Blame Will Wheaton and his tune Old School Soul for this weeks collection of tunes. There are a few 70s soul tracks like Alaskan Pipeline from Gladys Knight & The Pips or Good Luck Charme by the Ohio Players (by the way a great ballad and it’s worth every second of its 9 1/2 minutes). Most tunes are from my good ol’ days the early 90s (well, good ol’ days is meant musicwise if you consider that I started collecting music in the mid 80s). Chuckii Booker’s Games has been a great hit amongst soul music lovers back then, just like Mica Paris’ Young Soul Rebels or Kipper Jones’ Shock Wave. I wonder what Kipper’s doing these days. Years ago he appeared with Better on the Hidden Hits collection but no album followed as far as I know.
Yvonne Jackson released her album I’m Trouble on the famous Ichiban label, which brought us some fine independent soul in the late 80s/early 90s like Barbara Lynn’s You Make Me So Hot or Roy Ayers’ Black Family.
Margi Coleman’s album Margi was Neo Soul before this genre has been invented. It was released a little too early, otherwise she would’ve become the Queen of Neo Soul.
And file Denise La Salle’s Long Dong Silver under music just has to be fun from time to time.
By the way if you thought Ledisi’s album Feeling Orange But Sometimes Blue was expensive, then have a look at what you have to pay for the Lady T album these days at amazon. So enjoy this show which starts with a track worth over 27 Euros.
