Back in time soul classic 12"s from the UK and US - Mostly 1990s when vinyl records and pirate radio ruled. Tammy Payne, Lalah Hathaway, Gold In The Shade, Emma Haywoode, Zhane...Audio samples with every tune - Take a moment to reminisce.... Feel free to get in touch-badboy-soul@hotmail.co.uk
The first track off the 1990 album 'Look How Long' which is a cd everyone should own! There's some really good songs on this album-'Don't You Ever Try To Change Me' 'Love Controversy' 'Don't Be A Fool' Well worth buying for the £3-£4 you can pick it up for.
This is Mary J Blige's tune using Curtis Mayfield's 'Give Me Your Love' and she does very well with this. Real soul from Mary J instead of the whining we are now used to from her..
>Not sure if this blog is gonna change direction..70's tunes...streetsoul.....now we're into the 2000's..Trying to post good tunes so when people log in every day or two they can press play and reminisce and feel good! Hope everyone enjoys the ride anyway!
This is one of my favourite artists Erykah Badu with 'Bag Lady' which uses the killer Soul Mann & The Brothers sample that Dr Dre used on his 'Xxplosive' track. Not sure where this mix is from but it wasn't on the cd or 12" that I had..

The man himself-Barry White. 'Playing Your Game, Baby' has been ripped off countless times by various artists. It's an absolute classic. If you don't know about these tunes, it's time to learn..
Beautiful tune by the one and only Stevie Wonder. Every one of his 70's albums is a masterpiece, if you want real music go check 'em out. This man is a true genius. Much respect Stevie.
I am almost sure that I have already posted this but can't seem to find it on my own blog! This is a top tune from 1996. Conscious lyrics from Nonchalant, a great rap 12"
"Your brother gettin' skinny, cause you want your pockets fatter"
Taken from the album 'Zagora' this is a nice Loose Ends tune from the mid eighties. Typical sounding 808 beats and some nice Middle Eastern sounds as the cover also appears to suggest...
