I've seen some older music posted here and about on this forum but I figured I'd start up a discussion aimed solely at what the pre-80s music world had to offer. I listen to a lot of old soul so I'll be posting a lot of that most likely. Here goes:
Dorothy Morrison "Black California"
Dorothy Morrison - Black California (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZweJMrvmTc#)
probably one of my favorite soul songs ever recorded
Donny Hathaway "Jealous Guy"
Donny Hathaway - Jealous Guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7EsC1TMzrA#)
probably one of my favorite cover songs ever recorded (dare i say, better than the deftones version?)
Baby Huey "A Change Is Going To Come"
Baby Huey - A Change is Going to Come (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh9v41hx5hs#)
Fender IV "Everybody Up"
Everybody Up - Fender IV (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwNhCAjz-Vo#)
i used to listen to a lot of surf rock in my younger teens. not so much anymore but this track has always stuck with me. crazy energy in this song.
Groupies "Primitive"
The Groupies - Primitive (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE6pYY45w34#)
The Brooks Brothers "Looking For A Woman"
Brooks Brothers - Looking for a woman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8lyw04uA0c#)
i can't get no satisfaction
I guess I'll leave it at that for now. Looking forward to hearing antiques from the rest of y'all.
I grew up on Gospel, Soul, R&B and reggae thanks to my awesome parents, this is still a favourite of mine though
Dusty Springfield Son of a Preacher Man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjydOI4MEIw#)
Jimmy Cliff too
Jimmy Cliff - Vietnam (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbJ1Ky-CjZY#)
