Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, & Bo Diddley —
Super Super Blues Band (colored vinyl pressing) ... LP Checker/Jackpot, 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $16.99 19.99
A group that definitely lives up to its name – given that the lineup features the Chess Records stalwarts Bo Diddley, Howlin Wolf, and Muddy Waters! The set's maybe a bit more in the mode of Wolf or Waters than some of Bo's own records – although there's a bit of that riffing spark of ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

A pair of ABC Records gems from Al Hudson & The Soul Partners – back to back on a single CD! Spreading Love is excellent early work from Al Hudson – a soulful talent who stood his own in the late 70s, forging an up-tempo funk sound that lived long past disco, and which was sort of ... read more CD

Malaco/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1988. New Copy ... $14.99
An under-discovered batch of jazzy soul from Bobbi Humphrey – an artist we love for her 70s work on Blue Note and Epic, still sounding pretty great here in the late 80s! The overall style of the album's a bit different than Bobbi's 70s work – more in a Patrice Rushen blend of 80s ... (Jazz, Soul) read more CD

A monster!

Willie's got a real Curtis Mayfield ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Willie Hutch —
Ode To My Lady ... LP Motown, 1975. Very Good- ... $3.99
An excellent soul album from the great Willie Hutch!

Closer To The Source ... LP Curtom, 1978. Very Good+ ... $19.99
Fantastic stuff – and one of the greatest albums ever by Chicago soul maestro Leroy Hutson!

Phyllis Hyman —
Loving You, Losing You – Classic Balladry Of Phyllis Hyman ... CD RCA, Late 70s/Early 80s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Above all else, Phyllis Hyman brought a level of class to soul music that few other artists could ever match in her day. And as the tracks on this set show, this classiness was best expressed in Phyllis' love songs and ballads, beautifully handled numbers that had at once an adult sensuality and a ... read more CD

PMG (Austria), 1978. New Copy ... $8.99
The debut album from Theadora Ifudu – a singer who hit greater fame on a bigger label a few years later – but who sounds pretty darn great here at the start!
