    Incredible to think that this version is far more soulful than the Jackson's poptastic version of the Mick Jackson original .

    Not my favourite Jackson's song to be honest and I much prefer Mick's follow-up single Weekend which I bought on vinyl .

    Next a B-side from Nancy Sinatra - the other side of These Boots ....

    The City Never Sleeps At Night . Played this to death when I was very young .

    Never heard that before ram. Even after one listen I must say it's excellent. Nancy has a great voice, and it's nice to hear something 'new' from her. Great

    ...............................................................

    Now a song that I loved from staying in the US during the 80's. Don't think it made it over here (not sure) but I have fond memories of this song as a youngster.

    Let' Celebrate ~ Skyy (1981)

    A topper !! This is my kinda music - yet again . Download land beckons yet again . Cannot fault it . Not even a sax solo !!

    Change of mood here - takes me back - pity the performance is out of synch though .

    Blackfoot Sue - Standing in the road

    Classic Glam Rock. Sounds like Slade - and that's a good thing for me. Love the heavy bass line. Not heard it for many years. Very good.

    .............................................................................

    Another from when I lived over the pond.

    Ain't No Doubt About It ~ Today Tomorrow forever (1980)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOeJ_BFJoBo&videos=95ik2L5nXo0

    I shall try to post a different genre soon I promise :o

    Really enjoyed that - another new song / new group to me .

    Next up a dance classic from the early 80s .

    Sylvester / Patrick Cowley - Menergy

    Love it. Needless to say that is a fav of mine. Still sounds great today.

    ............................................................

    In an attempt to change the genre that I keep posting - here's a song that is not soul/funk.

    Spiders And Snakes ~ Jim Stafford (1974)

    Dear Friend, Paul McCartney

    One of his forgotten classics.

    Not mad on McCartney personally but that was very pleasant although it did meander quite a bit.


    Next up a timeless classic, scandalously neglected when it came out a few years back

    We Won't Have To Be Lonesome- Micah P Hinson

    Crikey Micah is a man ! Assumed incorrectly it would be a lady. Loved the playing on this very pleasant tune .

    By the way I adore Spiders and Snakes - the song - not that crazy about the creatures !

    Will check out the McCartney effort presently .

    My next choice is a bit dated but I love it :-

    The Cufflinks - When Julie comes around

    I'd forgotten about that song. I always remember 'Tracy' but this one is just as if not better. Ron Dante of the Cufflinks sang the vocals on 'Sugar Sugar' by the Archies (bit of trivia there) ;) I really like it.

    ..............................................................

    Very early Jeffrey Osborne now. Before he was a solo artist of course.

    (Everytime I Turn Around) Back In Love Again ~ L.T.D (1977)

    Has Jeffrey Osbourne ever done a bad song.
    Very funky that- he certainly mellowed a lot over the years.

    I think this would still be in my all time Top 20.

    Brilliant !! Thta's me up to 5 tunes downloaded and all of them quality . I love this track - not just the quality vocals but the backing track is wonderful - very fresh and lucid . Why was this not a hit in the UK ? At times I despair of the record-buying public .

    Next a track which was kept on the album and not released as a single much to my chagrin back in 1983 !

    Shalamar - Right here .

    Not familiar with that. Fantastic stuff. I don't think Shalamar have ever done a song I don't like to be honest.

    .......................................................................

    Not sure if anyone will like this. Don't be put off by the first minute or so - it does calm down. :eek:

    Have faith Jimmy - first minute certainly didn't put me off . This was like a cross between Man 2 Man vs Village People and I loved it !

    Never heard it before and glad I got in first to 'review' it .

    What about Linx - I can't help myself - a flop from 1981 much to my disgust as this is my favourite Linx song .

    Hope this plays OK as it kept stopping when I downloaded it .

    :eek: Gawd that was one loud video. I had to peel the cat off the ceiling after I clicked it. :eek:

    Brilliant song. I really like David Grant. You're right ram, this song should have done far better than it did. Thumbs up.

    ..................................................................

    Boney M now. This is the first track on the 'Oceans Of Fantasy' album I love this album.

    Make that 6 downloads now ! :)
    This is simply awesome . I'm about to play it again - it was that good . Why was this not a single ? Probably my favourite of all the songs posted by other people on this thread . Cheers for that Jimmy.

    Now for something totally different ; another B-side - this time the B-side of the Cure's Close to me - A man inside my mouth .

    Although R&B and dance is my favourite genre I do occasionally branch out into Rock and Indie land . Enjoy

    Love the Cure - never heard that before - and it's a good 'un. Love the bass line and as usual the unique Cure sound is there.

    ..................................................................

    A favourite of mine. Sounds like the Stylistics, but they are just as good.

    You seem to have a never ending supply of these Jim- and thats fine by me.
    An absolute belter - as you say very Stylistics but you can't go far wrong if you follow that template.


    Don't know how well known this is but a truly beautiful and moving song from 1997

    That was fantastic Hayden. Never heard of him before - what a voice though. Loved it.

    ............................................................

    Very early Phill Fearon now, Before Kandidate and Galaxy. I used to play this to destruction.

    Pay Up ~ Proton Plus (1981)

    Not so keen on this one Jimmy . It started off fine - but by the time the sax solo kicked in I was beginning to lose interest .

    Cannot win them all - I suppose . Maybe Hayden will like it .

    You can never knock a bit of Phil Fearon, never heard that one before, and while not one of my favourites of his, it passed a pleasant 5 minutes.

    The Heatwave track used to be a real favourite and I haven't heard it for years,
    Superb stuff

    Something a bit different now. You'll either love this or hate it. I think it's great.
    Camper than a box full of Larry Graysons.

    Honest opinion; very cheesy and ever so slightly scary!

    Her voice is very deep, it's quite disconcerting. Not really my taste.

    I love it. Never heard it before. Didn't know of it tbh - but very nice song.

    Have always loved the Jerry Keller song . How short were songs back then! Not as short as the next one I am about to post which finishes prematurely and then starts off once again .

    Ricky Nelson - Travelin' man

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0janfcZ8LUw

    and by the way another thumbs up for Amanda Lear - loved every
    second of it ! :)

    Love it. Ricky Nelson is a very accomplished performer. Funny how we got that song twice. :) I am not complaining though ... really enjoyed it.

    One my favourite lady's now. What a voice.

    Manhattan ~ Ella Fitzgerald (1956)
