Apologies in the slight delay for uploading the latest show onto mixcloud....here it is in all its glory.....hard dancefloor funk cuts, to 5 seminal sweet soul beauties, then onto a selection of heavy duty modern soul and disco tunes. An hour of niceness you might not have heard before and a clutch of rare soul music to get your teeth into. Comments and questions are welcomed. Cheers all! Here's the 40th installment of The Divine Chord Gospel Show which appears monthly on dublab.com. https://www.mixcloud.com/gregbelson/divine-chord-gospel-show-pt-40/ For this session, things get busy from the get go with a superb unreleased as yet gospel mash-up from the Divine Light Assembly, before heading into the breakladen funk of Gus Poole. Cliff Mason delivers a killer soulful groove, and the Staple Singers bring it on home. For pt. 2, we head to sweet soul territory with the killer rarity on the Memorial label by the Eveready Singers....there's 5 cuts in the shortened section for this month, but everyone is a sublime killer. The Stars of Glory? Yeah, insane..... To close out this month, we kicks things off with the beautiful Bobby Fulton groove extended LP version before heading to dancefloor territory. Huge cuts from the Mockingbirds of the South, Preston Wiggins, Charlie Clemons & Michael Orr. Amazing club tunes, no doubt! Feel free to join the facebook group 'The Divine Chord Gospel Show'!

If you're willing to pay a bit more, I really recommend these by Technics.....I primarily use them for DJ'ing, but they're great for casual listening too. Very comfortable ear pads, good tension in the head band, and an excellent, clear signal. Plus they fold down for easier transportation, if you're on the move. https://www.djkit.com/technics/technics-rpdj1200-headphones.html

Tracks 10, 11 and 12, at least

Still looking.....thanks!

Just thought I'd add my two pence, for what it's worth.....I was lucky enough to see the movie in Los Angeles at an advanced screening 6 months ago. There were a cross section of Los Angelino soulies, and some ex pats, a few of which had first hand experience of Wigan and suchlike. Afterwards, we all discussed the merits of the film, the accuracy, the highs, the lows, and it stimulated a lot of great chat between like-minded folk of all ages, whether they were there or not. And I think that in itself is rather special.....bringing people together through soul music. Personally I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'll show my support 100%......a great, well thought out attempt to document a historic time, that can talk to everybody and not just the soulies that were there. And that's where this movie could and should succeed.

Yeah, I'll agree with you there, mate.....uniquely awful, unless you're into barbershop raga harmonies. Yuck.

The vocals on the Caprells just makes me wanna go to the bar, bathroom, or just leave the venue for 3 minutes 20 seconds. Barber shop raga quartet breakdowns whilst trying to maintain a shred of soul, just doesn't do it for me. How Wanda actually ended up in a studio is a mystery....the backing band on the other hand, are pretty great!

Please join me on dublab.com, Wednesday 24th September @ 2pm US PST (10pm UK time), for the next installment of the Divine Chord Gospel Show pt. 39.... https://dublab.com/ For pt. 39, we kick off with the killer meandering soul of the Crowns of Glory and the haunting take of 'Ain't no sunshine'. And then we'll steadily up the pace to round out the set. For the deep soul section, check out the amazing version of 'Wade in the water' to get things started.....and we'll bring the session to a head in crossover territory including the current in demander by the Dynamic Dixie Travelers.
