EPIC POST (ELSEWHERE)

I just landed on Soul Donuts for the first time a few days ago, and I've gone back a half dozen times since. It started with a hunt for Fela stuff. Now I'm just fuckin' lost. There's so much, it's overwhelming. Here's just a handful, from a Best of 2015 post. There's over thirty songs and about two dozen videos in all. And that's just one post.

The songs are varied in style and after sampling about half of them. two things seem evident. One is the real or imagined influence of the Daptone mob. There's more than a few sound-alikes. The other thing evident is that smooth seventies type soul is back, in a big way. Though it lacks the grit and grunts of the more ass shaking variety, it grows on you. I'm not a softy, but take it from me, Isaac Hayes and Marvin Gaye are gateways.
