I was enjoying reading the DJ playlists on Craig Moerer's website and was impressed with the great variety of sounds people were playing. Which made me think it might be fun for Soul Sourcers to imagine having a half hour 'spot' in a City 'Funky' Style cafe. 12 sounds - not particularly rare or necessarily danceable, preferably fairly easy to pick up, just sounds that you think people would enyoy hearing over a few drinks. Here's a starter from me;
The Amazing Rhtyhm Aces - Mystery Train - ABC great version
Rufus Thomas - Memphis Train - Stax
Al Greene - Right Now, Right Now - Hi
Mel Torme - Right Now - Atlantic
Mighty Clouds Of Joy - Time - ABC
James Brown -There Was A Time - King
The Isley Brothers - Live It Up - Epic
The Brothers Johnson - I'll Be Good To You - A&M
Jimmy Ricks & Lavern Baker - You're The Boss - Atlantic
Erma Franklin - Big Boss Man - Shout
Lee Moses - Day Tripper - Musicor
El Chicano - Eleanor Rigby - Kapp
They dont have to be your favourites or 'top' sounds and you don't have to have my dodgy links either. Just have fun!
