If you're only not voting because of potential ties i'll be happy to break them if you want, you'd just have to PM me because i don't look at these tournaments unless i'm a part of them. Just a suggestion because i don't think it's right that you aren't getting a say in your own tournament.

Thanks for the offer Camo, it is much appreciated but I've not voted in my own tournaments before and I've already put myself in that mindset now for this one so I'll just do the same again this time.

@christine, @edarsenal, @d_chatterley, @jiraffejustin, @mojofilter

Al Green - Love and Happiness vs The Stovall Sisters - Hang On In There

Allen Toussaint - Soul Sister vs Smokey Robinson - Cruisin'

Stevie Wonder - We Can Work It Out vs King Curtis and the Kingpins - Memphis Soul Stew

Rose Royce - I Wanna Get Next To You vs Nick Hakim - The Green Twins

Parliament - Give Up The Funk vs James Brown - Popcorn With a Feeling

Bettye Lavette - Let Me Down Easy vs Ray Charles - You Ought To Change Your Ways

Aretha Franklin - Save Me vs Lynn Williams - Don't Be Surprised

Raphael Saadiq - Stone Rollin' vs Valerie June - Got Soul

Al Green - Love and Happiness vs The Stovall Sisters - Hang On In There Al Green is wonderful, but there's something raucous about the Stovall Sisters that really appeals to me. Backing band is excellent too

Allen Toussaint - Soul Sister vs Smokey Robinson - Cruisin' - Soul Sisters is so of it's time

Stevie Wonder - We Can Work It Out vs King Curtis and the Kingpins - Memphis Soul Stew

Rose Royce - I Wanna Get Next To You vs Nick Hakim - The Green Twins the guy's got a great soul voice, I'd like to hear more.

Parliament - Give Up The Funk vs James Brown - Popcorn With a Feeling - classic funk

Bettye Lavette - Let Me Down Easy vs Ray Charles - You Ought To Change Your Ways - Bettye is a class singer, such a powerful voice and the song is brilliant. Everything Northern Soul loves

Aretha Franklin - Save Me vs Lynn Williams - Don't Be Surprised of course Aretha is wonderful, but Don't Be Surprised is a great unknown song , depressing as hell but great nonetheless!

Raphael Saadiq - Stone Rollin' vs Valerie June - Got Soul wow I don't know this girl but she's great, what a genre mashup too. I like it enough to vote against my own nom

ROUND ONE - DAY THREE (final day)


Al Green - Love and Happiness vs The Stovall Sisters - Hang On In There

Allen Toussaint - Soul Sister vs Smokey Robinson - Cruisin'
actually a close call but Smokey's voice had a little more going on for me

Stevie Wonder - We Can Work It Out vs King Curtis and the Kingpins - Memphis Soul Stew
another very close one. Making the Beatle's song his own blend of Stevie was great, but, once ALL the ingredients went into the stew. . . Well - hell

Rose Royce - I Wanna Get Next To You vs Nick Hakim - The Green Twins

Parliament - Give Up The Funk vs James Brown - Popcorn With a Feeling
THE definitive Funk cuz ain't no party like a P-Funk party

Bettye Lavette - Let Me Down Easy vs Ray Charles - You Ought To Change Your Ways

Aretha Franklin - Save Me vs Lynn Williams - Don't Be Surprised
ya know, I was pretty set to hand it right to the Lady of Soul, Aretha, but my goodness, that was such sweet soul-filled song by Lynn

Raphael Saadiq - Stone Rollin' vs Valerie June - Got Soul

ROUND ONE - DAY THREE
