Proper long shot here... looking for any recommendations of rare or underground records of the above genres. I'm a beat digger and after looking through some of the gems recommended on similar threads I thought I'd give it a go. Any old school soul brother's or sisters out there? Funkier the better! Thanks in advance! |

"Hi Op
I love my funk and rare groove. I use too DJ in Birmingham and had several night where I played to a lot of the student crowd long before Craig Charles started. "
Aww quality! Maybe get back into it... I love anything like that! Know my jazz and blues and thought I knew disco but after visiting a few vinyl shops I've realised I know nothing. Been buying loads of kool and the gang, Isley brothers, get the benson etc because their less famous tunes are ace! |

"Labi siffre. Not well known but cool as hell. Sam and Dave, Booker T, Wilson Pickett. "
I actually know labi siffre from his ' I got the...' tune... shamefully I only know it cuz dr dre sampled it for: My name is by Eminem. Brilliant recommendation though! Exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for! Haven't heard much booker T so will make sure I check him out. Thanks again! |

‘It must be love’ was Labi’s song originally and then covered by Madness. |

No way! I knew they did a lot of covers but loving the labi original. Got a ukalale at the start.
Love stuff like this! Like heard Keith Richards wrote purple haze but his gf stole it and gave it to jimi Hendrix. After Keith heard what Joni did with it he was let him have it as his own. Think bob Dillon said the same with all along the watchtower |

One of the best threads in ages but a tricky one to respond to.
Do you mean serious collector rare or rare because people no longer listen to it? It also depends on how back in the stack you want to get?

Massive fan of those genres. Could ramble on forever about the them.
For a soul track with a touch of jazz in the great vocals and arrangements, try Kathleen Emery’s version of Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child
It also has the most incredible drumming. 1968, I think.
Been collecting/crate-digging for many years. Happy to send longer lists/mixes to people. |

It's not your phone it's the site - hyperlinks don't work you have to copy/paste them into a browser.

First thanks for the songs, really like the blackbyrds and jimmy bo horne tunes!
I'm not looking for serious collector rare because I don't want to be paying loads for records. More rare as in people don't listen to it any more. Or maybe a few b sides to popular songs from popular artists. Even though I love the music, I primarily want vinyl for sampling. So at times I pay a lot of money for a 10 second vocal etc.
I know my music but when it comes to 60s - 80s music I'm not the most knowledgable because I wasn't born so trying to play catch up.
Thanks again |

Another great tune! Right going to get the ring! That's if you can forgive the Bob DYLAN mistake
I love a bit of Ska and having a good old skank. Reminds me of being a kid and my mom banging out the ska on vinyl. Great tune though. Definitely on the listen lists with a few other Prince Buster tunes |

Just listened to the Kathleen Emery tune and the beat is great! Really nice feel to it! Thanks! I would like to have a ramble sometime with someone like yourself. But yeah I also know how funny some crate diggeres get about giving up their finds so thanks for the recommendation |

The drums are extraordinary - glad you liked it. I don’t think it’s even sure who it is.
If anyone ever asks me what a tune is I always tell them - I’ve been grateful to others for doing that. Hate it when people are sniffy about doing that.
I’ll happily put together a list if you want. |

Discogs is great, costs me a fortune though!
Facebook group's are better for finding music imho. Mixesdb is useful for finding track lists for radio shows/dj mixes |

Yeah I'm one to spread the music trather than keep it to myself. Why I love the whole Northern Soul movement! Not only because people were so defiant about what they wanted to listen to. But the fact they were all looking for something fresh and rare to light up the dancefloors with.
Yeah I'd love to listen to any playlist or list of songs you have. |

My kind of music. I can’t help with suggestions.
I’m more commercially minded. I tend to get my vibes from radio shows or club nights and more often than not I know the song but not a clue who sings it but damn I can dance to it. I’m off to Funk and Soul club tonight. You can say what you want about Craigy boy but he knows how to make me dance all night. He plays some absolute corkers. |

There and to the left a bit |
Actually following on from my earlier post about old school ska - there are some great current ska bands around - try any of the following on YouTube etc
The Lee Thompson Ska Orchestra (a side project for the sax player out of Madness)
The Simmertones - a good mix of covers and originals - their ska versions of The Doctor Who theme tune and Doris Day's Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps are divine.
I'll leave you though with this:
Soul Growl - Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra

Love Craig Charles Funk & Soul - he often appears at the Madness weekender I go to and always fills the floor |

Chet Baker...his voice, his sound on the trumpet...and then you hear about his life!
Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson..Charlie Parker and Charles Mingus...happy Sunday evenings listening to Sounds of Jazz with Humphrey Lyttleton.
I had an unusual childhood |

I recently dragged my emo daughter to see Millie Manders and The Shut Up. She absolutely loved the vibe, the music and the skank. Nothing like ska to start the party. |

"Anyone familiar with the more recent generation of detroit DJs/producers such as Theo Parrish, Moodyman, Marcellus Pittman etc?
They play some fantastic records."
Yeah - Moodyman remix of Funkadelic’s Cosmic Sloop is a particular fave at the moment. |

Only know Millie Manders from the worm she has done with a charity project I help out with occasionally that releases albums of covers by unsigned bands of a different artist each year - it's ska based so has seen The Specials, The Beat, Madness, Bob Marley and a few others done over the years - this year they're doing Trojan

I have to say once again a great thread with good topic, and people kicking back and being nice and helpful.
Respect for collecting vinyl.
Musically I like everything that has good harmonies and rhythm. For the purposes of this conversation everything from Louis's Hot 5 via Bix, to the crooners, to straight ahead to Big Band, to bebop to afrobop, jazz rock and jazz funk to smooth and back to Jazz Roots.
To give information some of the big bands jumped on the funk thing so if you like your funk jazzy check out some of Buddy Rich's work or this one from Woody Herman
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zEDN9ZfmfDo
A disco favourite from my older brother and still a rare groove favourite from Mr Manu Dibango and the court held MJ had not copied it!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EF92yOsv3Y8
A well known band but not many listen to their earlier work the Commodore get nasty!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bLr5cL0eG2w
I am away from home for a bit but will think of some funky soul later, but here is courtesy of Mr Tarantino The Coasters "Down Mexico Way"
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Kahp_kmOFzQ
A mention of Joe Battaan requires the soulful "Ordinary Guy" a song that still resonates and is a great summer song!

"Now I’ve been bouncing around listening to songs and ended up in ska and this old gem. Still makes me laugh.
Ten Commandments - Prince Buster
https://youtu.be/df5eGlr3WsM
Another great tune! Right going to get the ring! That's if you can forgive the Bob DYLAN mistake
I love a bit of Ska and having a good old skank. Reminds me of being a kid and my mom banging out the ska on vinyl. Great tune though. Definitely on the listen lists with a few other Prince Buster tunes
Does this make me a fiancée?"
It does indeed. With our music taste what could possibly go wrong. DJ at the wedding better be sharp though. No ABBA thanks you very much |

"Love Jazz Flute such as Bobbi Humphrey , Herbie Hancock not the commercial stuff , Don Blackman early Luther and checkout early Prince as well all good stuff
Ooh. Bobby Humphrey - Harlem River Drive
Killer Bass line/groove
I get lost in that tune
know the feeling
My all-time favourite Latin-funk tune. Absolute belter:
Joe Bataan - Latin Strut
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ebqpghcbxUk"
Yeah love this tune! Randomly stumbled across it at a Latin funk night in Brum. Thank the lord for Shazam!
More recent and maybe a tad bit Bossa Nova but still South America so kinda the same vibe. Guy's name is Toco

I like Craig Charles but I used to live in Manchester and still remember the days when he would be off his face while playing. Good song selection but a terrible dj |

Thanks a lot man! Just bookmarked these up to have a proper listen throughout the day. Just started with the Woody Herman tune and it sounds like something out of a 70s sitcom or cop show. Can imagine people sliding across bonnets to this.
Great suggestions though cheers! |

Ha! Nice!
But think you're right, no nastiness either! Must be the music, keeps everyone cool.
Love Sam & Dave! I know it's one of their more commercial songs but Hold on I'm coming is a fave of mine |

I love Stax, especially Isaac Hayes. One of my favourite record covers is him bald headed in a gold vest. Despite Shaft I always think of him singing ballads.
But here he is in funky mode
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HANi8VjzIdQ
Although on Stax I love the Staples Singers especially this classic

Yeah I like a bit of Isaac Hayes. Bought the Truck Turner soundtrack of his and it's ace! Some great tunes on there!
Second tune is nice. Gonna have to take a loan out with all these songs I'm gonna be buying
