PopTodd Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I just bought this album off of Amazon: I have several tracks from him on the two Rabbit Factory "Birmingham Sound" collections (including a demo version of "I've Been Lonely For So Long"), and his tunes are consistently the best things on there... either the ones that he sings, or his tunes that are sung by others. This is just too damn good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 yeah, lambchop do a great version of I've Been Lonely For So Long on the album What Another Man Spills Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Donny Hathaway may be the most influential soul singer from the 70's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cgoodwin22 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 listened to Bobby Womack's "Communication" today...FANTASTIC ALBUM! This is a great thread! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I have a box set called "Love Train: The Sound of Philadelphia" which spans the 70's (including a couple late 60's and early 80's). It heavily features the Dephonics, the O'Jays, Lou Rawls, and so many others. There is nothing like the sound of 70's soul for smoothing out the day's rough spots! (It doesn't hurt if you cut your musical teeth on AM radio, either.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I posted the below links in the Jazz section a while ago. Thirteen.org has episodes of the 60s/70s Soul program. Here is the Soul! Episode List, 1968-1973. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I posted the below links in the Jazz section a while ago. Thirteen.org has episodes of the 60s/70s Soul program. Here is the Soul! Episode List, 1968-1973.Thanks, Calvino. I've always had a soft spot for this music. Something even as potentially cheesy as "If you don't know me by now, you will never ever ever know me" just gets me every time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 As always...check out any of the Numero Group's Eccentric Soul series...much of which is on really nice vinyl and all of which have great liner notes. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Synthesizer Patel Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 just been having a think about this, and here's a few of my favourites from the 70s. to be honest, i think the 60s was slightly better, well the early 70s is great, it just gets a little too polished by the very late 70s for my taste. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9U3XHaSw-Yfrom his best album (just before he went to hi records) memphis unlimited (this is actually the sort of sound i'd love to hear wilco try - listen to that fuckin' rhythm section!) then there is this album can't find any youtube clips for any of the songs - but it's a fantastic album. his last great one, until he came back again all those years later.
