Modern Soul is a term created by the northern soul community to describe records that, by date or design, do not fit into the classic northern format but are/were played on the UK rare soul scene. Away from northern, the term is so vague as to be meaningless, unless you just literally mean new releases. 'Modern Soul' only means something in a northern soul context.  Other black music fans would probably be bewildered at something from 1972 being called modern.

[i've just had a flashback: hasn't this sort of debate been on site before?]

Just had a re-read of this many tracks I've added to my collection during the last few (7) years 

 

Ain't seen Connie Laverne on GSF yet though?

 

An' LLoyd Prices LP only version of You Bought It on Yourself.

Hence the term 'Crossover'

No crossover is something else: midtempo 60/70's records that didn't recieve northern soul exposure [or very little] when first discovered being considered to slow 'n' subtle. Modern soul on the other [see my previous post on this thread] did.

I'm now going to lie in a darkened room...or go to work...one or the other.

There are so many but these two are always getting plays in this record room

 

Yolanda Adams open my heart  Silks mix

 

 

 

 

 

Curtis Mayfield Freddies dead remix

 

 

Gawd Smudger! I rate Yolanda Adams but I'm really not sure of that remix.

 

This is contemporary Gospel but, for me, shows Yolanda in a better light.

 

This will always be Yolanda Adams' finest moment for me personally.

 

Could go big as well (as they say) plus it's on 7 inch vinyl, quality remix.

Has this been pitched down to -8?

Tom Glide love this tune, hope it comes out on a  seven

Big soulful dance @ lytham tune i heard back in about 2006

No idea mate, it's simply a Barry White / Unlimited Gold pastiche which I think personally works very well.  I had fun doing the label though, I have to say, I love stuff like that.

Nice label Rodge.

Neo smile better on the 12 than that remix IMHO

Al Johnson - It’s Been Too Long

Mighty Sam McLain - Use Me

My favourite version of that is the Steve Silk Hurley mix. I think this is the same version as the 12" i have but sounds like it's pitched up a bit.

Whole Lotta You In Me - Brotherly Love

Like Donnie Ray, good singer I think.......just wish the productions values were a bit higher. This is a nice track but real horns could have lifted it up a gear or two.
