raw soul from Nathanial mayer, love and affection, from detroit, a great live performer, with a few risque shows.

Here is a funk song I would add to the list from one of the greatest and most underrated soul artists:

Billy Paul - Am I Black Enough For You

billy larkin, & the delegates, ain't that a groove, a james brown composition, giv'n a mod make over.

cracking version of open the door to your heart, by chris farlowe, one of the most underated soul singers ever, his version of handbags & gladrags is also the best.

anna king, mama's got a bag of her own, one of my favourite northern soul dancers, awesome!

Great version...thanks for this.
As you probably know Doni Burdick and the hugely popular Darrell Banks made excellent versions, but the best of all in my opinion is a toss up between JJ Barnes and Jackie Wilson's efforts.

Here's Jackie Wilson's;

i would opt for jackie wilson, but i'm biased, as i think jackie wilson's the man, but darrell banks version is equally as good, what ya think of anna kings, mama's got a bag ?

I think your taste in soul music is bloody marvelous.
The bass line and piano put me in mind of Wade In the Water.
