Oh thanks so much for stopping by and watching. Really appreciate it.
Yes marvelous choices Teena is my girl amazing voice . The Average white band those guys can play killer material. Retro Musing I follow you great channel love you musical tastes.
Glad you enjoyed the tag video. Many thanks for following my channel and watching this video. Hope to see you again.
Great collection of classic Soul. Looking forward to your next edition. Bravo
Glad you enjoyed the tag. Thanks for watching.
This was an awesome presentation of your SOUL Picks
Glad you enjoyed the video. Many thanks for stopping by.
Wow! Some great albums in your collection. My favourite female soul singer is Janice Joplin. 😎✌️
She is indeed an incredible soul singer. I don't have any of her records but do stream her music. Many thanks for stopping by.
Such a fantastic video. Great to see all these soul artists get some attention. I would love to see a box set of The Isley Brothers or the Ohio Players. They both produced some great slow soul jams. You have great deep Soul taste.
Great suggestions for the box sets! Glad you enjoyed the video. Many thanks for your kind comment and watching.
Some excellent choices, that Summer of Soul doc is GREAT! glad to see someone mention it.
Many thanks for stopping by.
Really unique and fantastic selections for this tag!!! Thank you so much for doing my tag!! Amazing!!❤
Hi! It's my pleasure. It was such fun and hopefully more people will participate. Thanks for putting the whole thing together with those great tag questions. Have a great day!
Great choices and lots to explore, thanks. Glad to see Phyllis Hymen and Michael Henderson get a mention, such great artists. Cheers!
Indeed there are just so many amazing soul artists/bands out there. Very happy to know you enjoy Phyllis Hyman and Michael Henderson's music too. Thanks for stopping by and watching.
No discussion about soul music would be complete without mentioning the truly great Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, James Brown, Sam Cooke, The Soul Stirrers, Otis Redding, and Marvin Gaye. 😻😻😻For great blue eyed soul, I'd throw in The Righteous Brothers and The Rascals.😻 One of The Rascals' most overlooked and highly recommended albums is Peaceful World; it's a very nice blend of jazz, soul, and funk. 👍👍👍 Of all of the many great artists you mentioned, the one that grabbed me the most is Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Now that woman had soul and was such a talented and pioneering singer, songwriter, and guitarist. 😻 Not too long ago, they put out some previously unreleased live music from Sister Rosetta in 1960 on vinyl. It's really good and is still in print. 👍👍👍
Couldn't agree more. They are certainly the soul superstars! The Righteous Bros and The Rascals are excellent "blue eyed" soul artists too. Thanks for all the info about Tharpe. She's incredible! Some of her records have been re-issued too. As ever, many thanks for stopping by and watching.
Awesome soul tag. Great soul albums you have there with some artists I don't know about. And who doesn't like Isaac Hayes? Nice video.
Yes. Isaac is the man! Thanks for watching.
Great selection, Retro!
Thanks so much for stopping by.
…really enjoyed ! Lovely Temps Do Smokey album ! Great Jr Walker collection ! …saw EW&F in Vancouver early-mid 80s, one of The Very Best Shows I Ever Saw !
Glad you enjoyed the tag and yes, EWF concerts are just so awesome. Maurice White was quite the showman and he really gets the audience going with all those EWF hits! Many thanks for stopping by and watching.
At last somebody mentions Sun Goddess . Got EW&F and the original by Ramsey Lewis . Play it at least once a week ,have done since 1974 ! Sax is something else . The two Film soundtracks from Ike Hayes you were thinking about was probably Truck Turner and the other Tough Guys . Great show and interesting commentary . Thank you .
Fantastic to know there are fans out there of that song. And yes, that sax solo in the song is out of this world. I love the start of the song with the guitar intro. I think the music to film "Tough Guys" has alays been overshadowed by the success of "Shaft". Many thanks for stopping by and watching.
Amazing tag!! I will do mine as soon as possible. I really loved the records you brought, I'm also passionate about Soul Music.
Look forward to seeing yours! Many thanks for stopping by.
You are absolutely beautiful. Such impeccable taste in music too.
I'm very flattered. Many thanks for stopping by and watching.
Nice to hear about lesser known soul artists than the usual big-name soul picks. Lady T was indeed an amazing soul singer. I rarely see anyone mentioning LeRoy Hutson too. Great video!
I wanted to stay away from the usual big soul artists and to dive a bit deeper with lesser known singers/bands. Glad you enjoyed the video. Many thanks for watching.
I had no idea AWB was a Scottish Band! I learn something new every day 😎
Indeed they are Scottish! Thanks for stopping by and watching.
What an amazing number of old school soul music you have. I had no idea Jr Walker was behind that incredible saxophone solo in Foreigner's "Urgent" song . What a great behind -the-scenes story. So refreshing to see soul music featured in the vinyl community. Another great video as always!
Yes. It was certainly serendipity that Jr Walker was just down the street. Haha. Many thanks for stoppigg by and watching.
Incredible selection of soul artists and bands! Love the way you credited Rod Temperton and Jr Walker in your tag. My favorite Spinners songs are "I'll Be Around" and "He'll Never Love You the Way I Do". And who doesn't love Isaac Hayes? Your channel really celebrates all manner of music. It's fantastic.
Those Spinner songs are my fav too. They are just so awesome and happy to know there are plenty of Isaac Hayes fans out there. Many thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for sharing the information about the Foreigner 4 album and the saxophon solo in the song "Urgent". Even I like Foreigner a lot, I didn't know the story. Blessings from Germany
Thank you for stopping by and watching.
I grew up in NorCal too and spent countless hours at Tower Records on Columbus Ave and the stores in Sacramento too.
Oh wow. That's great to know. That Tower Records on Columbus was my go -to record shop. They stayed open so late as well. Berkeley was another perfect place for records with Tower Records, Rasputin's, Amoeba and Leopold's Record all there too. Happy days!
Great selections there! Great how you mentioned Tough Guys as that gets overshadowed by Shaft - I love Hung Up on My Baby, just superb. Oh and Jnr Walker - I think Cleo’s Mood is such a cool piece of music.
Many thanks for watching. Can't agree more about that film being overshadowed by Shaft. Great to know there are still plenty ofJr Walker fans out there.
Great stuff as always Retro! Had a chance to do this one myself recently, so much great music.
Thank you again for another great tag response!
Thanks for stopping by and watching.
Great video! And big fan of your collaboration pick - Summer of Soul was brilliant.
Glad you enjoyed the tag. Many thanks for watching.
I’ll check out Michael Henderson. I don’t think I’ve heard of him. Great Sade albums! I’m enjoying this vid! 👍🏻🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
Thanks for stopping by. I wanted to avoid picking all the obvious soul artists such as Marvin Gaye, Temptations, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding etc. It was a fun tag.
Thank you for some of these recommendations .
I look forward to exploring the Rance Allen and LeRoy Hudson albums .
Yes , that Spinners album is a great one .
Cheers !
Pleasure. Many thanks for stopping by.
Looking at the tags, you're one of the best. How ever Heatwave did a lot of recordings in Europe, but the members were from US (military) and Europe. Again
Many thanks for this information. For some reason, it's listed as a British band in some music books.Will certainly keep in mind some members were actually US (military) etc. Thanks for stopping by and watching.
Great, Great response. Never knew Heatwave was not an American group. Totally agree with you on that Spinners album. Been meaning to get that mofi pressing of that one, but haven't stumbled across it yet. Betty Wright, EWF, Teddy P.....all fantastic!!
That debut Spinners lp on the Atlantic label is crazy good. CG Cameron left the group when they were with the Motown label. The debut Atlantic record showcases Philippe Wynn for the first time. He and Bobby Smith really created magic with their lead vocals. For some reason, I mistakenly said the "It's a Shame" song but actually meant to say "I'll Be Around" for that album. Glad you liked the tag picks. Many thanks for stopping by and watching.
Lovely stuff RM. ‘There’s Gonna Be A Showdown’ by The Rance Allen Group’ has caused dance floor mayhem regularly round these parts. Heatwaves first two are massively underrated.
Had no idea about that RAG song. Brilliant. And yes, Heatwave are just awesome. Rod Temperton really made magic behind the scenes for Heatwave and so many others. Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by.
heatwave - boogy nights, we heard it every night in the disco in the netherlands ❤
Fantastic. Many thanks for watching.
I really like Square Biz by Teena Marie who was initially on Motown. Love ❤️ Sade & her smooth grooves. The Sweetest Taboo always rocked my world. AWB had a Top 10 hit with an instrumental which was rare. Good players.
That's a great TM song too. "Portuguese Love" is another favourite of mine. And Sade is just amazing isn't she? In my mind, I usually put AWB, Tower of Power and Brass Construction in the same category as they all have amazing horn sections. Many thanks for stopping by and watching.
I'm so glad you did this one. I don't do many tags but I'm going to do this one. You had some interesting picks. It's amazing the depth of this genre and your passion for music just shines through.
Thanks so much for your feedback. Appreciate it very much. Glad you will do the tag and I look forward to watching it.
I'm really enjoying watching these soul tag videos as it is a favorite of mine. Michael Henderson is an artist that I will have to check out. Betty Wright is a wonderful pick. I enjoyed hearing the "Urgent" story. I was going to use Dennis Brown but I only had him on CD. Great tag response.
Glad you enjoyed it. Many thanks for watching. I will check yours out.
I still love Sade's "Your Love is King" from Diamond Life....and sometime have a listen to "In Another Time" Soldier of Love album; but I digress....
It's great you have Isaac Hayes representing STAX, because we could spend an hour on STAX with Booker-T, Otis, Eddie Floyd, Staples, etc....before moving to MOTOWN with The Four Tops, Temptations, and Marvin Gaye.
How about a "Blue-Eyed-Soul" review....Dusty, Joe Cocker, Delaney & Bonnie, Steve Winwood, etc!
Thanks again and stay warm!
Yes so many "blue-eyed" soul artists out there. I realise Daryl Hall is also a soul singer too. And I too am a huge fan of Sade. She's wonderful. So cool and classy! Many thanks for stopping by and watching.
.....being a fan of classic rock (and 90's grunge) I enjoyed the information about Urgent by Foreigner...
Excellent. I watched an interview with Foreigner many years ago and they disclosed what transpired in the studio when they were recording "Urgent". It was fascinating hearing about it. Thanks for watching.
I saw Junior Walker & the Allstars several times at the Club Blue Note in Toronto in the 80s .
They were excellent , and at the end of his show , he would bring on his teenage son , who would do a couple of Michael Jackson songs with the band . His son did a great job on those songs . Thank you for giving him a shout out .
Oh wow. That must have been such an amazing experience. Thanks so much for sharing that and for watching.
@@retromusings You are most welcome .
Good picks!
Glad you approve. Thanks for watching.
Have to do this...thanks and keep rockN
Excellent. It was fun to do. Thanks for watching.
Love Rance Allen but not heard that album. Thinking of Rod Temperton there were at least 5 you showed written by him.. Give Me The Night, Boogie Nights and Mica Paris-Two In A Million. Such an amazing writer..”The Invisible Man”!
That's the only Rance Allen Group lp I have. Temperton was indeed "invisible" but played such a big part in creating music in the 70s and 80s. Many thanks for stopping by.
I wondered where you'd gone but I've found two of your videos today so great to see U again. Plus Ive subscribed which is probably why Ive missed your videos.
Just love the Spinners
Happy to know there are Spinners fans out there. Many thanks for stopping by and watching and for subbing.
Great response Retro. I don’t think I can do this tag justice. I love soul music, and my resolution this year is to really beef up my soul collection. You showed so many of my best loved artists. Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed the video and you liked the artists. Many thanks for stopping by and watching.
Really great selection! I have a lot of soul but I don't have the records you showed. Mine is mostly 60's and early 70's. My Betty Wright is her earliest stuff. I don't know if I have any from other countries. There's a few that are Americans that became big in the UK but I doubt that qualifies. I'm going to check out the channel that started this because I don't know it.
Glad you enjoyed the video and yes, please do check out DJ Vinyl Vertigo and the other soul channels I follow. Many thanks for stopping by and watching.
Great Response. There were a few new artists there for me - I love that.
Heatwave sound interesting, I'll have to check them out. Also, Phyllis Hyman is new to me too, another one to look into. A great anecdote about Junior Walker and Forginer! Dennis Brown is a great choice. Ohhhhh ... I've been looking for a copy of "Summer of Soul". I always pick up a cheap K-Tel record when I see it. :)
I'm editing my entry now, it should be posted soon.
Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed. Many thanks for watching.
Really informative video, seeing that I know next to nothing about soul music. I do have one soul record in my collection though, believe it or not... and a CD too :D
Thanks for stopping by. Maybe it's time for a "Metal Soul" tag? haha.
Underrated American act What Is This do an excellent cover of I'll Be Around on their Todd Rundgren Produced debut album on MCA. My favorite track on that Spinners album.
That's great to know. "I'll Be Around" is my fav track on that drecord too. I mistakenly said "It's A Shame" for some reason in the video. That song was in an earlier record under the Motown label and was sung by CG Cameron. My bad! Thanks for stopping by and watching.
Hello, RM. On the Spinners LP: is the "It's a Shame" track a remake of their original Motown hit, or a different song with the same name? I have the "Diamond Life," "Stronger than Pride," and "Promise" Sade LPs, and remember them well. I have "You Know How to Love Me" also; I saw Ms. Hyman at Fat Tuesday's in New York a long time ago. Thanks for the background on the "Urgent" track, too; I knew Jr. Walker did the solo, but not how it came to be. I discovered recently that Rod Temperton was English, but it wasn't a big surprise; I didn't know that listening to "Thriller." I was pleasantly surprised to see how many of the LPs you showed that we have in common. No wonder I subscribed to this channel 😁!
Hi. My bad- for some reason, I said "It's a Shame" but meant to say "I'll Be Around" for that record. As you rightly noted, "It's A Shame" was on an earlier record under the Motown label. The lead singer for that song was CG Cameron. He left The Spinners by the time the group signed on with the Atlantic record label. As ever, many thanks for stopping by and watching.
Hello RM 👋
I watched the soul tag during the week and this is a good one for me to have a go at as I only have to dig through two boxes of records to do it 👍😁👍 One of your answers has actually dug me out of a hole....i'll have to copy it (thankyou)
Really great records shown in your response and knowledge shared .
👍👍👍
Excellent! Look forward to seeing yours. It's all good fun isn't it?
Thanks for watching.
Damn. Yep, "Walk Away From Love" is absolutely a banger. Great choice! Also, glad you mentioned that General Johnson song. I do have that LP, but have only listened to it once. You've inspired another listen!
Loved the video, glad I saw it before I did this tag myself! Some of those are pretty, pretty tricky, but I should have mine out next week!
Keep on keepin' on, RM! 😁
Oh, and thanks for the mention! 😉
The soul genre is just so vast and there are so many amazing artists. I purposely stayed away from picking the obvious soul superstars for the tag and wanted to highlight the lesser known ones. Look forward to seeing your tag! Many thanks for stopping by.
awesome video! as you were going through each record, it felt like you were pulling out selections from my own collection! i think there were only 3 records from this entire video that i don't have in mine as well. you have such great taste in music
Glad you enjoyed and happy to know you have the same music too. Many thanks for stopping by and watching.
It made me smile when you said about assuming that those artists were American. My wife is from the US and she was just the same when I first met her. I remember her surprise when I listed many of the stars that she listened to and told her they were actually English. People like George Michael, Elton John, Sting... She didn't actually believe me at first. You've got a lot of great Soul records. Growing up in my neighborhood, Soul music was not appreciated, so I came quite late to it. James Griffiths opened my eyes and ears to it only a few years ago. I'd like to join in on this Tag but I doubt I could answer most of the questions. Lovely video!
That's so funny. Thanks for sharing that. Many thanks for stopping by to watch the tag. Much appreciated as the video was a bit long! Have a great day.
ever listen to Baby Huey? He only did one album it is a cult classic produced by Curtis Mayfield
Never heard of Baby Huey. Will certainly look him up! Many thanks for watching.
I'm a total square here. Will some of you hep cats fill me in the on the meaning of 'Tag".
Keep seeing that pop up on these record collection sites.
The "tag" is usually done at the start of the new year. Someone comes up with a bunch of questions and they answer them. They encourage others to answer the same questions and post their videos too. They all need to "tag" or mention the original person who created the "tag". It becomes a bit of a chain video theme. Bunch of people answering the same questions. I think it's been going around for the past 2-3 years. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for stopping by.
@@retromusings And thanks for the quick reply and explanation! I'm hep to the lingo and gonna jump in this Tag thang.
Awesome! Will look for yours.
I like to make a recommendation of an album and artist you might like based on what your showing in this video. If your interested then reply back to me and I will provide you the name of the artist. Thanks ad have a great day. :)
That's kind of you. I am always open to learning about new artists etc. Thank you for stopping by and watching.
Such a cool video. Your deep Soul dive for this tag highlighted some fantastic soul artists and bands that don't get the attention they deserve. That LeRoy Hutson record is just awesome. And you are on -point about Ruffin's falsetto. You really know your Soul. I hardly see anyone ever mentioning Betty Wright, Teena Marie, Phyllis Hyman and Michael Henderson. Your passion for The Spinners is just awesome.
Glad you enjoyed it! I wanted to stay away from the obvious choices for soul and dig deeper featuring lesser known soul artists by today's standards. Happy you agree about David Ruffin. Thanks so much for watching.
