I haven't seen Hoagy Lands mentioned much around here, but he had a great passionate, poppy style:

Thanks for backing me up anon. Your quads are well deserved. Good share
This has been a personal favorite of mine for a little while after i heard it in that Blu mixtape

Ha fellow digger here too, this is dope! Those backing vocals. I wonder how many of us fell in love with Soul as a result of looking for samples.
>>64336780
Thanks for the godtier covers Billy.
one of my favorite soul 45s :
Fluorescent smogg - Little Joe / All my life :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtufV5hOJ00
https://youtu.be/kmx77xwpcTY
soul album of the year desu
>>64336797
I always recommend that if someone likes a hip hop song to always check the samples to see if theres a good soul song hidden underneath. The amount of hidden gems you can find is insane.
>>64336939
this man has so much sadness on his face. I'll check the album out thanks anon
>>64336939
Mavis Staple - Livin' on a high note and Martha High - Singing for the good times were better imo
>>64336954
you can crate dig without the hip hop part though
>>64337002
Right? He looks like a guy who has lived life and seen some shit
>>64337050
I'm sure there is, but where i live there isn't that many opportunities for it other than when i hear it off a hip hop song (or a song from any other genre that happens to sample a soul song) off the internet
>>64337082
yeah of course, I'm myself living in Europe so soul stuff is sometimes hard to find, but when I said crate digging, I meant label digging on discogs (their youtube leech robot is usually pretty good at finding links to hear the songs) or soulful detroit or others as well
>>64337126
Oh yes that makes a bit more sense. Sounds like a great idea, i'll make sure to do more of that
Why is Motown still remembered and highly regarded today in a genre that not a lot of the general public remember anymore
The imperial wonders - You live only once / Turned around over you :
https://youtu.be/ypeRHNPR_uo
https://youtu.be/hxT4vDWP-lk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVRElbnmbTQ
>>64337257
just look at this : https://www.discogs.com/fr/label/559336-The-Complete-Motown-Singles
and think about how much releases it represents compared to any other soul or r&b label. not only were they good at it, they were also simply sold everywhere and en masse some of the biggest names of their times
The Harlem Square Club album is so good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkLZ_pVwU3k
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWL6Z1Tr0Yw
>>64337315
What would you say were the musical elements that made them a cut above from their contemporaries?
>>64337050
No idea she had a new one out, last I heard was this which was sweet.
>>64337050
>you can crate dig without the hip hop part though
Sure can.

well not only Gordy was hismelf good at writing and arranging songs, but he also recruted the best there were, like Smokey Robinson or the Holland-Dazier-Holland trio
concerning the music, the funk brothers, although uncredited a lot of times, were the house band for something like 20+ years, so they had the time to make a sound of their own, that was later called Motown style, based on some accessible gospel/soul/pop chemistry, to appeal to both black and white people
The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. And Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin.

oh shit I misquote. this was for >>64337359
>>64337372
hell yeah, Speedometer albums are also great. and High's new album was only released three days ago so I don't think it has been reviewed or talked about a lot
New world - Help the man / We're gonna make it :
https://youtu.be/Bh2ra2LMlHs
https://youtu.be/9KRtB1dw6iA
>>64337420
Agreed. Berry Gordy knows a hit song when he hears one, and knows the sort of people who can make them
>mfw Bohemian Rhapsody is not on the original list
>tfw when this thread is therefore invalid

>>64336939
Are old soul singers who are releasing new albums recently like a thing? Are they good?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z66wVo7uNw
What's some songs with some cool horn riffs like Move On Up?
>Inb4 lol Kanye sample
>>64337273
Thanks for this. The first song especially.
>>64338010
I can't speak for other modern soul but Charles Bradley is fucking amazing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi49yirJiEA
>>64339233
Wow now this is what i'm talking about. Why does nobody bring this guy up on here?
>>64339373
They do but soul threads are far between. He's even on this chart >>64338582
>>64339400
Yeah i'm enjoying this we should have soul threads more often. Also because current artists like Charles Bradley doesn't get discussed enough on here enough on here
Joe Baatan
>"Joe Bataan started off in the street corners singing Doo- Wops in the 1950's. When he was young teenager he was involved in street gangs. At the age of 15 he was sent to Coxackie State Prison served five years. Within that time he began to learn music. Then 6 months after his release he began to record music. His vision soared and Joe Bataan became known as the first recording artist to create real Latin R&B/Soul."

I rarely listen to EP or singles; i tend to prefer full albums or compilations

I'm much more of a funk than a soul guy, especially when it comes to tracking down forgotten gems, so most of these come from one of my friend's recommendations. some probably can be found on compilations, I guess
here is an album if you prefer this format

not only the eccentric soul collection is awesome, but the whole Numero group label work is fantastic. Omnibus vol. 1 is one of the best boxsets I've ever seen
Fuck me What's Going On is such a GOAT album

Rotary Connection/Minnie Ripperton are so goood!
>>64338107
Not quite on the same level as his solo stuff, but a lot of the Curtis Mayfield-led Impressions songs had them, too, if you haven't listened to them.
