No not the Club Classics from Soul II Soul I'm afraid but rather some old time Soul classics from the 93 songs on the Soul 2 Soul playlist on the I-Pod. Ones that will pass the sands of time more than the Club bangers .
Is it proof you are wanting?
Look no further than Bettye Swann who is happy to Tell It Like It Is.
Sam Cook weighs in with A Change is Gonna Come,.First released in 1964 it is synonymous with the American Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. It is rightly preserved in the Library of Congress having been deemed culturally,historically or asthetically significant. It easily ticks all three boxes.
Isaac Hayes' song Shaft is certainly significant culturally as it was the theme song for the 1971 blacksploitation crime action film of the same name with Richard Roundtree playing the lead role of John Shaft.
Finally Gladys Knight & the Pips have had enough of California and are leaving on The Midnight Train to Georgia
Glorious stuff.
It's the State of the Union next and by god it is in a right old state at the moment.
