Memphis 60 – Soul, R&B, & Proto-Funk From Soul City USA

Out Of Stock

A fresh look at the Memphis soul scene of the 60s – hardly the bastion of hits that you'd expect from more mainstream collections, and instead a killer compilation of rare gems and funky nuggets – many of which we'd never heard before! The package does a great job of getting past the obvious – moving aside the well-known hits of the Memphis scene at the time, and focusing instead on underground singles and overlooked soul tracks – pulled from the farther corners of labels like Goldwax, Stax, and XL. Even after all these years of looking at classic soul, Ace have still come up with something new – just the kind of set that has us loving the label all over again! Titles include "The Hawg" by Eddie Kirk, "The Spoiler" by Eddie Purrell, "I Ain't Gonna Cheat On You No More" by Wee Willie Walker, "Double Up" by LH & The Memphis Sounds, "I'm Going Home" by Prince Conley, "I Don't Know" by The Dixie Nightingales, "Blue Groove" by Sir Isaac & The Do Dads, "Tramp" by Junior Kimbell, "You Don't Love Me" by Willie Cobbs, "Shake Shake Shake" by Willie Bollinger, "Soul City USA" by Spencer Wiggins, "She's About A Mover" by Percy Milem, "Restless" by The Cobras, "The Side Wind" by The Lyrics & The Top Notes, and "Nothing But The Truth" by Ann Hodge.  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
