Hi All

When I pulled into my work car park this morning my CD player was belting out (it was early) Ray Charles "I Don't Need No Doctor" and as I opened the window to activate the barrier it must have been a trifle loud because as I parked one of the lads who works with me walked over and opened the car door and SHOUTED what the #$%^ is that, it sounds awesome.

I restarted the track and of course that intro kicked in and he just shakes his head and asks me if he can have a copy on CD and are all the Soul songs like that

So good people based on the above what do I put on the CD?

Might have a new convert on our hands so pick wisely

Cheers

Steve

three that I'd say would appeal to first time listeners:

Lou Pride ICHITM

Luther Ingram IIATSTYB

Sam Dees LFYB
