It's a Soul Thang

My son and I have been on a now extended Soul music kick. Late 60's-mid 70's stuff, after some of the artists evolved from pop, before a lot of artists turned to disco, and way before what is now consider R&B. You know, Al Green, Aretha, Stevie, Gaye, Withers, Billy Paul, Mayfield, Temptations, Spinners..etc. Looking for some of the perhaps less obvious choices that folks enjoy that they'd like to suggest for fleshing out and expanding our collections! Thanks.

Has anyone made any compilations of their favorite soul music that they would be interested in trading for some jazz CDR's?

"The Horse" by Cliff Nobles (I would never have remembered that name!) is an instrumental and I wonder if The Preparations was the same. I gotta do an Amazon search for that song! Also want "Lookin' For A Fox" and "Bugaloo Down Broadway".

It seems the group is well versed in the older guard, which I agree. But how about some younger new guys? Here is one Van Hunt. Certainly not as good, but promising.

For newer Soul I think the Acid Jazz bands like Brand New Heavies, Incognito, perhaps Jamiroquai among others were keeping soul alive for a while. Then there's neo soul, Maxwell is one of the best, also Jill Scott and Angie Stone.
