Fav soul song?
My soul brothers, my soul sisters, I know how hard this one is to answer due to the legions of classic soul songs out there but try.
I love this genre. If I'm in a bar with any soul music on the juke box then any woman in it is mine due to my head weaving, face licking soul moves. Hell yeah. I contemplated posting my top hundred but have whittle it down to two; 2) Marvin : Too busy thinking 'bout my baby [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TJQXmdRsNg[/youtube] 1) The Temptations : Get Ready. "Got Ready" to this one 672 times in a row when I was younger, my brothers and sisters. Best song I've ever heard. [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQdSJXPDtjs[/youtube]

Re: Fav soul song?
Good thead. Great genre of music. Really hard to choose favourties, so many to choose from
1. Tripping Out by Curtis Mayfield. Though pretty much everything he did was brilliant [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCR6ecWb064[/youtube] 2. Playing Your Game - Barry White [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykh78ivd5lI[/youtube] 3. Not sure if this counts as soul, but love this instrumental by Isaac Hayes - Ike's Mood (also completes the Mellow Mellow theme, got given that compilation when I was about 15, heavily influenced my music taste ever since) [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Hpc0qYGktw[/youtube] |

Re: Fav soul song?
A couple of Northern Soul beauties. Get the talc down.
The Contours - Just a Little Misunderstanding [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4JYF_nNjco&feature=related[/youtube] Some say the great Northern classic of them all. I wouldn't argue. Frank Wilson - Do I Love You? (Indeed I do) [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVRCMW8EJ9g&feature=related[/youtube] Maybe the great popular music song of them all for me: Smokey Robinson and The Miracles - The Tracks of My Tears [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLWGzGyXpBc[/youtube] |

Re: Fav soul song?
Who's That Lady by the Isley Brothers. Ernie Isley with perhaps the best guiter solo ever. Summertime doesn't begin until this tune heats up the airways.
The Four Tops, 'One Chain Don't Make No Prison The Spinners, 'Could It Be I'm Falling In Love?' The O'Jays, 'Back Stabbers' The Brothers Johnson, 'Strawberry Letter 23' Is it cool or is it cool? The late, great and deeply missed in Burbank Al Wilson, 'Show and Tell' The Dramatics 'What You See Is What You Get'

Re: Fav soul song?
Its an impossible ask, and some of my faves are already posted Gil Scott Heron - man that gets me every time. The Temps - possibly the greatest "boy" band ever.
This one though, was IIRC the first orhern record I ever bought, from Jeffrey's on Lothian Road - yeah, the habberdashers! (now superdrug) It's a bit of a story hoe Jeffreys got to selling Northern Soul and it was a bit surreal, soul boys q-ing up with a bunch of old ladies for the shop to open on a saturday AM! Anyway - Judy Street performing WHAT! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C1w8r-QQjU [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C1w8r-QQjU[/youtube]
