Country Got Soul
I'm sure I heard Bobby Womack say he wanted to call the album Step Aside, Charley Pride, Give Another N***** a Try I think he was jok=ing. Barney Hoskins' book Say it one more time for the broken hearted is devoted to the country side of southern soul. One can hear it in Ray Charles, Solomon Burke, Arthur Alexander and Percy Sledge.

Latin Influenced Soul
A number of New York wriers and producers picked up on the Bossa Nova beat and used its influences on a number of early sixties records. Leiber and Stoller produced the Drifters so "Sweets for my Sweets" "One Way Love" and "Mexican Divorce" have their roots in latin Music. When they moved to Red Bird they released Tippi and The Clovers "Bossa Nova baby" and "My Heart Said (The Bossa Nova)" There are two soul acts to be heard on Reflections on Latin Soul which is more of a show about abou R&B influence on latin music. You can listen to it here https://www.radiomagnetic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2941

Northern Soul Megamixes
Soussan recorded his own versions of the songs with session singers and musicians. You don't need permission to cover songs that have been released on record. However you do need permission from the publishers (Jobete also owned by Gordy) if you wish to alter the lyrics. One may argue he did alter the lyrics by dropping verses to get a medley but Motown artists always included a medley on their live albums.

A film was made of Otis Redding and the Stax Volt tour of Europe in 1967. DA Pennebaker also filmed Otis and Booker T and The MG's at Monterey. They have been shown in bits and pieces on TV and there was a VCR issued in 1992. According to all music at https://tinyurl.com/o7pmw it is available on DVD as Remembering Otis. on sale here for a fiver https://tinyurl.com/qcem4"]https://tinyurl.com/qcem4

Otis Redding
It's Not just sentimental is the album that has Loving by The Pound and it came out on Cassette, CD and vinyl. Given it was an album of outakes that had not been included on other posthumous releases it had some pretty good songs on it as well as alternate takes. https://cd.ciao.co.uk/Productinformation/It...edding__5950812 It was also issued as "Remember Me" Otis Redding https://tinyurl.com/jtmc4

The Driffters
written by Burt Bacharach and Bob Hilliard and produced by Leiber and Stoller. Bacharach was at the session and one aproached the other. I always include this song in my Valentine's Day lieing, cheating and a mean mistreating soul special. On the other hand I also like their latin flavoured stuff like At The Club, (the Single Mono mix) One way love and sweets for my sweet.

Otis Redding
That's an old criticism applied by soulies who didn't like that fact that he was popular and preferred their music filtered through the Detroit Strings and Motown's Quality control. Amongst Otis's endearing faults were half learning other people's songs thereafter repeating the first verse and chorus throughout the song. As he released four live albums he appears to have spent half his time on stage testifying. Although he was a superb live artist who really connected with UK audiences. He enjoyed himself on stage, did not take himself too seriously but could break your heart with the next song. On the other hand his use of brass as a choral background and the response to his call provided some wonderful moments on record. E.g. Fa fa fa fa Sad song and Call me Mr. Pitiful. He was fond of borrowing other people's songs but usually applied a twist and came at them with a different perspective. e.g. Lowell Fullson's Tramp which Otis turned into a memorable duet with Carla Thomas, Sam Cooke's Yeah man which he turned into Sweet Soul Music for Arthur Conley. Most of Otis's recordings do not fit in the traditional northern templates but with Loving by the Pound being played out and the increasing influence of R&B Love Man has been picked up (I blame Dirty Dancing). I'm sure younger DJ's without the prejudices will pick up other stuff like his versions of Shake, Papa's got a brand new bag and 634 5789.

Northern Soul Megamixes
Technically any dance music which has a regular pattern can be mixed. Weren't you and Carms spotted at a gay northern disco in Edinburgh once? Don't tell me they did not play the B side of the Diana Ross 12" Long Hangover. You know the one with the Supremes mega mix. Of course well known northern fan Simon Soussan had a hit with a motown mix 12" Uptown Festival by Shalamar. If Kev Roberts could mix it might be described like this "A masterful non stop selection from DJ Kev Roberts (the original Wigan Casino DJ) that contains all the Northern Soul classics. Artists include Frank Wilson, The Topics, The Dynamics, The Metros, Eddie Foster, The Group feat. Cecil Washington, Rufus Wood, Bobby Reed, The Epsilons, The DC Blossoms, & many more. 50 incredible floorpackin' stompers & shufflers for your dancing pleasure - non stop! Bestway. 2003." and as discussed previously Andy Smith's Northern Soul mix CD had good sales. What would you rather hear? Some moustachioed codger muttering between records, trying to disguise cue burn or some smoothly mixed up lifting blend of non stop northern soul Heaven?

Tom Jones - Tv Show

Humperdinck / Foundations Mary Hopkin / Paul Anka / George Carlin / Arthur Brown / Georgia Brown Dave Clark Five / Mama Cass Elliot / George Carlin / Massiel Barbara Eden / Jerry Lee Lewis / Chet Atkins / Rich Little / Salena Jones Judy Carne / Jo Anne Worley / Anita Harris Donovan / Bobby Goldsboro / Lainie Kazan / Jo Anne Worley / Godfrey Cambridge The Who / Pat Paulsen / Fran Jeffries / Mireille Mathieu Sonny & Cher / Herman's Hermits / Henry Gibson / Esther Ofarim / Cleo Laine Stevie Wonder / The Hollies / Shani Wallace / Pat Paulsen George Burns / Dave Clark Five / John Davidson / Sally Ann Howes Sammy Davis Jr. / Jo Anne Worley I'm counting three soul artists including Joey Hetherington. Godfrey Cambridge is more of a soul act than Nancy Wilson, Salena Jones and Sammy Davis put together. I acknowledge that Tom had more input to his shows than say Sooty but looking at the above, experienced variety show producers put the bills together for family entertainment. Tom may have been more interested in meeting some good shags. Somebody was obviously seeing Mirrielle Mathieu given the number of her appearances.
