SoulNRnB's Rare Groove Volume 5

Time for a trip back to the 70's & 80's and some Rare Groove.

Some real faves of mine here: Ross & Gaye duet-ting on one of the best songs ever written, "I'll keep a light in my window"; Some Blue Eyed Soul from Valerie Carter; Mizell Brothers x A Taste of Honey = "I love You".....plus Eloise Whitaker, a classic from Marva King and The Ebony's version of the great Average White band track "A Love of your Own".

Always makes me feel good selecting for thesee mixes, hope its as good listening to them.

Grizz back at the weekend, keep safe all!
