Arthur Conley / Sweet Soul Music

If you're going to post Stevie you're going to undermine me completely. I'll just come apart at the seams. This one especially. I don't really do that whole 'soundtrack to my life' thing with music. I know that's how it works for lots of people but not for me. But if anyone provided any kind of soundtrack to any part of my life, it's Stevie and this would be one of the songs.
OK, will prob have to get back to you on this but my taste in music could be described as eclectic but that seems normal to me. I always get confused when I'm reading an interview with a musician and the journalist congratulates them on their wide ranging musical taste as if it's something weird or unusual. Isn't it normal, if you're into music, to like lots of different stuff?@zinniabooklover
I really can’t grasp your music taste, in one post you are all about rock and punk and in the next you are going crazy over old soul and funk. I would love it if you recommended some of your favorite soul/funk songs because your taste in this department is fantastic. That Arthur Conley song you posted above is fantastic!
I need to pay a bit more attention to some old soul. Cos I've been listening to J5/Jacksons and watching J5 live in Mexico and it has reminded me of the horn sections on a lot of those old songs. I'd kind of forgotten how much I loved that. It made me think about the JB's or the Famous Flames. Or those horn sections on the Tamla songs. Me? I'm all about the rhythm section but you can't beat a good horn section.@zinniabooklover
Don’t get me wrong I like a lot of genres too but it is always in phases with me. I can be into jazz for months and then ignore it for months. In my twenties I knew Bob Dylan’s discography back and forth, now I can’t remember the last time I heard one of his songs. These days i’m all into the good old soul and funk, love a lot of what you named in your post!
The only genres I never felt were punk and hip/hop or rap
Yeah, I listened to his HN cover. I'm in the 'sounds like elevator muzak' camp. I gave it a few goes but, nah, not gonna work. But I will check out some of this other stuff.@zinniabooklover
Miles really wanted to become as big as rock musicians, he wanted to score hits with jazz so he started experimenting with funk and rock in his jazz compisitions. It sounds wild but definitely not something the radio would ever pick up. He later covered human nature btw
Yeah his 80s output in all wrong lol. It is wild and eclectic in the 70s. His discography and albums are overwhelmingly big though, very hard to get into. I personally like Coltrane more but Davis was a true innovator.Yeah, I listened to his HN cover. I'm in the 'sounds like elevator muzak' camp. I gave it a few goes but, nah, not gonna work.

Oh man, The Monkees! The original boy band. I actually wasn't that big of a fan cos I didn't like Davy Jones' voice and he got most of the lead vocals. I *loved* Mickey Dolenz. A Little Bit Me A Little Bit You is my absolute fave and I'm A Believer is really fab, as well. I thought Mickey Dolenz was cooler than cool although when I look back now, I'm like, 'oh well, I was only a kid'.I have somewhat of an eclectic mix as well, my mom loved a bunch of these artists, especially The Monkees
Oh I know lol, but I found them to be entertaining and Mickey was a cool cat lol the show was cute too!Oh man, The Monkees! The original boy band.

Forgot to say, I know! I can see that from the stuff you post. I'm really bad at remembering to 'like' stuff. The other day / week you posted Sultans of Swing. Awesome!I have somewhat of an eclectic mix as well
There's so much to like lol! But yes I figured you'd like that one too, at times I've had it stuck in my head, let alone would be a good track to drive to lol.Forgot to say, I know!

Yessssssss!!!!!!!!!!Oh I know lol, but I found them to be entertaining and Mickey was a cool cat lol the show was cute too!
Sultans of Swing, that guitar! You can't argue with that. It's the business. I'm not huge into Dire Straits, tbh. Not loud or heavy enough for me. But it doesn't matter. When a band drops a classic like that their work is DONE.There's so much to like lol! But yes I figured you'd like that one too, at times I've had it stuck in my head, let alone would be a good track to drive to lol.
That's very true, I mean there's only a few little tracks I like, but when there's a specific beat, bass line or whatnot it will stick. Yes' ma'am!Sultans of Swing, that guitar!

Forgot to say, did you check out the Bob Dylan Center, Tulsa online? I think it looks awesome.In my twenties I knew Bob Dylan’s discography back and forth, now I can’t remember the last time I heard one of his songs.
The bass line. It'll get me every time.That's very true, I mean there's only a few little tracks I like, but when there's a specific beat, bass line or whatnot it will stick. Yes' ma'am!
