Given his stature and impact on music, JB is a very marginal figure in world of the UK rare soul scene. But he was extremely prolific and I have always had a soft spot for the more soulful excursions to be found on his LPs, productions, etc.. So I thought I would start a thread to gather some of them together. 

A few to kick off with:

 

 

 

 

Any more..? :-)

I like most of his stuff, funky, deep or instrumentals, a soul music icon.

One of my favorites - This is the full album mix but you can get a 45 with Part 1 and part 2 on the flip. Part 1 of the single has a shorter intro (link under this video)

Love the .."your love was good for me"....the deep "lost someone " off the same album is another favourite of mine....the man was a genius ...

Real glad someone thought to do this, same as Tomo and Dave, I love the guy, defo "The hardest working man in show business" thanks Tomo for putting me onto this and many more, could go on about his lack of exposure on the British rare soul scene but it will turn into a rant, I think you know the problem being in that word RARE, enough said, lets enjoy the man

Can't  seem to find a YouTube clip but:

"Why did you take your love from me" off the "I can't stand myself" LP is a firm fave of mine 

So many to go at Son of Stan but heres one to start and as it is ......summertime !

Cheers Paul

Been a favourite round our way since the mid 80s when our old mate Paul Guntrip put us on to it.
