Soul, Funk and Blues Music, Old and New

I was just watching a Motown special of PBS TV, and I was movin' and a groovin' in the kitchen, loving this good old soul music. We had the best soul and rock music in our generation for sure! :cool:

You beat me to it, was going to mention this show but am on my iPad right now, and copy & pasting links is tedious. All great artists, can't really pick an overall favorite group.
 
Grew up listening to the Motown sound. Loved it all, it was the best. At times, still will listen to it. Boy, it sure can transport you back in time.
 
I followed the Drifters throughout their careers. Front men Clyde McPhatter, Ben E. King, Bill Pinkney and of course, Charlie Thomas all had their own sounds, but no matter what, The Drifters were always soulful with a little R&B mixed in. Charlie Thomas lived here in my town of York, PA for a short time. He kept a very low profile and I never knew it until I saw a write-up about him in the Sunday paper many years ago. Out of all of the front men, I have to give the edge to Mr. King.

 
I was just on hold with the vets for awhile listening to this old song. Hubby was laughing at me because I was dancing around and really getting into it, lol. :)


 
Good Stuff, was then, still is. I was a big Janis Joplin fan, too. I still think of her everytime i hear "Me and Bobbie mcGee."
