The Most Mind-Blowing, Dance-Inspiring Soul

[Ryan Katastrophe]

I need to know.  What are some of your favorite dance floor fillers of the Soul variety?

[swt]

Check out the live Norton album Get in the Groove. It's emceed by Rudy Ray Moore with appearances by Andre Williams, Bettye Lavette, Nathaniel Mayer, Barrence Whitfield, The Might Hannible, The Great Gaylord, Lonnie Youngblood. I downloaded it on eMusic

There is a two disc set called songs we taught the detroit cobras-- I have never seen a physical copy but it has pretty much every song the Cobra's covered, here

That is a great list. Basically, look for the original versions of all the songs the Detroit Cobras cover, and you're off to a good start.

Also, one of my favorite albums of modern soul would have to be the Now Time Delegation's LP (featuring the vocals of Lisa Kekaula of the BellRays). Black Joe Lewis is good, too (and he's playing in St. Louis next week).

Well, some of these may be more 'proto-soul' then what you're after, but I still think they rate pretty high on the 'danceability' scale...

Lonnie Youngblood - African Twist pt.2
Smokey Johnson - Whip It Pts 1 & 2
Don Gardner - My Baby Likes To Boogaloo
Gino Washington - Come Monkey With Me
The Ideals - Go Go Gorilla
Eddie Kirk - The Hawg
James Brown - And I Do Just What I Want
Gary U.S. Bonds - I Wanna Holler
Otis Redding & The Pinetoppers - Shout Bama Lama
Dottie Campbell - He's About A Mover
Joe Tex - Ain't I A Mess
Jimmy Stokely & The Exiles - It's Alligator Time
Billy Lamont - Sweet Thing (w/h Hendrix on guit.)
Nathaniel Mayer - I Want Love And Affection (Not The House Of Correction)
J.C. Davis - The Chicken Scratch
Bo Diddley - Jo-Ann

Cheers,

Well, that's not a legitimate release. That's an old GaragePunk.com Forum Comp (not a physical CD)! There were hundreds of those. I have a bunch, but not that one (and I don't think the download is valid anymore, either). Did anyone grab that from Mikael when it was originally offered? For some reason I missed it...

links are still good on there-I'd recommend the Megaupload option.

DO NOT CLICK THE BIG "DOWNLOAD" BUTTON ON SHARBEE!!!! many tears might follow if you don't have decent antivirus protection.

HOT SLOP !!!

Ooops, I meant SOUL CHARGE !!!


"Go go power" by Sugar Pie deSanto seems a good bet too.
As well as "Tell mama" by Etta James of course !
