The Yank Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Most of the albums I would have chosen have already been listed. I'm going to stay away from the obvious (Marvin, Stevie, Isleys, O'Jays etc) and go with these- Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes- "To Be True" Rufus- "Rags To Rufus" Temptations- "A Song For You" Cheryl Lynn (1st album) Idris Muhammed- "Turn This Mutha Out" Al Green - "I'm Still In Love With You" Donna Summer- "A Love Trilogy" Trammps (Golden Fleece) Blackbyrds- "City Life" Ashford and Simpson- "So, So Satisfied" Barry White- "Songs For Someone You Love" Ecstasy, Passion & Pain (Roulette) And 2 from the very early part of the decade- Four Tops- "Still Waters" Supremes- "New Ways, But Love Stays" 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soulatthedale Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Some brilliant albums already mentioned, heres a few off the top of my head apologies if theyve been included earlier Laura Lee Same Wonderful album from one of Souls finest ladies Laura Lee Womens Love Rights As above! Persuaders Thin Line Between Love And Hate Brilliant album from a vastly underrated group. Persuaders Peace In The Valley Of Love As above! Bobby Hill Ill Be Your Rainbow Another of Soul musics underrated and underplayed heroes. William De Vaughn Be Thankful For What you Got Superb LP from someone who should have gone on to become one of Soul musics superstars. Intruders Energy Of Love Contains fantastic version of the above, just waiting to be played by any DJ who claims to love crossover Soul. Bobby Patterson Its Just A Matter Of Time Defies description, as does his Sunday afternoon session at Southport weekender. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Petedillon Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Great choices. I’d add the Persuasions - Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me. Atco. To that list Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Totally agree. I don't have listed it on my favorite 70's Soul LP's, despite the fact I'm a Philly Soul Lover, because I don't like to hear the whole album non - stop, IMHO there's some tracks I can't hear, too much "edulcorate" for my taste, but the 90% of the album is a masterpiece. Before I found the album (originally pressed in the USA in a second - hand store in Barcelona) I purchased the single (with little hole!) "It's Forever" w/b "Sexy Ways", my absolute Ebony's favorite! What a powerful baritone voice! Happens to me the same thing with others 70's albums: MFSB "Universal Love", when sounds the track "Let's Go Disco", I can't wait for advance to the next track ("K-Jee") or my favorite Stylistics album "Rpckin' Roll Baby" when sounds the title track,IMHO, so out of context in his feel, the rest of the album is so mellow, specially "Payback Is A Dog". Also with The Dramatic's "Dramatic Way", there's some too much disco-flavoured tracks that makes this album an album I can't hear non - stop track by track; or the album "Magic" by The Floaters (some very good tracks and in the middle, edulcorate ballads)...
