A much needed Black Music thread.

Great track. Jermaine had some jams. I loved this one too (might have posted before)

Maybe I'm just an old fart, but is it my imagination or was music more musical a while ago?

Heard this one on Soul Town early this am. Classic

No doubt. Too much simulation in today's music.

I really dig Archie Bell and the Drells. They have a really distinctive sound that sets them apart from their peers.

They call this new wave/synth pop but I think it has some reggae/soul undertones so I'm posting it here. Anyone remember this classic?

Also heard this gem on Soul Town this morning. Big track from the late 60's

Luther Vandross' debut solo album is simply immaculate. I don't skip any songs on it. Does anyone here have it on vinyl?
This is track 05 She's a Super Lady. The beginning is

This group is fantastic. A husband and wife team. Unusual collab with rapper Snoop Dogg here, but damn it works

A nice house remix of The System

 

[K Douglas]

This is a tough remix version to find, god bless YouTube. Trackmasters with the heat

My girl Marta on the bass emulating Louis Johnson. From the greatest album of all time Off the Wall.

For Insidious Von....kinda like Leadbelly....maybe new to you....a classic covered by umpteen artists....among them, Eric Clapton..and Stevie Ray V

 

[ogibowt]

along the same vein...one of my favs by Muddy Waters....and as ive said about Muddy,s music...suggestive and earthy, but never foul or nasty or filthy

 

[ogibowt]

i bought this single at Kopps Collectibles, years after it was released.....love the vocals

Otis................

Whatever you think of Phil Spector, he and Darlene Love made amazing music together!

Mabel John died yesterday at the age of 91...her main claim to fame was that she was the first female artist to be signed by Motown....she left there and signed with Stax and recorded....among many others....this one which had modest success on the Billboard Charts.....she also was the sister to R&B singer Little Willie John..,she spent years as a backup singer before she retired....RIP

Boz Scaggs had such a unique voice, I just love it. Lowdown is one of my ATF songs but he had an extensive discog. This tune is pretty cool. Featuring Toronto native Lisa Dal Bello on background vocals
