      I need to know.  What are some of your favorite dance floor fillers of the Soul variety?

      Ooops, I meant SOUL CHARGE !!! "Go go power" by Sugar Pie deSanto seems a good bet too. As well as "Tell mama" by Etta James of course !

      links are still good on there-I'd recommend the Megaupload option.

      DO NOT CLICK THE BIG "DOWNLOAD" BUTTON ON SHARBEE!!!! many tears might follow if you don't have decent antivirus protection.

      Well, that's not a legitimate release. That's an old GaragePunk.com Forum Comp (not a physical CD)! There were hundreds of those. I have a bunch, but not that one (and I don't think the download is valid anymore, either). Did anyone grab that from Mikael when it was originally offered? For some reason I missed it...

      That is a great list. Basically, look for the original versions of all the songs the Detroit Cobras cover, and you're off to a good start.

      Also, one of my favorite albums of modern soul would have to be the Now Time Delegation's LP (featuring the vocals of Lisa Kekaula of the BellRays). Black Joe Lewis is good, too (and he's playing in St. Louis next week). The screamin' Soul Preacher said:

      I wonder if "Doin' the Banana Split" counts seeing as it was one of those that Barry White wrote before becoming an artist.

      Yes! "Big Bird" by Eddie Floyd is pretty much perfection.

      Now I know it's not the first thing you think of when someone says "soul", but I consider it soul... The entire Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels "Breakout" album. First record I ever bought, and I put it on at EVERY party. Makes me wanna DANCE!

      check out the entire "Eccentric Soul" compilations, i think there are about 11 discs. I would start with the Capsoul label disc, given a choice.
