Been listening to a fair bit of James Brown recently. The Mr Dynamite documentary is very good.
I have a stupidly massive soul & funk playlist which I have been shuffling through this week. So many gems.
almost my entry for the current round of music league

Would have definitely got a point from me!
Found this group last week. Had 4 albums reissued on NowAgain last year and they’re all really good. Nice bit of jazz funk.
how the fuck have I missed the thread? Pops NY’s fav genre, fml.

just listening to this now and did a wee search. An absolute masterpiece. I want all 12 minutes of Walk On By played at my funeral

I thought I’d bump this as I’m sorting the 500-odd songs on my Spring / Summer catch-all playlist into different genres, just in case I fancy something in particular on a warm, breezy day. There’s a load of soul stuff that I’m rediscovering so I may post the odd track in here every now and then that I stumble upon…
Billy Paul - Let the Dollar Circulate (1975)
Later chopped up by J Dilla for Steve Spacek…
And sampled for Mary J Blige…

Another 1975 one from me…
Al Matthews - Fool
Yes, this is also the actor that was in Aliens and The Fifth Element.

Starting to dig into some Barry White. Any essential albums here? Looks like there was a strong run from ‘74 but happy to be told the best way to explore his stuff. Looks like a lot of his stuff got butchered for single edits so thinking the singles comp I’ve been going in on is not really the one
RIP 
So good
Fan of Wu Tang? You’ll recognise this one
