The Dude Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I don't what ever inspired me to start a Soul/motown radio station on Pandora. But as I listen there are several artist that I have learned to enjoy. Such as Etta James, Ray Charles, James Brown, Otis Redding. I was going to try and make it to a record store this early afternoon as I go downtown. Anything I should look for, I know when I usually go down to one store they are usually out of a lot of those artist so maybe I will just get what ever. But is there some other artist I should look for. I should say I am really starting to like power full vocals and power full horns, such as trumpets and trombones.

There is just something about the old Motown stuff that sure sounds great and makes you feel great. Just have fun looking for records and see what you find. It sound like it will be a fun day to pickup some vitage recordings and have a afternoon of good listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 The record stores suck, I guess I will have to keep a eye out at garage sells, and goodwill. Alls the record stores seem to have are new records, at high dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang guy Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I absolutely love "At Last". It was indeed a sad day when Etta was taken from the world. There have been some very nice suggestions. Personally, I would like to suggest some more 50's music. Billy Ward and the Dominos Dee Clark Old blue eyes himself Mario Lanza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
