The Rare Groove Selection, but the price is way over the top on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-Groove-Selection-Various-Artists/dp/B0009YVCRM/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1432581671&sr=1-1&keywords=rare+groove+selection

Calvin Richardson appear on the Essential Modern Soul forum to defend himself from a lot of unwarranted criticism for daring to release a CD of Bobby Womack covers. Cue some red faces. It was very funny.

I remember Pat Brady dj'ing early doors at Bretby in July the year after the Chris King 40th birthday bash. You were there too Dave. There was a wedding reception on, so the allnighter didn't start until a bit later.

"You're like a royal flush, next to a pair of threes" Lots of great lines in that song.

Did Whiskey Talkin' ever appear on a CD?

It was a cover of Sweet Dreams. A recent one I think, did in a retro 60s stylie. Don't know who did it though.

It first appeared legitimately on the Esther Phillips Anthology CD on Soul Brother, I think.

The original CD and on the Village Soul CD compo too.

I've got mine at long last too, with a bonus 45.

I'm sure it can be bought for £2 if you look hard enough

This is quite interesting https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2015/may/06/why-errol-brown-hot-chocolate-died-strange-group

There are people like Frances Nero who had a pop hit decades later as a result of her NS popularity. The Flirtations got a bit of a new lease of life following the KFC ad. Going back as far as the 70s may acts like The Tams, R. Dean Taylor and others sold hit records many years after their original release as a result of NS.

RIP Ben. A true great

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j7cgiFt9MA I love Jill Scott. I love Leela James and I also love Anthony Hamilton, so here's a duet from them last year

Is that from the master tapes though?

Here's one from last year I love. It's from a popular well known artist but I don't recall anyone playing it at the time. Jennifer Hudson - Just That Type Of Girl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6Yw0qlv04o

Cal Tjader - Soul Sauce

One of the greats. RIP Percy

What's wrong with Black Power? I've always liked it.

Al Green "Let's Stay Together", "tired of Being Alone"Aretha "Rock Steady", Esther Phillips, Gil Scott-Heron, etc

Luther Vandross was brilliant

I read there's a new box set of Capitol 45s coming out soon compiled by Richard

I'm still waiting for mine and received no reply to my email. Do you know if they're still experiencing problems?

Great record!

That'll bring the youngsters in lol
