Ok, nothing earth shattering and probably been done many times before, but.....

Shit day at work, need something to lift the spirits, look at the sounds and think "that will do" -

Robert John - "Raindrops, love and sunshine" followed by,

We The People - "Making my daydream real"

All of a sudden the world seems a better place.

What does it for you?

Seriously, don't think there are many Nsoul tracks that don't ? But back to the wall i'll pick 'The Visitors - I'm In Danger' Such a bouncy happy track

When the horns break kicks in on Cecil Washington - I Don't Like to Lose, could happily have a heart attack whilst dancin' at that moment, you'll always catch me grinning like a mad man at that point.

Terry Callier - Ordinary Joe

And . . . for very personal memory reasons Eddie Parker - I'm Gone

Brian

Yes i do know it!! I always play the flip to see if i,ve got two for the price of one

JB xxxKTFxxx

i know its not every ones taste but stone love by the suprems does it for me

Bobby Hebb - LOVE LOVE LOVE

Richard Temple - 'That Beatin' Rhythm' - always guaranteed to make me feel uptempo.

One thats doing it for me at the moment as seems to be getting plays wherever I am at present is -

Bob Relf - Blowing My Mind To Pieces

Have always wanted one and finally aquired one other day ( thanks Nev).

Totally uplifting and is what its all about after sh*t day at work & visit to dentist.

Also agree with last couple of posts - Bobby Hebb & Richard Temple plus Jackie Lee - Temptation Walk.

Dave.

Deep Sensation- Somewhere, Somehow (there's a Soul heaven)

Im not to big in to the Soulful House, but there is the odd gem and this one of them. It actually uses Syl Johnson's "Is it becuase Im black?" over an old salsoul riff and the result is so soulful.

Lot's of records make my heart smile , but three in particular would be

Solomon King - This Beautiful Day

Lou Roberts - Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Love

Unique Blend - Yes I'm In Love

Lot's of records make my heart smile , but three in particular would be

Solomon King - This Beautiful Day

Lou Roberts - Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Love

Unique Blend - Yes I'm In Love

This track always makes me happy so many good memory's of dancing to this uplifting track that sounded fantastic in that big ballroom at Wigan, (I know it was played well before the Casino but that room just seamed to lift a lot of records!)

Prince Phil Mitchell "I'm so happy" this always gives me a smile like a Cheshire cat!

Steve J
