Totally missed this song in 2009. Raphael Saadiq: 100 Yard Dash. Killer riff! Jaw-dropping voice, too.

In case anyone is wondering how the "Soul Brothers Top 20" was compiled, looks like it's a "most played at social gatherings" chart, as opposed to the "best sellers" and "radio play" charts of other publications.



HEADLINE: JET Begins Soul Brothers Top 20 Popularity Poll 

The entertainment editors of JET newsmagazine surveyed 25 major cities where “soul brothers” and “soul sisters” gather in night clubs, record hops, house parties, school recreation lounges, ete. to listen and dance to juke boxes and record players. Results of the survey show the top 20 records most often played. In order to learn whether or not our entertainment editors and music polls conducted by white-oriented publications are in line with your thinking, Jet asks its readers to participate each week in a music record poll to select your favorite songs, artists, and record labels. Here’s what we want you to do: Write in numerical order the 20 songs which are your favorites. List with each song the name of the record artist and the record label. (Example: Mercy, Mercy, Mercy . .. Cannonball Adderley, Capitol Records.) Then name: 1) record Hit of the Week, 2) Album of the Week and 3) Artist of the Week. (Example: Hit of the Week—Coming Home, Mary Wells (Atlantic); Album of the Week—Raw Soul, James Brown (King); Artist of the Week—Nancy Wilson, Naturally—Nancy (Capitol). Rush your selection by postal card or letter to: Jet, 1820 South Michigan Ave., Chicago, Ill. 60616.

Early 1980s. rarely played black artists, was just getting it's legs, so R&B music videos were usually low-budget and got limited exposure on locally-produced TV shows like on 's . We'd tape 'em on VHS and make copies and pass 'em around at school. This is what they looked like. Fer real! 🎵 🎶 📺 👍 😁

The James Hunter Six - “Satchelfoot” (2016)

English R&B / soul singer and his awesome band play rhythmically inventive music that show off a bunch of musical styles, like on this strutting, steamy instrumental with its Latin rhythms, razor-sharp guitars, and horns all vying for domination while the organ and sax solos steal the show!

They’re playing tonight at the Cornerstone in Berkeley (h/t to @sfbayshows for the tip!)

Ich starte mit den Angels of Libra und dem Track „In & Out“ feat. Jean Cortis. Das neue Album Revelations und die kommenden Konzerte sind eine Empfehlung für Fans von Retro Soul und Vinyl.

It was down to the wire, but I managed to put together a #BestOf2022 list with a few hours to go before 2023. Here are my favorite #2022Albums by #Oakland musicians. Enjoy! billchapin.net/allthecitylight

There's some #CountrySoul, #RetroSoul, #IndieFolk, #PowerPop & #Chillwave represented (though I made a big deal about how futile it is to pigeonhole these artists).
