Hi there,

did anyone catch the documentary on bbc2 last nite - "Real Litte Britains"? Part way through the programme i suddenly got a tingle down me spine as i heard the amazing "California Montage", by Young Holt. Not what i expected to hear at all, but a pleasant surprise..........

Saw that too. Was quite suprised. 100 greatest no 1's had a few motown numbers on too so not a bad night for soul on the tv.

And of course, one of the featured "Real Britons" was Robyn, (or Rob)-pre-op transsexual and formerly of this Northern Soul parish!

I couldn't disagree more....

Played as an ender to drive people out of the venue quickly, so the staff could get on with the clean up, surely?

WOOF!

I agree with you. The only thing soulful about it was that I think I last heard it in an OTIS Elevator!

Each to their own, i guess..........Personally "SOUL" music to me is ANY kind of instrumental/vocal track that sends/uplifts/makes me feel gooood!!!!! and California Montage does that for me!
