jackson 301 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 It's gotta be: 'Sweet Soul Music' by Arthur Conley. For the benefit of mudgie: :smile: hi mudgie, I was waiting in the queue at the bank a few weeks ago when the above began playing; well of course - not to let myself down - I began dancing on the spot. Everybody must have thought I was bonkers - I am but only slightly - but I ask you playing this in a bank queue, what do they expect? Who Cares? Luv this record . .

mudgie49 401 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hi Jackson,no more 'bonkers' than the rest of us,remember we are the 'music generation'.The amount of music around us was incredible,and we had easier access than any generation before Quote Link to post Share on other sites

piggy and babs 544 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I OFTEN DANCE AND SING ALONG TO BACK GROUND MUSIC IN SHOPS EVEN THOUGH I CARNT SING AND CAN NOT DANCE VERY WELL THESE DAYS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Good for you Babs. I wonder if music is played deliberately in some shops to make us happy; hence we're not going to be so bothered about how much we spend? The worst - or should I say best? - place for this is Wilko's when they play 60's music. Things have certainly come on since that time when we danced to this music down the Locarno: now we can dance to the same music and go shopping at the same time!

.... 23 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 A shout for the 'pound shop' (I'm not sure which brand it is) in the Victoria Centre near Tesco. The music in there is invariably good - especially if you like soul! Probably worth a pound! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mudgie49 401 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Martha and the Vandellas 'Nowhere to run',one of the early 'Motown' releases, a terrific song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 'Since I Lost My Baby', sung by 'The Temptations', with the incredible singer David Ruffin in the lead. Heavenly song, written by Smokey Robinson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mudgie49 401 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Has the documentary 'Standing in the shadows of Motown', been aired on TV in the UK? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I have it on DVD somewhere. The story of the Funk Brothers, the Motown backing group. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I bought a CD from Tesco yesterday, titled: 'Young, Gifted & Black' 20 Classic Reggae Hits, it cost all of £2 and I can well recommend it. The sound is Superb, the choice of music is too. Included is: Liquidator / Harry J & The Allstars (fantastic sound on this) Double Barrel / Dave and Ansel Collins Wonderful World, Beautiful People / Jimmy Cliff Sideshow / Barry Biggs Hurt So Good / Susan Cadogan (so lovely to hear this again) Lots of other good ones too. Not being greedy but I may go and buy another one of the same tomorrow - in case I wear this one playing it - with it being so good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Sorry, me thinks I should have put the above #347 (Reggae) in 'What are you listening to now??' Apologies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mudgie49 401 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 'The Temptations' performing live on stage were so 'tight',in sound and movement. Like many of the members on this site, we had the good fortune to see the 'Motown' artists live on stage. Having one favorite song or artist from the 'Motown era' is impossible for me. You remember one!,as soon as you post it, another one comes to mind. My own favorites were the 'Four Tops',that unmistakable voice of the late, Levi Stubbs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
