Stevie Ray Vaughan, live at the El Mocambo:

Heard this on Soul Town this morning. Amazing voice of the 60's

OK. "Deep Soul" time. Here's one that has been in some movie & TV soundtracks.

"Am I A Good Man" by Them Two (1967)

Here's Pts. 1 & 2 (full song, no break) of "Bad Girl" by Lee Moses. Also 1967. What a great year!!!

Another "Bad Girl", but this one by The Miracles with Smokey Robinson in 1959, one of their first songs ever. On Chess before they were signed by Motown.

"Been So Long" by Eddie Holman & The Larks (year unknown)

The Unifics - "The Beginning Of My End" (1969)

One of my most favourite deep soul songs.

Gloria Walker - "Please Don't Desert Me Baby" (1968)

Here's "Goodbye" by Curly Moore (1967)

"What Can You Do When You Ain't Got Nobody" - Soul Brothers Six (1967 again!)

Lukas Lollipop - "Don't Hold On To Someone (Who Don't Love You) (1967)

The Turnarounds - "Stay Away" (1966)

Something a little more mainstream, also from 1967!

James Carr - "These Ain't Raindrops"
