Some of my favourite Soul tracks

OK this is just an excuse for me to spend an hour listening and watching some great music

Detroit Spinners I remember the Northern Soul days in the UK



Stevie Wonder - one of the Motown greats

The chorus contains some advice:

When you believe in things

That you don't understand

Then you suffer

Superstition ain't the way

Marvin Gaye - his first record at Columbia - whether this is R&B or soul doesn't matter - I think it is one of the most sexual recordings ever.

Aretha Franklin - a Bacharach & David song written for Dionne Warwick. I like Aretha doing anything - she could literally sing the telephone book cover to cover.


James Brown - this guy can dance!!
Get up offa that thing,
and dance 'till you feel better,
Get up offa that thing,
and try to release that pressure!


Otis Redding - the best thing out of Georgia?


Alicia Keys

Solomon Burke

Solomon burke - down in the valley
