Favorite 70's Soul/R&B?
 

...They don't make them like Minnie anymore

Chaka Khan natch

War/Low Rider - they did alot of soul/r&b although this tune is a little more latin r&b? shit i dont know..
great video tho-

i wasnt born then lol

That's tough.

A lot of good artsits/bands/groups from that period.

It was a superior period for music.

yeah man when i was a kid and having to listen to whatever my father listening to it was all about the jacksons. and pretty much still is.

but now i do a lot of record digging and found some shit i love and never knew like billy paul, millie jackson, and damn near anything barry white put his hands on (not just his own stuff)

keep those records man!

not sure if this counts, but i think this song is great, so fuck it....

Man I'm mainly listening to soul music lately, to add some:

Isaac Hayes - incredible arranger and song writer and an all time hero

Late Aretha Franklin - pure genius



She gets it on and just blows you away.

Dionne Warwick

Marvin Gaye - "What's goin on" one of the best albums in the history

The Chicago school - The Impressions and Curtis Mayfield deserve to be on every pedestal out there

Deniece Williams

Freda Payne - love "Band of gold"




If you wanna go the more funky route then of course you have:

Brothers Johnson

The Headhunters

Kool and The Gang (had a great start then became more of a regular disco act)

George McRae

Instant funk as an epitome of dance funk music



Earth Wind and Fire

The Headhunters

Maze feat. Frankie Beverly - all smooth

Plenty of unknown bands these days that I'm still on a hunt for, incredible times for music.

Ingenious background for a lazy afternoon or a romantic wild passionate übersex night.

Johnny Guitar Watson

The Pimp's Firstclass Soulman and Funkmaster.

Stylistics...Spinners...so many to choose from.....
Soultown on Sirius/XM is one of my presets, pretty much can't go wrong there :)

Fuck that seems like just yesterday. Where did it all go???

Can't go wrong with Parliament Funkadelic

Being a musician ...
 

I like most all types of music. I play trumpet, valve trombone, tenor sax, Fender & Gretch bass, Lowrey organ, Casio & Yamaha keyboards ... whew. I like the 50's, late 60's and early 70's music ... but, when it gets to 5 screetching guitars with distortion and singers swallowing the mike and screaming lyrics that were not understandable I lost interest in modern music.

I played at the old Peppermint Lounge in Detroit in the 50's, played with Tommy Dorsey band in the 60's, do background trumpet playing for upcoming singers doing demo records and with various local groups on occasion. I'm 73 now so am slowing down a little. Was on the road in the U. S. and Europe for 10-15 years and loved it then ... but age is creeping up on me. :Oh crap

Do some stand up comedy now as 'Crazy Ernie' and do pretty well with that. Do a lot of freebies at rest homes, etc. Have both a tame and a downright naughty 'Crazy Ernie' routine. Both have their place in todays market.

Hum a nice song today while you work. :thumbsup

Damn Tommy Dorsey, that is killer! Sounds like you did some great gigs man.

Persian Kitty- i was just about to whip out some Maggot Brain...

Alot of great ones mentioned, Kool and The Gang, Earth Wind and Fire and Johhny Guitar Watson!!

Oohhhhhh Yeeeeaaaahhhhh mmmmmmmmm.......
