I can think of two. The Majestics & Johnny Caswell. Any others?

I'm thinking of going to Mexico City next year, so I'd like to go armed. Probably get disapproving looks!!

Dante can probably confirm this last point... :-)

Two soul tunes that sounds with mexican reminiscenses to my ears:

- The O'Jays: "Rented Tuxedo"

- The Dramatics: "I'll Make It So Good" (the vocals at the intro is totally "mariachi style")

Peace & Soul Food (and a salute to Macca from another spaniard, from Tarragona)

Oi Tyler!

mexican soul?????? surely then where talking the best of the lot "spanish maiden" by tony middleton.Blimey i see the soul scene still likes a good chat..

Its all Frynn's fault. And anyhow Tony M is a Cornetto Vendor/Sombrero Soul Crossover type record surely?

Hmmm, so Tom Jones is his own genre? Needs a name though, for both him and Dame Shirley, Valley Soul perhaps?

He's multi talented, that Mr Middleton - one minute he can rustle up a CVS ballad and the next minute a nifty piece of Sombrero Soul. Tip Top Tony Jo

Latin Breed (Jimmy Edwards) "Funky Mambo" GCP - that's my Texastwocents!

I have no idea what you mean by "Mariachi Northern" but have you considered Renaldo Domino - Don't Go Away on Smash Records

Yep, Champy rang me yesterday so I've put it in my diary! Be great if we could get Stuart Cosgrove and Caesar down as well - that'd make for a great night I'm sure!

Hola Dante, Tibablar lotro dia pa ver si tabas bien . Mexico, Cuernavaca, Sumiya tuvo chido!!! tode volaa tscribo luego Found by chance lots of 1950s 1960s videos of Holligans, Teens, Locos, etc on Utube, some good Soul covers there. Enjoy them, I did. Pal terrunio pa posadas

Fortune teller and Im standing, dont they have the old casta doo daas?

Actually after watching the movie 'From Dusk til Dawn', I wont be going to Mechicho, for a while!!!!

Its amazing that the Los Angeles 'Low Rider' scene love the flip sides (slow) to our 'Dancer' records, for example the Heartbreakers - Ive got to face it - Derby City.

Admirations another example.
