[The_Purple_Cow]

[The_Purple_Cow]

The greatest blue eyed soul track of all time.

[Amor de Cosmos]

Live psychedelisized soul from The Chambers Brothers. Mega-extended version of Time Has Come Today from 1969. Is this enough cowbell for ya?

[gjw100]

Channelling a definite Earth Wind and Fire vibe, Slave's 'The Great American Funk Song' from 'Hardness Of The World' (1977).

[gjw100]

the 7" verson of ex Miles Davis bassist Michael Henderson's 'Wide Receiver' from 1980.

Bobby Caldwel - 'What You Won't Do For Love' (1978).

[The_Purple_Cow]

I'd forgotten how much I loved this one. Just found a copy on Dicogs for £6. Bargain of the century - and this was the 'B' side!

[The_Purple_Cow]

Here's the 'A' side - o.k. but nothing special.

[The_Purple_Cow]

Absolute classic.

This one does not fit the timeline but I am going to post it here because I think the regular posters to this thread (and those of us who come to it) will perhaps dig the song more than if I post it in the earworm or new to me thread:

[Satchmo Distel]

Eddie Floyd - I've Never Found A Girl (To Love Me Like You Do)
