A super huge hit for George – the record that took him from being a funky jazz guitarist into an R&B superstar!

T Neck/FTG, 1984. Used ... $4.99
One of Bloodstone's great groovers from later years – work that has a very different feel than the group's fragile harmony soul of the 70s, and which has them taking off into a much more confident sound!

BGP (UK), 2004. Used ... $7.99
Modern Memphis soul from the Bo-Keys – a group who play in the same spirit as classic acts from Stax and Hi Records!

Jewel/Paula, Early 70s. Used ... $5.99
By this point in his career, Charles has come a long way from his "Drifting Blues" hit of earlier years – but he's still one heck of a singer, and in a modern soul/blues format like this, it's interesting to hear him sound like singers like Mose Allison, on whom he had an undeniable ... read more CD

One of the stranger James Brown albums from the 60s!

Polydor, 1959. Used ... $9.99
Massive early work by James Brown – one of his first few albums for King, and a soulful delight that hits plenty hard all the way through! The sound here is razor-sharp – still very much in the R&B mode that Brown began in the 50s, but already showing this sense of edge and ... read more CD
