I've been thinking about the "What Would Jesus Do" movement in the states and wondering how those principles might be applied to the soul scene.

If he were a collector would he stick to originals only, or buy the odd cheeky pressing of a sound he really liked. If he deejayed would he think it acceptable to play from CDs (for the right crowd)? If he were a promoter, what kind of do would he put on? The best in newies, thinking man's oldies, a bit of crossover and a smattering of R&B possibly? What would his views be on the subject of smoking at venues? And would he cast the record dealers out of the soul night/allnighter?

Your thoughts please...

Jesus would approach from a high plain, I'd see only his silhouette, then his shadow would fall upon me as he got ever near, within a second his eyes would look deep into mine...........His gaze would hold me for one brief moment........But then I'd notice in his hand a dirt ridden 45' vinyl record......through that filth I can make out the label "Okeh"....and the legend......Billy Butler........"The Right Track"

I turn on my heels and flee like a fiend twisted on cheap ether and mescaline.......screaming....."NEVERMORE, NEVERMORE"

Brett Franklin

Thats The Second Coming........

He'd certainly have some problems finding 3 wise men on the soul scene....

Soul music to alot of purists is the devil's music anyway much in the smae way jazz and blues are....He was a bit of a rebel though.....

What makes me laugh about christians is how they cart these crosses around with them , if by some miracle Jesus came dow to earth the last thing the geezer is gonna want to see is a bleeding cross....

Thats The Second Coming........

There are some djs / promoters on this scene who beleive they're on a higher plain already.....
