Dusty Chalk Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I love the 7 minute version of Ain't No Sunshine by The Temptations from Solid Rock, this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raezCQT0fII I would also recommend listening to the entire Dap Tones record label (yes, really, though you should probably start out with the various artists compilation [surely compilations by now?]), as that would definitely be up your alley.

Tari Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Sam Cooke - Mean Old World Baby Huey - A Change is Gonna Come Otis Redding - I've Been Loving You Too Long Stevie Wonder - You and I Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine James Carr - Pouring Water on a Drowning Man Al Green - How Can You Mend a Broken Heart Etta James - I'd Rather Go Blind Aretha Franklin - Baby Baby Baby Curtis Mayfield- Move on Up Marvin Gaye- If I Should Die Tonight Bobby Hebb - Sunny Obviously Soul, Blues, R&B, and some Funk all overlap quite a bit.

jvlgato Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 A Change is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke, George Benson did a nice cover in the late 1970’s Unchained Melody – Righteous Brothers You Are Everything and Everything is You – The Stylistics Have You Seen Her – Chi-Lites One of a Kind Lover Affair – The Spinners You Can’t Change That – Ray Parker Jr (Not quite a classic like the others, I just like it) Nice topic, it was a nice trip down memory lane trying to come up w/ these.

Synchro Belt Drive Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) I prefer to lurk and I am not very old (1988!) but here it goes: 1. Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up (Always go for the long version!) 2. Lyn Collins - Think (About It) 3. Yvonne Fair - Say Yeah Yeah 4. James Brown & The JB's - It's A New Day (Being partial to JB this was a though choice.) 5. Joe Tex - You're Right Ray Charles 6. ...(Should be a Ray Charles track of choice...) Oh well Edited August 29, 2012 by Synchro Belt Drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Depends on how popular/not you want to go, but the recent Boddie Recording Box reissue is filled with fun. Some digital tracks were included in B&W club a while back. http://www.numerogroup.com/catalog_detail.php?uid=01313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
