Soul

Probably my favorite type of music. I love listening to soul albums from the late 60's/early 70's.

My favorites are Marlena Shaw, Syreeta, Gwen McCrae..

So many great albums..



Gwen McCrae - Something So Right

Marlena Shaw - Out Of Different Bags, Who Is This Bitch, Anyway

Too many to list.

I enjoy finding new artists I haven't heard yet and finding their albums. Great stuff.

I posted this on another thread but since you like her ...

Gwen McCrae - All This Love That I'm Giving

Few albums I haven't listened to yet that are waiting..

Do you have that album? I have Rockin' Chair, Let's Straighten It Out, and Something So Right, but haven't listened to Melody Of Life yet. I've read it's more disco/dance than her other albums.

No, I just have the original 12" extended mix.
I'll check it out though and report back to you.

I'm listening to Irma Thomas - Wish Someone Would Care now. Love it.

Here's a nice one

Roy Ayers - Everybody Loves The Sunshine

I played poker with this lady once. A real lady and a great poker player.

My second favorite track from Something So Right. My favorite being the title track..

And this is from the Irma Thomas album I posted.



Time Is On My Side. Fantastic.

Here's another girl I love: Marie Queenie Lyons. She only put out one album called Soul Fever. Then she disappeared.



The entire album is grand. My favorite tracks are Daddy's House and Your Thing Ain't No Good Without My Thing.

Here's another cool song called Fever

And it doesn't hurt that these ladies are really good looking.

Phil Spector's "Wall Of Sound" really puts that album over the top.

Going to check out this album tonight..

It's alright. Not the best one I've listened to. But there are some good songs. Some pretty sad ones too.

Great thread E.
I had forgotten how much "soul" shaped my musical aesthetic. It's wonderful to make that contact again.
