Andykempster Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I’ve been dipping my toe into the modern soul pond a bit more recently and would be interested in hearing what others consider to be the cream of the crop. I know it is quite a broad description but in general I’ve been listening to late 70’s early 80’s releases, although as with everything there are always exceptions Album tracks also seem to be much more of feature I’ll be looking forward to listening to any recommendations Cheers, Andy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Alan T Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Goldmine / Soul Supply did a great modern soul series back in the 90s. 6 CDs full of classics.
