Soulman58

At her peak one of the best I've seen live. Live acts when they are clearly past their best are not for me,

VFTS - the best Soul mag even IMHO

It depends on one's cup of tea. Apart from those listed Mick Cooper's Searching For The Soul has a good mix

What about Sad Souvenirs by the Isley Brothers

Don't tip them, to this day regret tipping just about every blues and soul from sometime in 72 to approx late 80s. VFTS stored safely.

True but v little matches BofB

Some crackers there.

Starting to watch the West Wing again and it stands the test of time pretty well, given the cast. I cant help but wonder if Jed Bartlett stood as an independent now, if he would beat the 2 old codgers who are likely to be gong head to head again.

Totally agree re Harry/I Can Understand It still got the same copy which plays good. Harry was slso one of his best live

I've got a headache trying to decide!! I'll go with a group first. Four Tops - first song that made me sit up. Baby I Need Your Loving

Totally agree a grey watch.

And one to our better halves everywhere

One for the wife.

This works for more and a decent tune.

Mayor of Kingston very good series.

10-63 You And Me

How about 2 songs each. One to dance the new year in and another a hope for 2024. Sandra Wright - Midnight Affair Marvin Gaye - Save The Children

A very good watch, a mix of sounds, some good some awful, but some interesting characters. As has been said one of the best docs on the subject. Would love to see someone release a best of Soul Train series with interviews alongside some of the lesser known acts/tracks

If I had 150,000K to spare I could buy 1,000 £50 singles or LPs and a new car and have £50k left for a new holiday. Why would anyone dream of spending that much on one single even if they do rate it? Madness IMHO

Xmas treat will be watching Band of Brothers again

1893 easily the best. For me one of, if not the, best series shows ever. Reacher very good, it is much better than the films they made. Far more like the books.

Not as good as the film and he next series not as good IMHO

Can't stand the stuff, Hampshire hog here, though living across the border in Surrey. The wife was born in Lincoln, then moved to Lancs when a bairn, ending up in Surrey late teens and she loves the stuff.

Eula Cooper - Let Our Love Grow Higher

Thanks for posting these Karl, like others I did not get these, but Voices from no 4, was my reading of choice, then went back to 1-3. Rod was in my opinion, the best writer re Soul after Dave Godin, even if he sometimes sold me a dummy when I bought new releases blind. But so many others are still prized possessions. I didn't see Sam Dee's at Thorne, but did catch him at the Jazz Cafe which is my favourite concert ever, for which I am ever grateful to Rod for bringing him over.
