    Cool Soul/Motown Tracks That Everyone Should Hear !

    I think we should expand the thread on songs that everyone should hear to soul and motown

    Here is my first contribution

    Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!

     It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
    Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
    It's the strangest elation
    I can't describe it
    Oh it leaves a man weary
    It makes a man frown.    .............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

    What's The Cricket?
    Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
    And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
    Send me off forever but I ask you please

    Default Explaination

    For many years the BBC used Soul Limbo as the theme music to its coverage of cricket matches .....................So when ever it is heard in the UK it always is linked with Cricket !
