Great that you mentioned Charles Bradley. I caught him live in a 400 seat room and he held the audience in the palm of his hand - great charisma. A shame you didn't mention his label mate Sharon Jones - one of the finest soul acts of the last 20 years - also recently deceased.
I was lucky enough to see Charles Bradley perform live in 2014 at the Festival Called Panama here in Tasmania. First time I’d ever seen one the true sound singers perform. Man could he sing & strut his stuff. I managed to get a heaps of photos, his album and memories that will last forever. If you search on YT for the festival there’s a short clip with him right at the end. He was gone way to soon😓😓
It always pays to watch old videos of yours. I didn't know this one, thanks for this video. So I can check if I'm still missing something in my soul section
Wonderful list mazzy. Love the Ike and tina, bill withers, Roberta flack, & sly stone records you showcased. All seminal works for me. Shine on you legend.
A massive thanks for this generous presentation. I knew most of them, but I rediscovered the Chambers Brothers and for the first time acknowledged their greatness. But most of all, you made me discover Baby Huey which knocked me off my feet. So, thanks.
Thanks Mazzy, for showing this great selection! And I was so delighted you showed the "Little Girl Blue" album of Nina Simone (also called "Jazz as played in.....") I think you are completely right with this choice, because it showcases her amazing voice, her amazing virtuosic and beautiful soothing polyphonic classical trained piano playing, and her fantastic arrangements of famous melodies. Besides that, almost nobody who casually listens to Nina Simone realizes that this is her debut (!) album, on Bethlehem records. That fact alone makes this collection of songs even way more impressive. By the way, if you maybe are interested, I play two of the key tracks of this album live on my channel: "You'll never wall alone" (once on my piano, about 9 years ago, and another take on my grand piano just about six months ago), and "Good Bait", also that one I play twice (once on my grand piano at home, and one live recording long ago during a concert I gave in a medieval little church in the south of France). Love also watching your Beatles related videos! And yes, Aretha's version of "Eleanor Rigby" is fantastic! (As is Nina Simone's take on "Isn't It a Pity" :-)) Thanks for your video, I will get the Sam Cooke and the Al Green albums you mentioned! Love, love their voices! greetings from The Netherlands, Simon
Hello Mazzy I am a great fan of your videos and discovered lots of good music through you. I have got a copy of The Temptations, Psychedelic Shack on vinyl and it sounds great
Cheers for the mention, Mazzy! Great records there - every one a classic. You’ve inspired my listening for the day. I haven’t played some of those in years. Sometimes we take the classics for granted and don’t give them the attention they deserve. I’ll probably start things off with “Stand” 👍 As for recommendations, I’ve been listening to The Undisputed Truth’s “Face To Face With The Truth” a lot recently. A Norman Whitfield produced classic. Cheers. John
Good video Mazzy. It’s a shame there is not more audiophile soul releases although speakers corner have the brilliant Call Me by Al Green , Donny Hathaway Everything is Everything , The Isley’s Fight The Power and the Aretha at Fillmore you mentioned. You also touched on getting more Donny, start with Extension Of A Man which showcases his amazing range. Soul, gospel, jazz, R&B, deep Soul and even a touch of classical. Amazing album . My collection is split 70/30 soul v jazz around 5000. Really enjoying your videos and the brilliant reissues on MoFi, acoustic sounds, tone poet, Craft etc. Hopefully more Soul reissues of this calibre in the future . Cheers from Scotland.
Great video Mazzy. A side note here... on the back cover of the James Brown album you showed, there was a picture of Danny Ray putting the cape unto James. He was James' personal assistant for years and became the emcee for many of the most iconic shows that James did. Mr. Ray passed away recently and I thought I'd just give him a shout out here.
Growing up I didn’t like soul but I did love the funk. 70s soul of the Delfinics, Stylistics, Manahattans etc.. eventually became albums I sought. Still, I love The Funk. Steve
Great show, you can feel the love you have got for the music. Personally, I'd like to have seen Jackie Wilson and Roy Ayers on there. And Edwin Starr.I live in the UK and seen him many times. Such a lovely,warm human being
Nobody ever shows Little Willie John except me. Mary Wells is another one. That music bit the dust with the Hippy movement. Toronto was a huge Soul and R&B town in the early & mid 60s Mazzy. My R&B music came from a radio station from Buffalo. WUFO in Buffalo. I saw quite a few of the Motown girl groups. The Shirelles were my favs. That kind of music we used to dance to at a gig instead of just watching the Band. I miss those days Mazzy. They were great. James Brown I met and jumped on the Stage and showed him my dance moves. LOL.. Two big guys tossed me off the Stage. James Brown and Jackie Wilson were the two biggest acts us kids loved here in Toronto back in the day. Great memories...... I finished my eye surgeries so I can do that video with you about the early music scene here and in Frisco. Just let me know how to go about it if your still interested Maz.
Today was the first timeI watched your video. There’s only two artist I don’t have. Charles Bradley and the other is Digable Planets never heard of it.I really enjoyed your video. You’re kinda smooth yourself 🫢👍
Great video. I just picked up that Night Beat album and couldn't agree with you more. I love Etta James and her version of Randy Newman's "God's Song" is sublime. Solid Smoke was such a great reissue label and rereleased one of my favorite records by The Sheppards who bridged the gap between Doo-wop and soul. Soul does not get a lot of showings on the VC. James Carr is my favorite soul singer but I loved all the artists you showed and have many of those albums as well. Take care. --Randy
I actually have that Sheppards album on Solid Smoke too. I knew the two guys who started the label so I would grab almost everything they put out. Thank you for watching!!
Hi Norman! That Temptations Psychedlic Soul cd is a fantastic compilation and it definitely needs a vinyl issue, as does, switching genres, "Come On, Come On" by Mary Chapin Carpenter, which is a superb album and never got a vinyl release at the time!
Hey Mazzy, Etta James and Nina Simone are at the top of my list for female singers with Patti Smith coming in a strong third. Have a great day , Cheers Sean
Some really good bunch records, love that ”Changes” album, showed it earlier today to Travis in a video. I Will check those channel, Thanks for this review! Cheers / Janne
Thanks for the education Mazzy. You've given me some food for thought and some things to investigate. I prefer "Innervisions" & "Talking Book" over "Songs In The Key Of Life". I think there's a couple of tracks on it that could've been shortened but seem to go on forever ("As" & "Another Star"). Otherwise it's brilliant. Love your work Mazzy. Cheers 😎
Good morning Mazzy. Great video, thanks. Did you ever hear 'Ahh the name is Bootsy baby' by Bootsy Collins? Great bass heavy album with perverse lyrics. Highly recommended if you haven't heard it.
Bonjour, I’m with you on the temptation / Norman Whitfield psychedelic era. Runaway child running wild is just incredible! we’re still waiting for a proper reappraisal of those wonderful albums ( and AAA pressing) Take care
Among my favorite albums in this genre are 1) Star Time (4 disc set) by James Brown, 2) Green Onions, the debut LP by Booker T and the MGs, and 3) Dirty Mind by Prince.
Very good list, like you said your list. I'm a of soul RnB and doo wop collector, 50s thru 80s. I have at least 100 favorites. You do list my favorite singer Sam Cooke. Surprise no Delfonites, Stylistics, Barry, Roy Hamilton, etc etc.
Mazzy nice choices Gil Scott is a winners and that beautiful collaboration of Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack is killer too . Sam Cooke is a beauty aka “ The Man Who Invented Soul” great pulls Mazzy .
Thanks for this. That Aretha live album is sizzlin’. Needs a reissuing, cos I can’t get a vinyl copy in decent nick under £40… great recommendation though. Wow!
hey mazzy....great choices as always....you already picked a few i would have chosen...otis redding 'otis blue', ike and tina turner 'working together', curtis mayfield 'superfly', and sly and the family stone 'stand'...for aretha, i would have gone with 'soul '69'...for al green, i would have chosen 'i'm still in love with you'...bill withers would have been 'just as i am'...and for stevie wonder, i would have picked ;innervisions'...sam cooke would have gone live 'at the copa' and for mavis staples it would be 'have a little faith'....i was also thinking on the funkier side the self-titled album by tower of power....and definitely gladys knight and the pips 'imagination'....and i would have to throw in one of the finest soulful jazz blues albums ever, 'coming forth by day' by cassandra wilson...with all that, it's a wonderful world indeed....peace my friend...rocky
Nice selection of classic and fairly recent soul I was rolling right with you until you got to that atrocity digable planets I'm a DJ from New York started DJing back in 79 all I can say is digable planets suck
Re: Britain. There has been a devotion to Soul, both mainsteam and less so in the north of England for more than 40 years. At Wigan Casino in Lancashire hundreds, and other venues many hundreds of young devotees have danced through the night every week at 'Northern Soul' venues.....
I would add Earth, Wind & Fire's "That's the Way of the World" and their two subsequent albums. Also, the O'Jays "Back Stabbers" and "Ship Ahoy." Among today's artists, I dig Anthony Hamilton's records, Ben Harper and the Black Pumas.
It's great to see The Exciting Wilson Pickett in there . Something You Got is the hidden gem on that one. I have a few more obscure suggestions to check out ( plus Earth , Wind & Fire ) The Essential Ann Peebles ( not sure why she wasn't more well known, she's great ) Lee Moses : Time & Place ( a great voice , and music ) Bobby Womack Greatest Hits 100 Proof : Aged in Soul and Somebody's Been Sleeping in My Bed ( with Joe Stubbs ( Levi's older brother ) Great music Lamp Records : It Glowed Like the Sun ( featuring the Vanguards , Moonlighters & others ) fabulous Earth , Wind & Fire : All 'N' All , I Am , and Greatest Hits You mentioned Etta James : Tell Mama : The Complete Muscle Shoals Sessions And Beyonce , who did a great job playing Etta in Cadillac Records . Alicia Keys : VHS Storytellers Thanks !!!!
@@mazzysmusic We were buddies in college at North Texas State (now UNT) in Denton, TX. Astounding to think about where he is now because back then he wasn't even a musician.
@@mazzysmusic Yes. I never gave the Chi-Lites a second look past their 2 big hits, but took a chance on one of their lps about five years ago and those string of lps became among my favourites now
Great video. Unfortunately I only have two Tamla Motown CD album compilations, and one Sam & Dave and one James Brown greatest hits CD album. I always thought Otis Reddng was the King Of Soul. What is about Soul music and politics anyway ?
My favorite Soul Record, Time Has Come Today by The Chambers Brothers, the title song, which I love, is the only rock song, the rest of the album is pure soul!
You need to purchase every Donny Hathaway record. His daughter is amazing, as well!! Lalah Hathaway. She also worked kn ed with Joe Sample, Robert Glasper & Snarky Puppy.
Hi Mazzy … I watched a lot of your videos during the last weeks … really enjoyable stuff and very good records. But when it comes to Soul I would like to recommend one special record to you: The New Folk Sound Of Terry Callier - recorded in 1966. For me it is one of the greatest Soul records I ever listened to … only Terrys voice, his acoustic guitar and an upright bass. His songs were covered by psychedelic band H.P. Lovecraft and by Norway proggers Motorpsycho. If you do not know this record, please give it a try … you will not regret this. Cheers, Juergen
good selection, sadly Dusty in Memphis is missing.Dusty Springfield's late 60's and early 70's albums are all worth mentioning,all contain great music.
As I write earlier in another response I wanted this video to include all black artist fir black history month. A blue eyes soul video will happen sometimes in the future. Dusty will be included ✌🏻
Maggot Brain has wonderful guitar work. A favorite is Brook Benton's version of Tony Joe White's Rainy Night in Georgia. I believe Gladys Knight also covered it.
I really wanted to showcase black soul artists this time since it is black history month and these are mostly records they got me into the genre.. I do have blue eyes soul video planned for the future

Soul II Soul . Keep on Movin' . Virgin ( the album )
Great selection Mazzy! I love many of those records and there are a few I haven’t yet heard. Homework 😎
Hi Mazzy. Great stuff as usual. Straight to my heart and soul. Keep going and take care
Love your videos thanks
From San Antonio James Huerta
Great list! Only one missing is the classic Curtis Mayfield, 'Super Fly.'
It always pays to watch old videos of yours. I didn't know this one, thanks for this video. So I can check if I'm still missing something in my soul section
fantastic list ...thanks for posting
Wonderful list mazzy. Love the Ike and tina, bill withers, Roberta flack, & sly stone records you showcased. All seminal works for me. Shine on you legend.

Hello Mazzy
I am a great fan of your videos and discovered lots of good music through you.
I have got a copy of The Temptations, Psychedelic Shack on vinyl and it sounds great
tell mama by etta james is one of the best deep-soul-albums ever.... recorded at muscle shoals...chicken skin music...and a must-have album!
Yes Tell Mama is a great song too and that track is on the comp I showed.
Great Picks Mazzy! Thumbs up! Love ya! Trish

Some great recommendations as usual Mazy. The Chambers Brothers did a great album with Barbara Dane which is just beautiful.
I think out of all the soul singer women, Etta is on my top list by far
Betty Davis, Rick James etc. Great show. Wasn't aware of a couple of those ty
been listening to Bobby Caldwell pleased to be found your video
Today was the first timeI watched your video. There’s only two artist I don’t have.
Charles Bradley and the other is Digable Planets never heard of it.I really enjoyed your video. You’re kinda smooth yourself 🫢👍
Wonderful selection - Curtis, Marvin, 4 Tops and Gil Scott Heron - what's not to like. I would have added Sam and Dave to the list, soul men indeed

Great choice. 100 points from Munich
Same Cookes Night Beat has some iconic songs and his voice, I love how he sings 🙂
I scored a mint copy of that Bill Withers record, literally just a few days after his passing. Such a lovely album. ✌️
Thanks for the education Mazzy. You've given me some food for thought and some things to investigate. I prefer "Innervisions" & "Talking Book" over "Songs In The Key Of Life". I think there's a couple of tracks on it that could've been shortened but seem to go on forever ("As" & "Another Star"). Otherwise it's brilliant.

Innervisions perfectly captured a moment in time peerless

I was surprised by the Digable Planets pick. That album is great, as is their next album, Blowout Comb.
Thanks for this. That Aretha live album is sizzlin’. Needs a reissuing, cos I can’t get a vinyl copy in decent nick under £40… great recommendation though. Wow!

Good choices. I would have also added Anita Baker (Rapture) and and maybe one from Jr. Walker.
Nice selection of classic and fairly recent soul I was rolling right with you until you got to that atrocity digable planets I'm a DJ from New York started DJing back in 79 all I can say is digable planets suck
Re: Britain. There has been a devotion to Soul, both mainsteam and less so in the north of England for more than 40 years. At Wigan Casino in Lancashire hundreds, and other venues many hundreds of young devotees have danced through the night every week at 'Northern Soul' venues.....

I would also add
Minnie Riperton - Perfect Angel
Isley Brothers- 3 + 3. possibly my favourite.
I would add Earth, Wind & Fire's "That's the Way of the World" and their two subsequent albums. Also, the O'Jays "Back Stabbers" and "Ship Ahoy." Among today's artists, I dig Anthony Hamilton's records, Ben Harper and the Black Pumas.
Great list, contains a number of my favs! Curious would Gil Scott-Heron be more accurately characterized as a jazz artist? You are an aficionado!
He crosses over between soul jazz funk early hip hop beat poetry. Hybrid. ✌🏼
It's great to see The Exciting Wilson Pickett in there . Something You Got is the hidden gem on that one. I have a few more obscure suggestions to check out ( plus Earth , Wind & Fire )
The Essential Ann Peebles ( not sure why she wasn't more well known, she's great )
Lee Moses : Time & Place ( a great voice , and music )
Bobby Womack Greatest Hits
100 Proof : Aged in Soul and Somebody's Been Sleeping in My Bed ( with Joe Stubbs ( Levi's older brother ) Great music
Lamp Records : It Glowed Like the Sun ( featuring the Vanguards , Moonlighters & others ) fabulous
Earth , Wind & Fire : All 'N' All , I Am , and Greatest Hits
You mentioned Etta James : Tell Mama : The Complete Muscle Shoals Sessions
And Beyonce , who did a great job playing Etta in Cadillac Records .
Alicia Keys : VHS Storytellers
Thanks !!!!
Ann Sexton - Loving You Loving Me. She is Little known but her version of Have A Little Mercy is one of souls greatest moments.
Great great list, Maz. I'm a new subscriber and I enjoy your videos. Thanks to Mike Flanigin for telling me that you're here on TH-cam.
Thanks for watching and thank Mike. I’m new to his music too ✌🏽
@@mazzysmusic We were buddies in college at North Texas State (now UNT) in Denton, TX. Astounding to think about where he is now because back then he wasn't even a musician.
Graham Central Station, Now Are You Going To Dance and the Tower of Power string from 70-78 are also great
Let’s add William Bell and Joe Tex and the Ohio Players to keep it funky
Sam and Dave....'Soul Sister Brown Sugar' gets me going lol
Interesting. Great choices. Does Funk bleed over into soul? Sly And The Family Stone?
The first 4-5 records by the Chi-Lites are my favourite string of soul lps by anyone outside of Stevie Wonder 1970-75.
And so many great singers line the Spinners and Three Degrees too. Love Tower of Power. Just felt they didn’t fit in this group if records ✌🏽
@@mazzysmusic Yes. I never gave the Chi-Lites a second look past their 2 big hits, but took a chance on one of their lps about five years ago and those string of lps became among my favourites now
Have any Bacharach records you would recommend?
Great video. Unfortunately I only have two Tamla Motown CD album compilations, and one Sam & Dave and one James Brown greatest hits CD album. I always thought Otis Reddng was the King Of Soul. What is about Soul music and politics anyway ?
RIP to Mary Wilson
Any more Beatles related videos Mazzy???
Can’t argue with any of your picks...I would add Howard Tate-Get It While You Can. Great lost 60’s soul.
My favorite Soul Record, Time Has Come Today by The Chambers Brothers, the title song, which I love, is the only rock song, the rest of the album is pure soul!
You need to purchase every Donny Hathaway record. His daughter is amazing, as well!! Lalah Hathaway. She also worked kn ed with Joe Sample, Robert Glasper & Snarky Puppy.
Love ray charles Mary Ann.
Hi Mazzy … I watched a lot of your videos during the last weeks … really enjoyable stuff and very good records. But when it comes to Soul I would like to recommend one special record to you: The New Folk Sound Of Terry Callier - recorded in 1966. For me it is one of the greatest Soul records I ever listened to … only Terrys voice, his acoustic guitar and an upright bass. His songs were covered by psychedelic band H.P. Lovecraft and by Norway proggers Motorpsycho. If you do not know this record, please give it a try … you will not regret this. Cheers, Juergen
I do have that Terry Callier record. It’s quite good ✌🏽
Sure you have ... 😉✊😎
Clean your ears out Mazzy. "Last train to Clarksville" by the Four Tops is the definitive version with Andantes on backgrounds.
Great records. No Ann Peebles? No Solomon Burke?
Great stuff would add Eddie floyd and Michael kiwanuka
Millie Jackson's Caught Up is the greatest soul album ever made, followed by Marvin's masterpiece Let's Get It On!
Carmel . Everybody's got a little Soul . London Records
good selection, sadly Dusty in Memphis is missing.Dusty Springfield's late 60's and early 70's albums are all worth mentioning,all contain great music.
As I write earlier in another response I wanted this video to include all black artist fir black history month. A blue eyes soul video will happen sometimes in the future. Dusty will be included ✌🏻
I only have a few Soul & DooWop albums. All on Chess 😊
Maggot Brain has wonderful guitar work. A favorite is Brook Benton's version of Tony Joe White's Rainy Night in Georgia. I believe Gladys Knight also covered it.
Great choices. I would have included Amy Winehouse Back to Black
I really wanted to showcase black soul artists this time since it is black history month and these are mostly records they got me into the genre.. I do have blue eyes soul video planned for the future
