If you were playing a set for the first time post lockdown what 3 tracks would you start with?  My starter for 10.

One Step At A Time - Maxine Brown

Time To Get Down - O'Jays

Happy - William Bell

 

The Gees-It's All Over

Lenis Guess-Thank Goodness

Millie & Jackie- Never Again

 

(OK, the Lenis Guess is a ballad,but a superb bit of Deep Soul and will be an apt title.The Millie  & Jackie,for those unfamiliar,is, despite the artist/label credit  of Jackie Edwards & Millie Small, actually an instrumental and a fine,underrated one for sure (on UK Island))

Freddie Williams  -  THINGS ARE LOOKING BETTER    //  Crstal Image  -  GONNA HAVE A GOOD TIME  //  Candy and Kisses  -  OUT IN THE STREETS AGAIN  //  Sam Dees  -  I'M SO VERY GLAD  //  Eugene Record  -  OVERDOSE OF JOY                                                                                                                                

 

Shirley Ellis—Soul time...

Dobie Grey—Out On The Floor...

Roy Hamilton—The Panic Is OFF

 

Nice one MGM 1251! (especially as the latter is your namesake-or rather, 'numbersake'- record !)

Turkey Richards - I Feel All Right 

Velvet Hammer - Happy 

Brttye Lavette - I Feel Good ( All Over )

Stephen.  

 Prince Phillip Mitchell - I'm So Happy 

  The Brothers - Are You Ready For This
