I have been in love lately with hard soul tracks like Isonics - Sugar and The Exits - You Got To Have Money and Otis Jackson and the Compromisers - Turn off the Lights. with a latin rock/soul edge to them. Any further reccomendations for soul records with this type of sound?

Long time no hear Brett , you ok.

Surely a candidate for the greatest Latin influenced Soul / RnB record ever played on the soul scene is:

" Call On Me" : Bobby Bland

Old timers from the Wheel tell me this was a massive favourite at the time, made all the more surprising because it was played as an import, it was never released on a UK Seven !

The New Latin Breed - Heads Head is rather good and will no doubt feature at some point at "You Know You Got Soul" in Chelmsford August 27th

Sorry for the plug, but it's a charity event so you can't knock me for it

Fekkin' brilliant, that one, both sides!!! Worth a visit for that cut alone, although I would'nt doubt a sick set that evening...

A little out of the way from Los Angeles though

Anyone on this thread heard The Montereys (East La vocal group 1964-5 ?) on Arwin's tune "It hurts me so"?

Find it while its still affordable, you'll be glad you did....

El Chicano deserve some investigation as well

The V.I>P's

The Lad Teens....

Start here!

Stevie - the format is MP3 but it may depend on your settings. Always had problems converting files etc but try again with this. Should be OK if you've got Windows Media Player.

If thats no good I'll put a CD together and make sure its on it.

This the tune that is really doin' it for me right now......................just lurvvvvvvvvvvve this.

Harvey Averne Dozen - Never Learned to Dance...............just drags ya kickin & screamin onto the floor !!!!! 'Do it to Me Bass Man'. The breaks are to die for, the dancers should be demanding this, latin soul for the dancefloor & then some.

Anyone not heard Harvey Averne, check out his other stuff on the jukebox "Think it over" Top notch!


Anyone notice King Errison appearing in the background of a scene in Dr. No, BTW?? (I think it was Dr No, defo a Connery Bond anyhoo )

we play latin tinged music from right through the 60s at Pow Wow club in Sheffield. From stuff like Bobby Scott - i gotta run now from late 50s / early 60s via stuff like David Coleman 'drown my heart' & Benny Spellman 'this is for you...' to stuff from the late 60s / early 70s, like this one which is pretty good, a Jimmy SAbater 45 on Tico. Middle 8's a bit dodgy but wait till the end...'roll wit yo bad self momma!':

Absolutley in love with this track at the moment !!! Saw a copy go for a pittance on Ebay about 12 months ago, was about to bid & computor had a wobbly !

Adding to the thread, always liked those tracks with a bit of latin influence. One of the first, & one of my favourites, which i don't think anyone has mentioned, "Johnny Caswell - You Don't Love Me Anymore

Would love to hear this but can't load it...I get real player ok,can it be sent in that format...
