June 26Jun 26 Playing this today and it's a scorcher of a compilation. Feel good, uptempo Rhythm and Blues, it's a delightful listen.I was taken by how a good proportion of these feel equally Northern Soul, which perhaps is a reflection of how the genres have blurred and Northern Soul has embraced earlier music. R&B was always there from the start (and before that), but if this had been released as an NS themed release a fair number of the tracks wouldn't of batted anyone's eyelids on that basis.From whatever perspective, it's just a wonderful, heart warming release.The Love Train - Gamble and Huff Songbook CD is great too and had me singing along internally. It also showed how versatile their songs are to interpretation. Volume 2 must be planned already....surely....Just keep them coming Kent! It makes my month when the CDs arrive from you, since the early LPs to today. Edited June 26Jun 26 by Thinksmart
