Soul, Rare Soul, northern soul. Christian Böhning
Six Shades of Soul

“Hey Chris, we’re thinking about going to one of those Rare Soul soulnighters or weekenders you’re always talking about - but what kind of music will we hear there? Is it good? Can we dance to it?”

This is how sometimes friends ask me when I talk about my favorite music. So I decided to put together a “quick mix” with 6 different styles of soul (4 tunes from each) that are usually played at those events.
You’re gonna hear some classics from:

NORTHERN SOUL

1. Justin - Right Now
2. Larry Williams & Johnny Watson - Too late
3. Darrell Banks - Somebody somewhere need you
4. Joe Valentine - I lost the only love I ever had

CROSSOVER SOUL

1. Fantastics - Me and You
2. Jay and the Techniques - Dancing mood
3. Allison and Calvin Turner - What is this
4. Sonny Til - I gave it all up

MODERN SOUL

1. Las Vegas Connection - Running back to you
2. Flame'n'King & the Old Bones - Ho happy day
3. Pointer Sisters - Send him back
4. Skip Mahoney & The Casuals - Running away from love

FUNK

1. Melanie Burke & Jerry Mitchell - Sing a song of joy
2. Jimmy Bo Horne - Hey there Jim
3. Darondo Pulliam - How I got over
4. Beginning of the End - Come down Baby

LATIN SOUL

1. Village Callers - Evil ways
2. Coasters - Love potion number nine
3. Joe Bataan - Gypsy Woman
4. Rex Garvin - You don't need no help

R&B (real “raw” Rhythm & Blues)

1. Ted Taylor - Somebody's always trying
2. Mitty Collier - My babe
3. Louis Jordan - 65 Bars
4. Triumphs - Workin

Note: I left out “Motown” because I think that everybody knows this kind of music :-)
