Latin Soul

Posted

The other day I posted a thread on Cal Tjader's brilliant Soul Sauce that was moved for lord knows what reason?

Any way I am now convinced that The Soul Source Thought Police are now watching me so I will move swiftly along to the subject of my next post.....................

Latin Soul, Cal Tjader's Soul Sauce gives you a real taste of latino vibe and there are others that have "Crossed over" from that genre to Northernsoul.

Ricardo Ray - Nitty Gritty is an absaloute peach of a track that I'm sure would make a coma patient's foot tap! Again I have never heard this played at a venue but I would love to see it get some floor time.

Shirley Ellis - The Nitty Gritty is an exellent track as well but in my opinion lacks the explosive energy as the Ricardo Ray version and I thin k it was recorded live, which one is the original I do not know? Shirley recorded the track in 1963 and Ricardo Ray in 1968 this would suggest that Shirleyn is the original but I am not convinced as it is a step away from her norm although she was regarded as a bit of a novelty act, any Shirley Ellis spotters out there?

My next Latin sound is The Showmen - Our Love Will Grow, Latino? You tell me, but I hear the beat.

Johnny Caswell - You Don't Love Me Anymore

Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up

Gil Scott-Heron - The Bottle

Doug Banks - I Just Kept on Dancing

Any others or has my ear gone tits up?

Reg, just seen the Latino thread that you started and the first track you posted up

Hector Rivera - Do it to me is brilliantttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt! please post it up again.

There was a period in the mid stafford era when a lot of Latin flavours came into vogue. Some of the tunes listed in that thread seemed to filter around the 100 club Stafford and the rest of the big nighters of that era.

Dave Flynn had a load of these at the time, I still have things like Spanish Maiden Tony Middleton, You can't run away from me The Wanderers etc etc.

Joe Bataan - So Young, Too Young (Ok, so it's not that latin sounding, but it's bloomin' good)

Cheers,

I'm quite partial to the latin sound.

Two i particularly enjoy

Tony Middleton - Spanish Maiden

Hayward Lee - Oogaloo

gary

The Johnny Caswell tune..What a cracker! :D

"Billy Hawks - Ooh baby,I believe I'm losing you.." is a bit of a fave of mine at the mo'...Also digging Willie Bobos' version of Sunshine Superman but I guess that's just the camp side of me coming out :rolleyes:

Paul

Willie

LV Wilson - Dont on Vivid - recently got a cracked copy - tried to repair with little success

Anyone know this at all?

L B Wilson goes for about £20.....put the superglue away and scour ebay for a cheap one :unsure:

Shirley Ellis was the original 'nitty gritty girl'. Her album on Congress also features 'the name game'... novelty maybe but a great tune nevertheless....

Any others or has my ear gone tits up?

How about David Coleman - Drown my heart , Sammy Ambrose- Welcome to Dreamsville? :wub:

The original latin thread of earlier this year really got me into it! My favourite is Freak Off-Larry Harlow which you can hear by clicking on my "last played" button. It really gets going towards the end! Brilliant track. :thumbsup:

Blatant plug time, but if you're into Latin soul and Boogaloo and you're in London on Thursday I'm guesting at The Social where I'll be playing a full Latin set including most of the tunes listed above. Mark Raisin is the other guest so should be a stonkin' night.

See ya there

There is a recent lp (2005) out by Joe Bataan called Call My Name on this vampisoul label thats got some smokin' tracks on it. Totally vintage 70s latin goove stuff, worth checking out if he floats your boat.

Hello Latin Soul lovers,

If I can, I will try to post two files with the "Shing-a-ling" song by Willy Bobo on Verve. The original version and the alternative one.

So, you can compare the two takes.
