Dont go there.

 

[michael hoy]

What did you say, speak up son I can't hear you.

 

[CnoEvil]

Dont go there.

No.....you're supposed to go HERE! :shifty:

 

[floyd droid]

Go away ,this is waaaaaaaaayyyyy past my bedtime.

... when it comes to Soul, Funk and Reggae music? Seems most mention their Pink Floyd, Led Zepp and other rock driven albums. I seem to be the only one who's a follower of the cool souls sounds and mod related artists.

Not quite, I listen to all mentioned and even used to attend the Wigan Casino... Northern Soul et al. Still find plenty of space for classical, opera, jazz, etc.

 

[plastic penguin]

Some Northern Soul is fabulous, as British Ska artists of the 70s and 80s.

Chic bassist Bernard Edwards sounds spectacular on a good system.

I've just dug out my 12" single of 'Mama Used To Say' by Junior. Then off to bed.

 

[CnoEvil]

Then off to bed.

Can we then reconvene after we've all got up for a pee? :shifty:

Like some reggae (Steel Pulse, Culture/Dennis Bovell, some Marley), some funk (Funkadelic, George Clinton, early Prince) and Northern Soul was more my thing - Wigan Casino, etc.

I love Soul, Funk and Reggae. 1967-1973 was the best period for both Soul and Funk, though obviously, some great records were made before and after those years. A lot of stuff gets included with Reggae, but both Ska and Rocksteady are very different, and I probably prefer these to Reggae.

Anybody who thinks they don't like funk, think again. Try these for starters:-

Great stuff! Influenced some newer artists like this. Can't stand looking at the little geek but it's pure power.

Say what you like about soul but you can't say they're poor singers.

meh ! (my opinion)

As worthless as ever.

 

[MakkaPakka]

Not my cup of tea but it's got to be better than Godawful jazz and Diana Krall that audiophiles seem to love.

 

[mitch65]

I used to listen to a soul show on Radio Orwell in the late 80's when I lived near Ipswich, I think the DJ was Buster Brooker (who turned out to be a bit of a rogue!) but I haven't listened to much recently, although I do catch Craig Charles' show every now and then. I really must listen to more, thanks for the prompt PP 8)

Cheers DJ, I used to live in Bury St.Edmunds back in the day and I've just had a massive flashback!

Bit ignorant to be honest but enjoy Craig Charle's show on 6 music, worth a listen for those that want a taste.
