It's a Soul Thang


My son and I have been on a now extended Soul music kick. Late 60's-mid 70's stuff, after some of the artists evolved from pop, before a lot of artists turned to disco, and way before what is now consider R&B. You know, Al Green, Aretha, Stevie, Gaye, Withers, Billy Paul, Mayfield, Temptations, Spinners..etc. Looking for some of the perhaps less obvious choices that folks enjoy that they'd like to suggest for fleshing out and expanding our collections! Thanks.

"There Is" by Delphonics - what a great driving song. Just try doin' the speed limit with that coming at cha from the dashboard! Don't forgot "Funky Broadway" by wicked Wilson Pickett (and anything else he did in the 60s - awww...pick it, Wilson!) and the Fantastic Johnny C "The Horse". He had another minor hit and I can't remember what it was.

Also, Clarence Carter "Looking for a Fox". "The Funky Chicken" and "Here Come the Judge" and I can't remember who did these last two (Pigmeat Markam for "Judge"?). All great driving songs.
Tomryan, you got me again!! Oh my GOD! The Horse!!!! WHAT an incredible memory that conjured up! I must have played that song a thousand times in high school!! Thanks for the memory!!!
Buy the complete Stax/Volt singles box set(Soulsville U.S.A.). I'ts the Holy Grail.
Say, Fmpnd, who did "Bugaloo Down Broadway"? I can remember my buddies and I driving 2 miles an hour down Dudley Street in Dearborn Michigan about 1968 with three of us walking outside the car doin' the bugaloo and shouting out, "Bugaloo down Dudley, the funky Dudley!". Soul music rules!!
