    Well it would just mean that you're old. LOL! Music for me has been so closely tied to events in my life that it helps me remember many great moments.

    I must say I was more into the soul shouters so it took me a minute to appreciate how much soul Sam Cooke express without having to out run a song. Here is my favorite by him.

    EWF - Devotion. Love the live version. The harmonies on this song is awesome. This is more recent clip but the version from the 70's is the one.

    Yes more awesome picks! Marv I was thinking about "This Old Heart Of Mine" to add. Jimmy Ruffin's "Brokenhearted" is just an immortal classic to me.

    While "My Girl" is probably their signature song, "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" is my favorite. But they have so many classic songs.

    I just love this tune! I can't believe it only went to #10 on the R&B chart but did make it to #1 on the Pop Chart.

    Luciano, I went to see the Independents in concert in March of 1973 at what would be my High School. They were a brand new group and they were spectacular! This song "Leaving Me" was one of my favorites in 1973 and it still sounds great. Thank you!

    Hi agian, Marv!

    You have made me a "revival" when at my 14 - 15 years old I purchased one of my first vynils 8in fact this was my first COMPILATION by VVAA): "Soul Food [[Soul a la Carta)" by ABC distributed here in Spain by Discos Mediterráneo / Movieplay. How I enjoyed every one of the tracks wich I remember exactly by memory!!

    - "Chocolate Chip" - Isaac Hayes
    - "It's Yours To Have" - Freda Payne
    - "How Long" - Pointer Sisters
    - "Everlasting Love" - Carl Carlton
    - "It's Fooling You" - The Dramatics
    - "Time" - Mighty Clouds Of Joy
    - "Original Midnight Mama" - Sylvia Smith
    - "Fighting To Keep My Head Above water" - Frankie Redmond
    - "Warning" - Clarence Carter
    - "You Got The Love" - Rufus feat. Chaka Khan
    - "I Get Off On You" - Lydia Pense & Cold Blood
    - "Theme from SWAT" - Rhythm Heritage
    - "Three Steps From True Love" - Billy Davis, Jr.
    - "Reach For The Moon [[Poor People) - Angelo Bond
    - "Disco Connection" - Isaac Hayes
    - "Loving Time" - Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr.

    Every track, IMHO, was the bomb! grace to that compilation I discovered The Dramatics, Angelo Bond and others and purchase more and more new albums!

    Thanks for the memories.

    You can have a party with just that record right? You mentioned Angelo Bond. He is a great singer and songwriter out of Detroit. He recently produced a song for Mary Wilson for still unreleased CD "Life's Been Good to Me"!

    Luciano, speaking of the Dells. The next three I'm posting are a Triple play from the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti, Michigan area. First up, Miss Barbara Lewis with "Hello Stranger" backed up by none other than the Dells! From 1963:
