They are classics! A lot of my selection is easy listening soul. I'm a softie for this type of song. But they are all real good productions and the vocals are second to none. None of this synthesiser rubbish!Hmmm @nosher8355 - I particularly like no's 3, 15, 30 and 32
I hope you don't mind Mike, but today I've come up with ithers, which are too good to exclude :-
Otis Redding - Sitting on the dock of the bay
Alexander o'Neall - Criticize
and Hearsay
Al Green - Lets stay together
Carly Simon - Why
UB40- Where did I go wrong
Fleetwood Mac,- Thunder only happens when it's raining
Phil Collins - Another day in Paradise
The Bangles - Eternal Flame
and Be with you
RRB
