Booker T and the MG's with the music.

Loved 'Hello Stranger' so started exploring her other work. This is a great song too.

Definitely up there in my favorite 60's soul songs. Definitely has a weekend vibe.

Damn I just learned something new today. Always thought the original recording of this song was done by Marlena Shaw in 1969. 5th Dimension recorded it one year earlier.

 

[K Douglas]

This was the actual original recording of 'California Soul'. circa 1966

Of the three I still think I like Marlena's version the best.

This one's for Maya. A slept on banger from Mario.

One of my favorite Roots joints. ogibowt should appreciate the real instrumentation on this one

A very important track in the history of Black music. Was a main catalyst for the disco era. 1975's 'The Hustle' by Van McCoy and the Soul City Symphony. One of my ATF songs, its nothing short of EPIC.

Gonna end this series with one of the coolest cats on the block. Mr. Barry White. Look up smooth in the Webster's Dictionary there should be a picture of him.

7 minutes of pure bliss

Van McCoy did a good job of extending David Ruffin's solo career too.
