And before anyone picks the bones out of these quick picks......
These are 'pure' soulful tracks to me, whether they be black, white, gay, american, english, irish Lol
p.s. like your Delfonics pick... Have you seen the film 'Jackie Brown' great music & acting!!!
Some bizarre picks there fella? Queen? Stiff Little Fingers? I'd like to hear those explained :-)
Life experiances my friend, was playin football in Liverpool bout 20 years ago, ended up that nite in a like club/bar, 'Plummers' i think, all beatles & pop songs, anyway we were Bang on it Hard!! having a craic with some locals birds, and a stag do even, Queen came on and the place was goin mad! so the DJ played it later on..and was even better!!!
About 3 hours later, we were, in a proper ''Soul club'' further on, all Luther, Maze, Fatback etc, The local stag do came in, and some of the birds were floating around, one of my mates went and persuaded the DJ to Reluctantly put 'Dont Stop me Know On', He would'nt at first, but when he did the, all the people from Plummers, then, whole place kicked off wild!! Champagne was being sprayed it was Mad!!! Again, he played it about an hour later........ Deja Vu...Madness, hence it has become a bit of an anthem with all us 40' somethings that were there and apparently a 'cult' song in 'the Wavertree British Legion' LOL
The Stiff Lil' Fingers track, is about as close to 'soul' as they got LOL, One of mi fav bands, was in Acklam Hall, Labroke Grove, about 15/16 years old, little punk hall, rough as rough[trade] can be, they played it at the end of a set, and all these Punks, Skinheads, and mad Paddys started 'waltzing' round the whole gaff together, one of the funniest thing i'd ever seen!!!!!!!!!
Why whenever I hear certain tunes cant help but get mi feet goin & heart racing, you no what i mean??
Prob a lil' story on a few more of the tracks but i'll save them
gl
Different Generations, I Guess lol , Love Macy G. & Black Eyed Peas, Do they count?

Stevie Wonder : Signed , sealed, delivered
Aretha Franklin : Piece of my heart
Otis Redding : Try a little tenderness
Al Green : Tired of being alone
James Brown : This a man's world
Gladys Knight and the Pips : Midnight train to Georgia
Christ, I could go on and on. Who's going to whittle them down for the Sky Poker compilation?
On a modern front I have to give a shout out for Plan B's new album which I thought was an excellent soul album.
2nd CD on an album called Late night Moods. Love my soul and classic Disco but can not see for the life of me how Queen could be included in this thread.
looks great CD, leaning towards the Jazzy/blue's spectrum
Bet you Gotta love some Crusaders & even old, old school Louis Armstrong, aincha Wartic?
Will look up the Lou Rawls version of Ipanema, not heard that, love the 'standard' Astud Gilberto, think her Dad or Uncle actually wrote that meybe?
Love Candi Staton, think may be same song as a Gwen Guthrie that i know
O Yeah, The Queen Thing.....I Know..... But You Just HAD to be there.... You'd understand, LOL
Very Nearly got to that Jocelyn concert myself lol!! great intimate venue the Jazz Cafe.
Brook Benton, must admit outside my limited knwledge, will look up tho, when got time!
Got loads of Miles Davis Too! but missus & kids just dont get him, so dont get played much LOL
The Italians are surprisingly well into ther're Jazz, been in a couple of great places, in Bologna & Sorrento!!!
Any how, Hows the poker goin ? LOL
Madrid excellent for Jazz bars
Chuck Wood - Seven days Too Long
Patrice Holloway - Stolen Hours
Bobby Paris - I Walked Away
The Invitations - What's wrong with me baby
Brilliant genre of music, but still not as good as THE JAM!!
The distant echo, of far away voices, boardin faraway trains!
