Yes but many singers aimed there records at one particular, namely the R&B charts etc and if they got lucky they would then cross over to the pop charts. Much of the Motown was aimed at the pop market, much of the more soulful stuff either suffered due to lack of promotion as it didn't appeal to the white youngsters or it was canned. As for me tea I had to do it me sen so I had a blokes tea....bunged summat in the microwave and got a bottle of beer out of fridge sounds good to me Pete. I actually won a bar football tournament once in Italy when I was about 15

but these artists aren'ty the natural progression are they, artist who still put out material like Jock mentioned, Archie Bell and Jesse James and many others are the natural progression btw I also agree with everything Jock has said so far

I bet the little 'un is taller than you now

why forward think outside the box? there's 100's of records that rarely get played, many 100's forgotten about....there's also countless new releases from "proper" soul artists that deserve talking about on a soul forum before stuff from Christine Aguelera. Now if the songs in question had sampled soul as we know it then that would be different but I've always held the view that topics like mthis should be in the non soul forums....just my opinion

I agree with Sweeney I'm afraid...bet that surprised you This forum is a Rare Soul Forum not a pop that maybe sounds like soul forum, it's all in the title a top of the page. None of the tracks discussed are Soul in my personal opinion. Maybe there should be a seperate forum as already mentioned then some of us wouldn't have to open topics that discuss stuff like this. Titles like this one could have related to proper soul records released recently by proper soul singers for all any of us knew. If not a seperate forum how about a title to suggest your gonna open a topic about a pop record that maybe sounds soulful

ahhh noooo it wasn't me Win My only arguement with Karen about female DJ's is they are a minority in a male dominated area of collecting. Facts and figures from certain dealers have also backed up this arguement. One dealer said out of something like 5000 regular customers just 5 or 6 are female. Now, is me tea ready me dear, is kettle on I'm parched

Heard it at many venues before and since Droylsden, including Wilton

Know what you mean, top night. If I remember rightly they switched venues at last minute, or am I imagining things

wasn't far away by the looks of things Lenny

I listed one for Andy back in April for £100.

Yep just got the track list from amazon...

Fred Bridges, Richard Knight & Bobby Eaton wrote it as well. Fred Bridges & Richard Knight the flip.

Maybe some of the records that have been over priced for an age are now beginning to find their true level (or with a bit of luck even cheaper). Maybe many buyers who used to pay over the odds and so drove up the price are now doing their homework and refusing to pay the higher prices that have been asked the last decade for certain records. I would say many dealers had it pretty good since the return of many soulies in the mid 90's, maybe the tide is now starting to turn Still many records I am after I can't either find (lots of 40 or 50 quidders) or the price is either still too high and I refuse to pay what is being asked or the price is pretty stable. Same for big ticket stuff and indemanders, many still fetching big bucks.

I'm always quiet me

Nice...cheers Pal
