An Evening With Mr. Jones

A flashback to the 1970's, an era of rebellion, adventure and outrageousness. The music was a mish mash of 60's rejects, 70's new blood, boys trying to be girls and girls trying to be boys. Fortunately, it was fun and it produced some great music. Much of this has been forgotten because we are embarrassed by the fashion but now it's time to cast off those shackles and celebrate our heritage.

This compilation is the result of a request. I was asked to cater for a Glam Rock Party and asked for some suggestions.

Blues & Soul Top 100

In 1984 Blues & Soul Magazine held a poll with their readers to determine what the best ever Soul & Dance songs were. Although the chart is now a quarter of a century out of date, I think most people with an interest in real Soul music would agree, not much here that needs changing?
