Music: Soul, R&B, Dance - 60s to mid 90s. The full range - anything from the deepest soul to the cheapest bit of disco tat is welcome at mine! :-) I'm not a fan of jazz (jazz-funk yes) or James Brown-type funk. I tend to prefer my soul slinky and uptown rather than raw and earthy (I'm a Philly/Chicago guy rather than a Memphis one). I hardly listen to anything from the last 10 years, I find most contemporary R&B virtually unlistenable - maybe it's my age, but I feel it all started to go horribly wrong sometime in the mid 90s. I also love Brazilian and French music. And I'm a Eurovision Song Contest obsessive and huge fan of Britney, bless her!
STATEMENT re COPYRIGHT All the tracks I upload are from my personal collection which I have legitimately paid for. There is no gain to me other than sharing great music. I do not send music to others via mp3s, on the contrary I encourage the purchase of tracks/albums either on physical CD or via legal download from accredited sites, as I feel this is only fair to artists, composers and music companies. If however you own the rights to any tracks I have posted and do not want your track(s) to be showcased on YouTube, please message me and I will comply with any requests for removal. --------------------------------------------- To anybody who's just stumbled across this channel - hello and welcome! The music info below is pretty much what this channel is about. Most of the tracks I post are ones I can't find elsewhere on YT. I try to mix things up by posting music from all parts of the soul/dance spectrum, also by uploading both well-known and relatively obsure/specialist tracks, so if you spot an artist or track you've never heard of, give it a listen! I also sometimes post a non soul/dance track which I love and think deserves to be here. I'm always open to requests, so if you've been looking for as particular track which you can't find, let me know and if I have it, I'll post it. I'm now in the process of converting from cassettes to mp3, so now have hundreds more tracks potentially available - I was faithful to cassettes until well into the 90s and have boxes full of rare/obscure/hard-to-find material, particularly from the 80s, which I'm currently sorting through (and coming across forgotten gems I haven't heard myself for many years), so abw I'll be doing my bit in the coming weeks to restore some of these overlooked recordings to their rightful place, i.e. where people can listen to and appreciate them all over again :-)Videos (596 )

Just a great, great record, one of my all-time favourites which I can listen to on repeat 10 times in a row, and a real Guys' Anthem - "Girl, you're getting that look in your eyes, and it's starting to worry me......" LOL! How many of us haven't been able to relate to that at some point?!
