashion emporiums (which I obviously frequent a lot!) who might know about such stuff, but places like TK Maxx, Next etc.

Any other unlikely tracks/locations to report?

Cheers.

4 years ago, while having a meal with friends at Old Orleans in Ipswich, heard "I Don't Need No Doctor" by Ray Charles played over the speakers.

T K Maxx in Bury play loads of Northern tunes.

It may be that Mr T K Maxx got a load of cheapo Northern Soul cd's in return for selling over priced ex catalogue clothes and bottles of expensive olive oil

Somerfield used to play a Northern soul version i believe of Sunny but never knew who it was by
