Obscure funk and R&B, deep soul and wacky jazz has taken up a good portion of my listening time for the last two weeks, spurred on by the discovery of a old hard drive filled with music that was mostly new to me. Not all of it was new and a good chunk of it wasn't very good. But I've been having fun with it, especially when gems like Jimmy Lewis, Gloria Jones and Spanky Wilson pop up.
Maybe you'll have some fun with this mix. Some of these tracks are from those CDs I mentioned in the Jimmy Lewis post. Others are recent discoveries. A few are faves of mine that I may or may not have shared before.
I think they sound good altogether.

"How Much Longer Must I Wait?" I've been saying that for years. Have a funky weekend!
Looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for this mix and all you do Sal - we Burnin' Wooders appreciate you!
Looks great, Sal! Thanks.
Heading off for a week's vacation. This will be good to come home to. Many thanks.
Great stuff! thanks Sal
Looking forward to this. Thank you very much. Spanky Wilson, Yeah!
Can't wait to dive in. You have provided over the years some wonderful soul singles (Cookie and the Cupcakes anyone) rarer than rare.
Great soul mix!

I remember when Cold Duck went head to head with Boone's Farm! Thanks, Sal!
Sounds like Gorgeous George got relationship counseling from Ike Turner! Yow!
Oh man, listening to this now and it's great - and dude, "Lulu Was That You" - Cal Wayman .... is the funniest song I've heard in a long time.
