Funky Si Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Happy Birthday to Me! Down side of having a Birthday on a Monday - I have the day off but everyone else is getting their week's work started. So I'm going to play some of my favourite tunes & share them with whoever wants to join in. Please feel free to turn me on to new & old sounds, funk, soul, blues, jazz, whatever. Just keep smiling with me all day long! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Funky Si Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Playmates - the regents - blue cat 14612 refosoul Something to set the mood for the day - warning, not compatible with being serious! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Funky Si Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Sing A Simple Song - sly & the family stone - direction Warning, purists will find themselves tutting, chin strokers will be clutching their mandibles & I'm in trouble if the soul police locate my secret soul den! If you object to my choices, then please know that I am not trying to upset anyone - post up something you would see as more appropriate! I am always open to passionate, uplifting or inspiring soul/jazz/blues/funk music. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Funky Si Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 New Orleans - the staple singers - curtom Three things I'm a big fan of - The Staples Singers, Curtis Mayfield and New Orleans!

YKSoulMan Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Happy Birthday Funky Si from a fellow Yorkie. Still not sure how to post a choon up on here but being a dinosaur(according to some) you'd probably not care for my selections as I'm still stuck in the 60's although I am playing a bit more of the 70's these days. Anyway have a good day and enjoy yourself. Steve B Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Funky Si Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Music For My Mother - funkadelic - westbound Everyone should remember their mother on their Birthdays! Cheers Mum.

Anyway have a good day and enjoy yourself. Steve B Cheers Steve, I love 60s music - I've just not got much in my collection apart from motown, Aretha, Jackie Wilson, James Brown, a few tunes I used to play at my early-80s Manchester Student Union 60s nights (Arther Conley, Joe Tex, Lee Dorsey, Sly Stone, etc), and a smattering of scratched old things from eBay job lots. You can always add stuff from refosoul if you can't post you own sounds - you need to find the track in the Sounds section, find it's reference number (click on the little logo that looks like a piece of paper), then click on the Insert refosoul clip link in the Quick Access panel on the left side of the reply page. Put the reference number in & you're away. You'll need to add the name of the track too! Funky Si - 44 today Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Funky Si Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Shake and Fingerpop - jr. walker - soul Why is Jr. Walker never mentioned as one of the inventors of funk? This was made in 1965 & it sounds funky to me .... Roadrunner is probably my top soul sound of all time - but then Higher & Higher, How Sweet It Is, Tracks of My Tears, etc are all probably my top soul sound of all time ...

Funky Si Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Let Your Mind Be Free - brother to brother - turbo Just a good time boy really - don't get me wrong, I enjoy all the political threads & I have my serious side, but soul for me is about good times. If I want an argument, there's plenty of them happening in the real world. No need to go online to have a pointless slanging match, I find! So let you mind be free, stand firm stand tall, lets get it orn, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ... You know it makes sense! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Funky Si Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 You Are My Sunshine - dyke & the blazers - original sound When it comes to deep down, low & dirty, soulful funk cover versions of silly pop songs, this one does it for me every time! Why are Dyke & the Blazers so seemingly unpopular? Are they too raucous for the soul fans & too soulful for the funksters? Did they commit some terrible offence & get put away by the soul police? Can anyone explain ....? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
