Today's SOUL Playlist

Welcome to our little Soul Groovin' cafe' arclight73, that is a fine entry so we know you'll fit in nicely. He has a smooth voice.

Ahhh the KT Soul Man stopped by also with some Soul goodness.
Mighty fine stuff there my friend.

Thanks for the welcome. I will see what else I can manage. I'm typically in the Jazz thread but need a break from time to time.
 
Nice System, Arclight73.

I'm putting together something similar to this for my bedroom.

It will be based around an NAD 3140 Dual-Mono Integrated Amplifier (IMO -- Best Integrated NAD has EVER produced -- THANKS STEVE.... I'M FOREVER INDEBTED TO YOU).'
Also coming later this year will be Sennheiser HD-598 Headphones in Cream and Mahogany, a BlueSound NODE 2 Music Player (NAD's Music Player.... it should make beautiful music with the NAD 3140), and a Turntable with Magnetic Cartridge (a Pioneer or a Technics with LA Sound Phono Cartridge -- a $100.00 Phono Cartridge that's VERY musical and should give a $300.00 Cartridge a SERIOUS run for its money. NOW.... will it challenge my $550.00 Sumiko BPS EVO III is another matter entirely).

But I like your system too.

Welcome to the Café, and look forward to seeing what you'll be spinning right along with the rest of us.

Thank you. I'm a NAD fan as well. They make gear that's hard to justify an upgrade as they sound so good.
 
My Soulful grooves are played mainly on vintage McIntosh solid state, there's a MC 2505 and MX 114 in the house, which drive Dynaco A 25 speakers, I use a Technics SP-25 broadcast turntable with a Audio-Technica ATP 16-T tonearm, and presently use a Shure M75EJ under a private label. The other system has a MA 5100 integrated, drives a pair of Coral BX 70 speakers, and uses a Pioneer PL 530 with the same Shure in it's headshell.
 
You betcha, Charles & I know the fireworks were ablaze coming from that setup & tunes! :)

Let's welcome another new Soul groover to our little cafe' m_boone!
Yea, that's a classic indeed. I have "Rainbow 80" on a 45. Hope to see ya back in here with us addicts! :D

Spinning a few Soul Groovers on 45 and one's personal!

Joe Tex/ Ain't Gonna Bump No More With No Big Fat Woman (this is personal. One day in 1988, I had to share a Trailways seat with a 400 Pound big Black Fat Woman. My short left hit met her right. I was in pain by the time the bus went from Murfreesboro to Manchester, Tennessee. By the time I arrived in Knoxville, my hip was out of socket, I was frustrated and ticked after 200 slow miles to Knoxville, and mom and step dad picking me up to go to Oak Ridge, Tennessee and home. I had to put up with the same Big Fat Woman on the Sunday evening return trip. I was in pain for a solid week. And on that Saturday, I got treated to time away from Tennessee Rehabilitation Center in Smyrna and the Nashville recording studios and spending time at Masterfonics. I got treated to Supper at the Nashville Stockyard, and owned by Buddy Killen who produced this awesome Soul Groover 45, and he introduced me to a friendly Black guy, and it was no other than Joe Tex. Joe and I got on and he was a friend to the end.). Next time I went to Oak Ridge to see my folks, Joe had a limousine and often private planes to Knoxville. He treated me like his lost son. Buddy Killen never charged me for a meal to the end of my time there. I got the whole Dial 45 and LP catalogue for free. And lots of Nashville friends in the business. Amazing what hanging out in a Smyrna music store gets you, you meet Harlan Howard, and meet Owen Bradley and the Nashville elite, and get to ply your skills and hang out on sessions. And shown a great time!

Luther Ingram/ If Loving You Is Wrong (I Don't Want To Be Right)
Rose Royce/ Car Wash
Rose Royce/ I Want To Get Next To You

This post exposes a dimension of me you now learned. KT plays records, and knows how to cut fine records too. And has friends in Nashville from the last of the oldtimers. One 1986 Smyrna music store meetup paid dividends, and once befriended made me a person of respect and interest to the cause of good music.
