Thunder and lightning keeping London awake last night so lets kick up a blurry eyed Soul storm of our own... its Soul Niceness 95!

We have the usual mix of familiar nuggets and hard to find dug up grooves. We start on a seriously funky 1978 instrumental from Instant Funk , there's a Shalamar favourite, Eddie Robinson uplifts us, a slow boiler from Slave, a nice little LP track from Fat Larry, and we top it off with Side Effects take on the Crusaders classic (although they both came out the same year -'76) plus more!

Hope its hot where you are. SoulnRnB up a few days... catch u soon!
