Your favourite soul singers.

I posted this on NSC years ago and it got quite a good reaction. This track is only about 5 years old and is by a French bloke, Mr Day who has big mod/northern soul leanings and a very retro soul sound.

Does Gil count as Soul? Magnificent.

Tammi Terrell would have been remembered as one of the absolute greats if she hadn't died at 25. That voice...

I wondered that. I was thinking of New York is killing Me but as much as I love it, it's not really soul. Your choice is though.

And the dancing! Love it,

How about a bit of English soul..... our man from Sheffield

 

[BN9 BHA]

Donny Hathaway, Sam Cooke, Nat King Cole, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Michael McDonald, Paul Carrack, Levi Stubbs, Marvin Gaye, James Ingram,
Dusty Springfield, Gladys "Empress" Knight, Aretha "Queen" Franklin,

I heard Michael McDonald on the radio this morning, excellent voice.
Unless I missed it you are the first to mention him and Donny Hathaway on this thread, Back Together Again by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway is good tune.

I'm a Stax/Atlantic person myself when it comes to Soul. Otis redding, Aretha Franklin and Al Green in particular.

But can't believe no-one has mentioned Wilson Pickett.

I saw Michael McDonald in concert at Hammersmith about 5 years ago, still held a tune, as did Gladys when i saw her.....oh and Stevie.

...And another one from Sheffield



Great thread chaps - I feel a Spotify playlist coming on from the tracks suggested, particularly the obscure ones.

...and whilst I am at it (and putting off starting work a little longer) how about this one - James Carr had the hit, this chap co wrote it along with other classics. Can white men sing the blues?
