Still looking for some?

Anyone still trying to find some old soul/r&b CD/download to replace vinyl?

What old soul/disco/r&b are you still listening to?

I like the new stuff but some of the older stuff is CLASSIC !!

not my cuppa, i have a few motown compilations from the 60's... thats about it really.

Apart from a bit of Psychedelic soul from the late 60s not mine either.

I was well into disco and soul in the 70s and 80s and have quite a large amount of tracks on my computer which have been obtained from legal (ripping CDs, legal buying via downloading) and less than legal (from LimeWire and FrostWire back when I used them) means. I would guess I have over 1,000 disco tracks on my computer which range from the well known (Chic etc) to the slightly lesser known songs.

 

I usually play the entire lot on random so I never know what is coming up next. For Evelyn King, her best track is her debut single 'Shame' when she was billed as Evelyn "Champagne" King at aged 16. It's a glorious record (I still own the 12" too) and gets a regular play on my computer. My favourite years for disco and soul is 1977 to 1985 (which is when I bought the most singles in any genre) with the best disco music concentrated in its peak years of 1977 to 1979.
