A slight detour from my intended post but since the passing of the great writer and producer Willie Mitchell a week or 2 back I've been having a bit of a Hi Records retrospective at home. Willie's Hi Record label (and house band- the Hi Rhythm Section) was responsible for that distinctive early 70's sound heard on tunes by artists such as Al Green, Ann Peebles and Syl Johnson.Here's a mix of some of my favorite quality tunes from that label during their golden 1970's period. Southern Soul at its best!

Cheers mate! Blimey, that was quick I only just pressed 'enter' LOL
"SOUL" with capital letters...my kinda music, and some version excursion as well. David Gold has obviously put some sort of smile on your face...and I don't mean his mags.....
Now if only the Hammers could put in this kind of performance every week.
Enough p*** taking. Thanks for all your hard work, as always.
Respect,

Cheers Eugene! The Bobby McClure tune is a deep soul stonker IMHO!
I'm hoping if the Hammers performances don't get better at least the half time entertainment will improve!
