Claudia Patrice - Forever (1990)

Well, here is that tune that's been hanging around on the top right of this blog for months! Claudia Patrice - Forever. Thanks for BULLITZ for identifying this for me. Another old skool soul classic..check it out.

Thanks

I Just want to say thanks to all the people who've visited the blog since its creation back in August 2007. The original idea was to post up vinyl classics that had no coverage at all on the internet. Most of these were UK soul 12"s mainly heard across pirate radio back in the late 1980's and early 1990's - the true vinyl era!! I have not been with my stack of vinyl for a couple of years now so as you can see the posts have got more Youtube based as I have less time on my hands and no vinyl to hand! I will carry on adding stuff here and this will hopefully always be a shrine to those classic streetsoul days, I also know a lot of people out there are grateful that they can hear Gold In The Shade, Tammy Payne or Lalah Hathaway again..

Since records began (Nov 07) there have been 44028 visits and 123,136 page views. Not too bad considering there's not really much copy on here, I suppose it's all about the music...

Monk Higgins - One Man band Plays All alone

Not only did these tunes supply the beats for many of the classic rap tunes of the 1990's, they are also fantastic in their own right. Check the break out at 2.19..

Inner Life feat Jocelyn Brown - Make It Last Forever

Sounds like Barry White strings, 1980's squelchy keyboard bass and Jocelyn Brown. Great stuff...

Kym Sims - Too Blind To See It (1991)

Memories....

Tweet - Turn Da Lights Off

The beat on this one is awesome. Just wish Missy would turn her mouth off. Sadly she doesn't.

More brilliance from Donald Byrd. Sampled on a house track (4.46) and by various other hip hop artists..

Did these 1970's soul legends really realise just what they were creating? Donald Byrd with yet another killer track. Sampled by Black Moon and Tupac. Real music.

Bell Biv DeVoe Poison 1990

Undeniable classic.

Timmy Thomas Why Can't We Live Together

Strange how the majority of the world seem to think this way... There was actually a nice version of this in the early 90's - anyone know who it was by? Timmy Thomas with a timeless classic..

Soul Inspired - Soul Night In Manchester UK

Soul music - in Manchester? The legendary soul control sound system are back! The amplifiers are being dusted down as we speak! Real soul music hits Manchester this weekend. Streetsoul/rnb/classic 80's grooves will be the order of the day here, or night! The last time I heard Mike Stephens play he was on FIRE! If you like the tunes on this blog and complain there's nowhere to go - this is for you. The survival of nights like this relies on people like you to make an appearance! Get yourself down there, I'm sure this is gonna be something special.
