Harrogatesoul Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Lee Charles — I Never Want To Lose My Sweet Thing / Girl You Turned Your Back On My Love (Bamboo) £12 SOLD!!! Chicago legend. ‘Sweet Thing’ still sounds fresh. Flip finds Lee in more melancholy mood with a great soulful performance. What a fine singer. Who’s who of Chicago soul on writing/production credits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ewd1DZZY80 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xGGIt1zI9Y Act IV — A Better Man Than I (Cub) £10 (Nice northern group mid tempo that nicely builds swoops n soars!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6YGtS5CxXE Vernon Harrell — Your Love (Score) £4 (Nice northern dancer — cheap!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWYpLiM05vQ David Ruffin — Break My Heart (WB) £4 I miss this man.. and cuts like this.

Brilliant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obJwxJLEM0g Na Allen — Hard To Do Without You / Love Don’t Come Easy (Pedestal) £10Did this man ever make a bad record? Me thinks not.

GREAT 80s southern soul cut from one of the legends. Typical (brilliant!) malaco production with McKinley just oozing n dripping soul.. knocked out by this upon spinning again. Flip is slow n moody soulful n bluesy. Knockout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFZONHd0JDE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl4iWDkNQIo Nia Johnson — You Are The Spice Of My Life / Plain Out Of Luck (Mainstream) £12 ‘Spice’ is a wonderful dreamy mid tempo with Nias’ vocals soaring sweetly.
