"Baby don't change your mind" Gladys & the Pips

"Never too much" Luther Vandross: always makes me feel happy, even on a dull rainy day like today

Bring the Family Back - Billy Paul

" Young Hearts Run Free "

NEW YORK DOLLS -JET BOY JET GIRL

Sorry to be picky Baz but Jet Boy Jet Girl was actually by Captain Sensible & The Softies, just after he left the Damned for the first time. Also recorded by someone called Elton Motello who was supposed to be that bloke with the irritating accent from Masterchef. I know you meant Jet Boy by the New York Dolls

Bring the Family Back - Billy Paul

That's reminded me of summer 76 -

Billy Paul - let's make a baby

The Manhattans - Let's just kiss and say goodbye

Girlfriend in a coma

She didn't pull through, apparently...

TONE

just cant give u up --brilliant, still got 12"

Still love all the stuff that charted by "War"

Me & baby brother, Low rider, Cisco kid & especially Galaxy.

Good dirty funk

Brilliant! Not heard this for ages. Wasn't it in the first Rocky film?

Yes it was - also if you listen to the chorus it's the same tune as the main Rocky Theme.

Too many to name but i do like KC and the Sunshine Band - Give It Up must be played at any Disco night.

The Jacksons - Blame It On The Boogie

Jimmy James and the Vagabonds - Now Is The Time and I'll Go Where The Music Takes Me

The Real Thing - You To Me Are Everything

Atlantic Starr - Always (such a classic love song)

anyone mentioned the spinners 'its a shame'?

My favourite Motown record full stop.

A few of my favourites from that era are:-

Syl Johnson - We did it - London.

Damon Shawn - Feel the need in me - Janus.

Trammps - Where do we go from here - Golden Fleece.

The Detroit Spinners - I'll be around - Atlantic.

Average White Band - Atlantic Avenue - RCA.

Cate Brothers - Easy way out (b side to Union Man) - Asylum.

the last two most would probably not consider as soul music but to me they are extremely soulful compared with some mainstream soul tracks ie Whitney Houston etc.

Non Soul Stuff.

The Corgi's - Everybody's got to learn sometimes.

Hot Gossip - Break me into little pieces.

Kissing the pink - Never too late to love you.

Big Audio Dynamite - E = mc2.

Junior Murvin - Police and thieves.

Wah - Story of the Blues.

It's Immaterial - Driving away from home.

Regards

Alan

I Can Understand It - Bobby Womack

Sort of nearly forgot about WAR. The World Is A Ghetto is fabulous and I'm now going to find the LP's and play them. Quite liked Cymande from the same era (Deliver the message?) As for singles, I like most of what's been mentioned plus Gene Chandler 'does she have a friend for me?' When he sings "there's moon out tonight and I don't want to be alone" I could cry for the bloke! Regards Ade

One popped into my head at the supermarket this morning.

Luther - never too much

most of big bazza white's EXCEPT the really famous one the name of which escapes (first last everything, that one.)

Stylistics - you make me feel brand new - i put this on in my local pub's jukebox the other week - and the landlord, in the other room, couldn't belive that anyone could've put THIS on, thought it was on 'auto-select' and flicked the next tune on!! cheeky so-and-so - i made him play it again, only louder.

average white band - let's go round again

average white band - let's go round again

Tavares "Heaven must be missing an angel"

Harold Melvin "The love I lost"

Supremes "Up the ladder to the roof"

Jones Girls? "I believe in miracles"

Can't Remember who sang it, maybe the stylistics

Loads and loads...off the top of my head

Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you leave me now, I don't know where to look for love, I really don't know how

Chi Lites, " Oh Girl "

Agree with all these

Quite like "i will survive" still

Never really liked "I Will Survive" big tune though, did'nt like Young Hearts Run Free much either or Hold Back The Night by The Trammps......................Don't think anyone has mentioned The Tams - Hey Girl Don't Bother Me, still like this even though it got played to death also Girls by The Moments & Whatnauts......................love Misty Blue by Dorothy Moore which has been mentioned

Anyone mentioned Detroit Spinners-Working My Way Back To You?

Loads and loads...off the top of my head

"Girls by The Moments & Whatnauts" heehee not bad. agree with i will survive & young hearts run free - never done it for me. go stand 'over there' with hot chocolate

am i right in thinking the tams only charted on the back of northern soul success? i'm sure it charted around '74...
