lets see what excellent tracks are suggested .....

mine are:

Enie Washington - lonesome shack

Charles Sheffield - voodoo working

Ronnie Love - chills N fever

Otis Lee - hard row to hoe

Young Jessie - brown eyes

would be easier to do a top 20 though!

off the top of my head .....

johnnie taylor - blues in the night

margaret lewis - somethings wrong baby

joe tex - pneumonia

rose mitchell - baby please don't go

little johnny taylor - somewhere down the line (a raging oldie but one o the best)

Mickie Champion "What Good Am I" (Musette)

Big Daddy Rogers "I'm A Big Man" (Midas)

Jimmy Fraser/YOP "Of Hopes And Dreams And Tombstone" (Columbia)

5 Royales "Catch That Teardrop" (Home Of The Blues/Abc)

Roscoe Shelton "Running For My Life" (SS7)

My top 5 would be ;

Charles Sheffield - It's your voodoo working

Kurt Harris - Emperor of my baby's heart

Mighty Sam - Fannie Mae

& a couple of recent additions to my collection that seem to be glued to my turntable at the moment ;

Roscoe Robinson - What Makes A Man Do Wrong

Hank Ballard & the Midnighters - Do It Zulu Style (brilliant tune that just blew me away from the first time i heard it when posted on this site by Pikey's Dog, superb !)

All time?

Got My Mojo Working - Muddy Waters

Dimples - John Lee Hooker

Who Knows - Marion Black

Finkel's Cafe - Alexis Korner's R&B Inc.

I've Been Weeping and Crying - Laurel Aitken

Cheers

Do you have to own them to list them?

I ain't got the 1st one on my list (Ray Agee) but it's my favourite R&B tune of all time so I'm gonna list it.

If I'm allowed to include Ray Agee of course (since so many argue its Northern Soul not R&

If you have to own 'em to list em I'll change list accordingly.....

1. Ray Agee - I'm losing again

2. Danny Owens - You're a little too late

3. Young Jessie - You were meant for me

4. Sugar Boy Williams - Little Girl

5. Junior Parker - Why do you make me cry

Last one is a beauty of a tune, worth about £10- £15 but as good as any big money item and should be played everywhere (in my humble and modest opinion of course)
