DJ Grizz- Soul Niceness Vol. 90

 
The latest Rare Groove and dug up 70's and 80's Soul music offering... its Soul Niceness Volume 90.

The groove fest begins with Maurice Jacksons original of the tune better known by Leroy Hutson, there's a track from Marvin Gayes slightly less commercial but most would say deeper and more profound late 70's period, we've a wicked little Philly stepper from McFadden and Whitehead, includes the big hit from Dennis Edwards and ends with a chill-out master-class from the LA Boppers.

Mr S will be up midweek after showing us his 'Butterfly collection' last week... I'll catch you next weekend!
