I don’t know music very well, but would Sam Cooke fit here?

I'm sure he will. But I might slip past him.

I rewatched Jackie Brown recently, so this one's been on my mind a lot lately.

[Jinnistan]

Yes, that's exactly the kind of cool breezy soul I'm talking about. Right on time, Rock.


Jackie Brown has a great soundtrack, with Womack's "Across 110th Street" and "Didn't I?". Although my favorite version of that last song is Aretha's.

Of course I can easily get carried away here....

Don't ask me to explain this, but whenever the weather starts to get cooler I always find myself in the mood for War. The mellow stuff, specifically.

[Jinnistan]

No explanation necessary. It's a mutual phenomenon.

[Jinnistan]

Yes, that's right. We need to soak in it.

[Jinnistan]

I get ambivalent with soul music into the 80s, as the production takes a curdling turn to synths and icy drips. A little too cool for my tastes. There's still a handful of classics to be had, if you listen past the polish.

[Jinnistan]

Of course Prince was the one who could keep it "cool" and carry the soul into the future while balancing the technology and his own innovations. Sorry, Michael. "Prince won!" - Chris Rock. (The "Sir Duke" bow at the end is like the final gavel drop on that feud.)

Speaking of Stevie.

Music of My Mind probably isn't my favorite Stevie album, but sometimes I think it might be.

It isn't Innervisions. What is?

[Jinnistan]

Poor James. I hate when people say that he can't sing. He has a tremendous voice. His squeals are always right on key. Here's an example of him going full Lennon.

And then he decides to use Harrison to run rings around Sinatra.

I appreciate the enthusiasm, SE.


Let's take it a bit old(er) school then.

The best Lionel Richie song.

Childhood favorite. It's remarkable how many arguments I've had trying to tell people that this wasn't Hall & Oates :(

And one for SpelingError.

This is a great discovery. I'm not familiar with Delegation. Thanks! Also, great choices for the others. :up:

[Jinnistan]

Looks like it's the last week for some September sentiments.


Here's a couple of soulful ladies. This has been done more famously by Etta James, Rod Stewart, etc. I like this mellow and warm version the best.

My very favorite performance of one of my very favorite songs. And I always have.
