My 3 fave compilation lps are the following SOUL DEEP = VOLUME ONE ITS ALL PLATINUM BACKTRACK 6 Those 3 lps have been played by myself consistently over the years and i never tire of hearing them, easily obtainable as well.

If its the Label with Jean Stanback, Roy Hamilton on amongst others its Dave Godins Soul City subsidiary label from around 1969 which had 6 releases.

This one gives me goosebumps, cheap but bloody awesome. Aretha Franklin = I Can't See Myself Leaving You ( Atlantic)

Johnny T. Thompson Billy Harner Chris Farlowe And a credible version by a young white guy called Oliver Darley.

As stated in the previous post some lyrics might help, O'jays have had loads of records from the 60,s big on the northern scene so without some lyrics you are on a loser .

Could be ' Deeper ' by The Ojays

The song Jimmy Mack was written as a tribute to a deceased song writer named Ronnie Mack .

So will this be the same Jimmy Mack who also produced The Furys amongs others, who later became the TV and movie actor James Mceachin of Tenafly fame, who was also a decorated soldier.

Nice version ,also done to good effect by The Worlds Funkiest Band , as for Crossover not in my definition, a bit too gritty.

If the Northern crowd like it its Northern if they don't its Crossover.

Randy Brown = Welcome To My Room . Get the wine out and dim the lights its time for love action , i just need a woman.

Yes your right a fave of mine but IKES a very acquired taste and you either love his stuff or hate it i happen to love it.

Another one from me never ever seen this one given any due respect but to me its pure class . Bobby Womack = So Many Rivers

Two more from me . Shirley Brown = Intimate Storm, i love this lp sheer perfection. Sandra Wright = Wounded Woman. In demand album and with just cause.

Another couple from me nothing rare but both come highly recommended. Roy C = Sex And Soul , no duds on this album. Clay Hammond = Streets Will Love You , cheap but no compromise on quality.

THE ORIGINALS-PORTRAIT OF THE ORIGINALS -[for the brilliantly crafted you want hearts and flowers and the awesome since i fell for you. The Concept of this topic is great , never really played the Originals lp so will dig it out this weekend and give it a go. Keep them coming ! .

1/ Doris Duke = I'm A Loser . A truly superb lp,one i could not live without . 2/ Millie Jackson = Caught Up .Same as above. 3/ Millie Jackson = Still Caught Up . As good as the other Millie lp , great follow up. 4/ Garland Green = Jealous Kind Of Fellow. When i need a cheering up i always go to this lp, great writing ,great production and a great performance from Garland.

My all time fave by BETTY is her crunching version of Its Your Turn To Cry. Can't post it up its not in refosoul.

Is it only me but this record to my ears sounds very similar to the Otis Clay record ( On My Way Home) . Can anybody shed any light on it ? Thanks Graham

One LP not too miss is The Modulations = Its Rough Out Here , a classic album , easy to pick up it as it was reissued a few years back.

Dana Valery

August and Deneen

Listened to it last night and i really enjoyed it, great music with some great anecdotes loved the one by his daughter when asked about his singing she said he was ok but no Elvis .

Two of my faves from one of the most consistent artists of soul music, a true legend. I'M A GOOD WOMAN = BARBARA LYNN. I DON'T WANT A PLAYBOY = BARBARA LYNN.

Don't know if this has any exposure but it's been a fave of mine for 25 years or more , DAVID PORTER = IF I GIVE IT UP I WANT IT BACK . Cheap as well.
