    For some reason this song jumped into my head today, certainly can't remember hearing it in the last 20 years or so

    Marv - Happy Belated Birthday. I am having The Empress of Soul singing it for you! All the best to you.

    Sorry I miss your posting on your birthday as this was the time we were going through hurricane Irma.

    Thank you Marv for this wonderful thread. It one of my all time favorites. Can't believe it's been a year.

    Yes, yes, yes RichyP! This one always makes me remember late night partying back in the mid 80s in Philly and in NYC! Her other one, "All and All" takes me back as well.

    Unfortunately, my dancing days were long over by the 80's, other than to embarass my daughter, at family get togethers and weddings.
    We had a guy in our "in crowd" in the 60's tho' I swear he invented break dancing LOL. we would say "he's off again, Let's go to the bar",as people cleared a huge space for him to "get down".
    This was his favourite

    After recently posting songs from Donnie Elbert and The Newbeats, this is going to sound ridiculous, but I have never taken to the Bee Gees, their pitch is way too high and nasal for me. Having said that, I am in awe of some of their extremely soulful songwriting.

    Al Green How can you mend a broken heart for example



    Teddy Pendergrass also did a superb vocal job on this, [[even from his wheelchair) but I feel it was over produced.. too many synthesisers!

    Another Bee Gee composition, one I believe was destined for Mr Pitiful himself, had he lived




    Barry Gibbs work with Barbra Streisand and Dionne Warwick also produced some great stuff

    Here's one that is older than me, just. First a little story, my mother was quite an accomplished pianist, in a British pub sort of way, and my father could hold a note, when he had had one or two beers [[nether of these talents came thro' to me genetically)
    I was four years old at a family gathering in the childrens room of a local pub and even at that age I recall my father accompanied on piano by my mother, singing this



    He also would sing Woody Hermans Who Dat Up Dere to me as a lullabye and I would chuckle myself to sleep. He later recounted to me, I can't remember that.

    Legendary! I once argued with my Dad that this was the definitive version by Al Green.

    I understand what you mean RichyP. They were awesome songwriters. I did like a lot of their mid-70s output between 1975-78.

    Don't forget that Tony Orlando and Dawn did a brilliant cover of this that became a big hit in 1975!

    This wasn't released as a single but it is one of the most Soulful, funkiest things I ever heard. From the motion picture soundtrack to "Car Wash"

    This has to be one of the most iconic basslines in dance music. I'd include Sly Dunbar's "Pull Up To The Bumper" as well. Both are so simple and rhythmically perfect.

    I insist the '70s are underappreciated. Before R&B morphed into the blandness of disco, it went to another level of soul music. Nothing like it has been recorded since. Love this tune:

    The Isley Brothers' run on T-Neck was filled with unprecedented hits. I remember all of their hits [[Mom and Dad had most of them on 45; remember all of the "Part 1" and "Part 2" A and B sides?) but never considered them very much until decades later. Now, all of those songs are among my favorites. Only Cameo in the '80s and '90s had a catalog like that. In my mind anyway.

    Dayton had so many great outfits. Sun is forgotten about when discussing the city's great bands. After the Ohio Players, Zapp, Heatwave, Lakeside, and Slave, you kind of run out of time and forget groups like Sun. That's a shame.
