Looking for some recommendations...
...in the ol' classic 60s/70s soul/r'n'b area. I was ripping my CDs to my iTunes and noticed an alarming lack of such music. So I was just wondering if anyone here could point me in the direction of some of the greats.
I'll tell what I've got already; The Isley Brothers - [some cheap best of comp or other] Sam & Dave - The Best Of... The Golden Torch Comp. The Temptations - My Girl Diana Ross & the Supremes - Singles Collection Barry White - Singles Collection And it's only the top four albums there I still listen to on a regular basis. Any pointers would be muchly appreciated |

Made in response to the prevailing funky-jam stylings of Sly and the Family Stone, it includes the 9-minute psychedelic epic 'Runaway Child, Running Wild' and a bunch of soul standards.
and this if you want some raw emotion: |

Marvin Gaye-What's Going On
Four Tops- Any Best of Stevie Wonder-Innervisions ...and if you want to dabble into some Funk then: Various Superfly Soul CD It's one of my favourite compilations ever. Also: Cane And Able- S/T is probably the greatest Funk album that not many people have heard of.

I like The Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding. I think it's mainly some of the singles put together and released after his tragic death. I second Otis Redding Sings Soul as well
Other than that, my knowledge is limited to whatever has been posted so far.(and some names I haven't checked out yet) |
