Just an idea, thought it might be interesting to see what people play when they first bounce out of bed and fancy a Soul fix. Only 45s actually lifted from the shelves qualify, we're talking about excercise and healthy living here, not just leaning over and flicking CD switch! To kick off, my first 3 for Thursday November 12th 2009 were:
!. What a lovely way (to tell me you loved me) JACKIE WILSON - Brunswick US - Gorgeous production, sublime vocals, Soul perfection.
2. If my heart could tell a story - EDWIN STARR - US Gordy - Edwin's great weepie in my book. Never tire of this common but utterly fantastic record.
3. You're just the kind of guy - KIM WESTON - MGM US
As Sean Hampsey recently pointed out, the third one really shows what a talent Motown lost when Mickey Stevenson departed with his heavenly voiced Mrs. Brilliant production and those suspended chorus bridges have blown me away for years!
