No, this isn't a post about the Killers. Thankgod! I hear you screech. Yeah, well.
This is a little music post that must be shared. I'm lucky enough to have grown up with a mother and father totally commited to Northern Soul. Both are still heavily involved with the scene today and often attend allnighters (No wonder i turned out the way i have, wouldn't have it any other way). Young memories i have of being picked up late Sunday afternoon after they had come back from whatever all nighter are a happy one, we would often go back and Dad would have his record box out, playing sounds straight out of Detriot. At such a young age i was certainly priviledged. Such sounds are imbedded deep in my inner making and i truely believe that i love the things that i do, and am passionate about music the way i am because of such scenarios. Taking on my old mans love affair with Vinyl and all things soulful and funkfilled here's two records i'm lucky enough to have in my box.
1. Nolan Porter - If i could only be sure (ABC records)
Quite rare record to obtain, costing around £40.... A smooth soulful groove with great backing beat. Haunting.
2. Tyrone Davis - Turn back the hands of Time (Dakar records)
My favourate of the two, what a sound. Great voice and 100% groove, listen to the lyrics, we've all been there...Proberbly. Absolutely Sublime.
