Record Of The Decade......so Far


Recommended Posts

Half way through the decade & I'd be interested to know the best new rare soul discovery 2000-2005. Appreciate it if peoplw could stick in nominations AND sound files.

Plan is get to 10 nominations then organise a poll.

My favourite is Stormy Winters - Life Saver, but as luck would have it dont have an mp3 to stick up. Can anybody oblige?

So I'm going to put up Mill Evans - Aint You Glad, which was I think a new release for Kent 2001 (6Ts anniv single)

Just had my mate, Simpon (Rids) on the phone. He can't post as he has some computer phobia.

But his nominations were:

Ben E King - Getting To Me

Danny Cobus - And the 2 of us.

I've never heard of Danny Cobus, I hope he's not pulling my leg whistling.gif

Norris Vines

Papa Bear & Cubs

Jerry Washington

Benny Harper

a couple that aren't too well known I think..

Ellipsis

2001 Black Essence

and lastly

Margaret Little - not a record I'm particularly fond of, but seems to have made major impact on the scene despite being pretty dull in my opinion

Come on guys we need a few more mp3s stuck up.

I do appreciate some tracks are not in the public domain,

so lets just post whats available.

I'd like to see what your average soulies favourite tune is from the past 5 years.

Don't think so. Norris Vines is last 5 years max. If Girth is reading maybe he'll confirm.

Thought Papa Bear was an iffy one... I know it's only been in the limelight over last year or so, and until now seemed unknown & therefore recent discovery, hense me suggesting it.

No bother though... what you think about the others?

Pretty sure Norris Vines lot longer than 5 years. Papa Bear been known about some years so therefore not a recent discovery...maybe to you. As for others probably been known about but not had the exposure, same as a lot of stuff...doesn't make them recent discoveries though does it. I mean someone new to the scene most records will be new discoveries whistling.gif

Personally the record of recent times would probably have to be something like Rhythm Machine or Trace of Smoke or Soul Inc - My Proposal or one of those tricky new jobbies or sumat

By unknown I meant unknown to the everyday soul fan. It's a personal fave of mine and I know the Japs are on their knees for it, but haven't spoke or played it to one person who knows it yes.

Same with Black Essence; I know it's known to the modern soul crowd, but seems no-one knows it on the Northern scene.

I've decided not to post in this top anymore as I can't do so without being made fun of sad.gif I'm an idiot....Ok a bloody idiot but I think what I think and like a fart in a church the words just come out huh.gif

Was originally a Dean Anderson spin I think (covered as Rufus Lumley) and was then picked up by Keb - first played around '83/'84

Just to clarify.

What I'm looking for is the nominations for the best records that started to get heard at dos by your average soulie from 2000 onward.

Because a tape or acetate existed before 2000 & was heard by half a dozen people shouldn't stop that record from going into the poll.

Guest in town Mikey

Soul Inc - My Proposal

link

Is that less than 5 years old? It seems to have been around for ages. Top top tune mind.

Margaret little would defo get my vote.

If you stretch the dates ever so slightly - Little Ann

And, at the time, Joey Delorenzo split the scene right down the middle. Love it or hate it, everyone had an opinion. Which in my book makes it worth at least a mention.

I love it BTW whistling.gif

Trace Of Smoke made waves on the funk and soul scenes. Oh and a local trendy bar in Chelmsford as well. The Chavs loved it! :thumbsup:

Tickled Pink "Reach Out (and Give Me Your Hand)" on Pink Knip is awesome and up there along side any of Butch's fancy cover ups and just as rare. It may have been 'discovered' in 1999 though, althoguh pretty sure it was after the turn of the century.

Rokk "Patience" has to be up there.

Two Plus Two? It's a bit too good for wide spread apeal though, i would guess. whistling.gif

Reginald Milton "Clap Your Hands"

Hamilton Movement? I think it's kind of fizzled out though and it's life will be limited so probably shouldn't be up there. whistling.gif

Think Just Brothers been around from early 80's....John Vincent had it first I think off John Anderson(?) he did tell the story on here once, offered it to Searling who gave it back sying too good for Northern Scene (at the time I presume) whistling.gif Maybe he read this and tell it again whistling.gif

Some of the best for me:

Benny Harper - My prayer - Harper soul, >>>click to listen<<< - Not really a recent discovery, was found 18 years ago or so, according to Butch... Don't know how much it was played back then, fairly unknown until now so quite relevant to the topic. Totally blew my mind when I heard it for the first time two years ago.

Masqueraders - Good news - unissued

Two Plus Two - I'm sure - Velgo

-There's a link to a sound file somewhere on the forum, mean & moody Detroit soul, just the way I like it)

I also like Brenda Holloway's "Crying time" and Butch's new Masqueraders c/up ain't too bad either!
