JB with a couple of his proteges. Classic 70s funk....

Didn't hear JB tho, bro

On 2nd listening I think he made a few whoops! and ows! on backing vocals . . .

Kool & the Gang before they went over to pop. Damn good funk band in their early years.....

Labelle in brilliant, spine tingling form......

Gorgeous ballad, deceptively simple yet so engaging......

Kim Weston showing what a great singer she was. Never got the success she deserved....

Mellow....great guitar, horns and organ

Tip top 70's Gospel Soul from a great singer.....

Irresistible groove. Super bass and that clavinet! Cut a lot of good records COTB

Classy stuff from The Crusaders. From arguably their best album Southern Comfort.....

Girls Just Wanna have Fun, Nothing Compares to You, Black Magic Woman and Tainted Love were all covers, as was the Elvis version of Nothing but a Hounddog, while Self Control was originally sung by an Italian named Raf.

Who knew?

& Whiskey in the Jar is an old Irish folk song. Ok, not such a big surprise there...

Classic 50s Gospel quartet. Wonderful vocals with lyrics very much relevant today....

Interesting. Reminded me a lot of one of my favorite old groups, the Platters, with the powerful vocals rising to crescendos. I guess that's how the Platters probably started out - singing gospel at church.

Great version of a Four Tops classic. Minus the orchestration, you can fully appreciate Levi's fantastic delivery. What a singer he was.

I just read the Hollies' successfully sued Radiohead for plagiarizing this tune with Creep. Never would've picked that one!

One of the best singers around today....

This girl became an international disco star in the 80s.

rowan · Post by **rowan** » Thu Aug 30, 2018 4:48 pm

& here she is in 85, if no one figured it out. This song is one of those eternal disco classics, still very much in vogue on the Istanbul club scene more than 3 decades after it was released:

There seemed to be a lot of continental European bands around in the late 80s and early 90s as electronic pop music became all the rage. But, my god, those hairdos were awful
