BEST SOUL BANDS OF ALL TIME

SOUL GROUPS that are 5-STAR!

5-STAR in all the right groovy ways.  Get down with the very best and these SOUL Groups are the very BEST.

And I am talking about the very best, the absolute BEST SOUL BANDS of all times.  I mean groups that took melody and music and blending them into wonderful ballads of romance and belly rubbing dancing.   These Bands are the ones that most likely helped put you on this earth because they spelled out one Theme and that Theme was LOVE.

Yes, Love like none have come close to mirroring today being played on the RADIOS.  No, these are the ones that put the harmony in sweet, slow motion and they blended ups and downs to put heartfelt love moves in your groove.  Yes, your groove thing and some of you kids have no Idea what I am even talking about.  But let’s take a peep at some of the greatest love makers of all times.  Let’s start with The Dells! 

The Mighty Dells

These songs will reach deep into you and you will be blessed with tunes that you never heard before and songs that are just as timely today as they were when they were originally recorded.  The Dells are straight into your heart with love and you will come away with nothing but love in your heart after you listen to one of their fine, outstanding album CDs.  As I began this Tribute Post to fine, amazing SOUL Groups, I started out listening to The Dells Ultimate Collection

Where Were You When I Needed You

And youngster, where can I take your yearning heart now?  I know, Yes, I know, Sweet Baby, that you’ve been so alone needing that good love music and that Cell Phone ain’t reached you yet.  And why is that? 

It’s simple, you just ain’t taken it from that ole man that was there and my best friend, James Hubbard, A New York City Native, who was there when Big Name Youngsters were just popping all around and bouncing in and out of the Apollo Theater where he heard the finest lay it down and with his help, I have come to lace it down for you. I know, he knows, we know, that no one come around to you sweetness and whispered into your ears the words that only a woman can appreciate. 

Yes, these are fine words that this fine SOUL Group put out and they can be yours too.  So, now, how about let’s take a peep at The Dramatics  

THE DRAMATICS

Nothing, I mean nothing brings out SOUL like the love songs from The Dramatics.  These fine tunes are sweet, gently love filled aromas that a woman will never forget and man, if you got a woman that you truly care for, then get her the tunes that she deserves to hear.  And when you slow belly-rubbing against your fine woman, then she’s gonna be so very satisfied that you put her in the real move for love and the songs by The Dramatics will put her there

As I wrote this Tribute, I was listening to Over 60 Minutes of Music The Best Of The Dramatics CD
