I have been a soul music fan for over forty years and i am still finding great soul music, and from some unusual places. A case in point is the Eurythmics CD i got today. Not even considered that Annie Lennox was ever a soul singer as their music is mostly pop but the final track "Was It Just Another Love Affair?" hits the spot. Feels like a Jam and Lewis type od soul vibe. Enjoy.



Mary J Blige, i must admit, i have not considered before, but the CD from my bargain hall today is a revelation with top tracks such as Everything and her version of a n Aretha Franklin tune , Natural Woman.



Great version of the Aretha Franklin classic.

Then the Boyz II Men album, whilst half good, threw up some surprises, in particular the swinging Motown Philly. Feet go crazy!

If you haven't already read Robert Gordon's book (http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/jan/20/respect-yourself-stax-records-robert-gordon), Respect Yourself: Stax Records and The Soul Explosion, you want to.

Also visiting the Stax Records museum in Memphis is terrific. Just visiting Memphis for all kinds of (black) music is great -- and it still has terrific radio stations.

(Was just there a little less than two weeks ago! My goodness, does time ever gallop.)

Love, C.
