Absoloutly tons, as someone sez depends on time, day, and mood. One i always enjoy listening to, and playing Chuck Jackson "what's with this loneliness"

Cant believe no one hasnt said mine

JEAN CARTER - I WANNA KNOW -

Butch c/u

what a dancer

also luv

SANDY GOLDEN - YOUR LOVE IS EVERYTHING

Jean Carter is an amazing NS record - however, as its an unissued, one - off, uncredited acetate, I doubt very much if it will ever come on to the open market. But agree with the sentiment Keith.

So you're including pop records as well as soul?

Just says "Dream record of all time", doesn't mention soul.

Just saying, my dream record of all time is "I Saw The Light" but it's not a soul record.

Wouldn't mind a copy of Karmello Brooks - Tell Me Baby  or George Blackwell - Can't Lose My Head    

Larry Clinton, She's Wanted In Three States for me, best record ever imo OR

Mello Souls

Loving your choice of tunes , especially George Tindley.

 

Cracking version of dancing a hole of the world by the Esquires too at a fraction of the price, looking for that myself

Just flogged one this week! Best version as well

Given the link between emotion and music I would say this question is almost 'Infinite' by way of answer, or at least it is in terms of the universe of music.

My personal choice based upon nothing more than a 'peak memory' is Darrell Banks 'Open The Door To Your Heart'. Really, just has meaning for me and I wouldn't expect it to be significant to anyone else unless they also happen to have particularly good memories associated with that track.

Empires “You’re On Top” Candi for me, brings back great memories on the dance floor. 

Well if we are going for DREAM records not necessarily soul 

this is an old jah shaka dub plate by johnny clarke  called jah give i the power 

released by shaka with bass dropped sooo low in the mix 

but shakas dub playe mix is killer the bass is just incredible on his valve dound system 

been skanking to this from time

Spelling mistskes due to my fat builder fingers soz

Master tapes damaged beyond repair so a truely rare tune never to be cut to plate cleanly again 

Eddie Billups"Ask My Heart"Orig Peachtree.....I'm 42 years old and have been wanting that since i was in my teens when i first heard it....Id be happy with a knackered copy......I'm sure I'll never own one:(

Impossible to keep just one record out of several 10,000s.  The old desert island problem.  But, I never even had a single favourite song from the first day in 1953, when I heard both "Red Sails In The Sunset" and "My Saddest Hour" by The Five Keys, and "Golden Teardrops" by The Flamingos.   All 3 are STILL my "favourite song" to this day 66 years later, and there are probably more than 100 more added to them, which mean not one iota less to me than those 3.

Robb Love the Originals version of Red Sails In The Sunset from their "Baby, I'm For Real" LP (1969) bit later than the '53 pressing, pity the Originals version isn't on Youtube.

I'd like to hear that.  I'm a big fan of The Originals.  I've liked C. P. Spencer since his time with The Five Jets, starting in 1954.

WOW!  Ray Stevens, C&W/Novelty singer, of "Ahab The Arab" fame, produced that song.  Will wonders never cease?
