I guess you're right, and there's also a thin line between pop and northern soul sometimes, when even people on this forum argue whether a particular record is soul or just plain pop, especially with the blue-eyed performers. But still, would be nice to see some posts featuring artists who recorded other forms of music apart from that one (1) soul record...lol...

My copy of aforementioned single.

Non-soul artists recording music that can be classified as "soul" is the topic here. I am asking forum members to come up with as many examples as possible. To get things underway I give you a blue-eyed group that was more of a garage rock or psychedelic pop act, but had that one release... Peter’s Pipers was a quartet that to my knowledge released only three singles, but all of them in the same year – 1968 – and ”I Don’t Know What You’re Waiting For” (check YouTube link below for audio!) was produced by Dick Corby who also worked with Les McCann, Ad Libs, The Ambers, and most notably produced the Jerry Butler classic ”For Your Precious Love”. https://youtu.be/8lQrHJO3nR0

Went into a record shop in Malmoe Sweden. Spent half the day trawling through their stock. The records I was going to buy I placed on the floor and it was a whole lot. The guy working in the shop was aware of this. Later another man took his place and all of a sudden I noticed that the records I had put aside were gone. The guy had put them back as he thought someone had left them behind and since the records in the shop were not categorized according to genre or in alphabetical order and he couldn't remember where he put them they were now spersed here and there all over the shop, so half a day's work of crate digging was spoiled and I gave up. I can laugh about it now, but at the time it was very frustrating...lol...

Thanks for the response and reactions! According to Wikipedia Lukie D is still active, but no reports on what he has done after 2019 and I haven't been able to find any new releases.

Reggae and dancehall artist Lukie D’s trademark is his soulful and melismatic vocal style which has been consistent throughout his career, but he must have set a world record when it comes to the number of different labels he recorded for between the years 1988-2018: Original Sounds, VP Records, Alpha Enterprise, Down Sound Records, Brickwall Records, Penitentiary Records, Top Klass, Jet Star Records, Laxis Records, Pull Up My Selecta!, Radical Production, Pioneer Muzik, Exterminator, Uptempo Records, Chris Records, Justice, King Jam, Blue Mountain Records Ltd., Dungle Man Records, Our Choice, Shalom, Look Up, XTerminator, Firehouse Crew, Chris II, Dimension Records, Little ”C” Production, Greensleeves Records, Kingston 11, Davemack Music, Saxon Records, Champion Records, Shocking Vibes, Ghetto Vibes, Jugglin City, Stone Love, Down Sound Records, Fat Eyes Records, Jammy’s Records, Annex, VP Records, Record Factory, John John Records, Duke Records, Fat Eyes Records, Strong One, Volcano, Heavy Dee, Wizard Records, How Yu Fi Sey Dat ?, Chinegro, Bee Cat Records, Ghetto Youth Productions, Anansi Records, High Power Music, Stone Love Music, Kickin Productions, East Coast Records, Duke Records, Top Nail, Stingray Records, Cell Block 321, Mussiya, Telecom Record, Digital-B, Hi Power Music, Untouchables, Freedem, Notice Music, Black & Yellow Music, Time 1 Records, Wild Life Muzik-Ent., Pure & Clean, Mo’ Music Productions, 2 Hard Recordings, Raggedy Joe Records, Sweet Angel, 321 Strong, Ffrench, Boot Camp Records, Manatee Records, Shy Shy Records, Oxway Records, Real McKoy, Hi-Grade Music, Reggae Vibes, Pure Music Productions, Spragga Roots, Music Farm Records, Mixing Lab, Penthouse Records, New Life, B-Rich Records, Dimension Records, Mega Bass, Youth Promotion, Wiz Kidz, Crystal Ball Productions, Flabba Music, KT Records, True Love Records, Fire Ball Records, Mac Dada Productions, Jamdown Records, Cali Bud, Peer Pressure, Rashanco Music, 2 Hard 2001, True Love Records, Sample/Rage Productions, Creation Star Music, Hot-A-Tac, Free Willy Productions, Footsteps Records, Germaican Records Jamaica, Reality Sound, Black Diamonds, Arrows Records, Royal Blend, Digital One Records, S.A.M.

Here’s Lukie D ”Everlasting Love” on Stingray Records from 2003: Which ones are the SOUL MUSIC acts that have recorded for the largest number of different labels and do they come close to Lukie D?! You may also want to give examples of quality SOUL MUSIC from Jamaica or maybe that should be another thread. Please move if in the wrong place. Best, Mats
