"This is what I've been listening to, how about you?" kind of thread.

Great idea - could be a sticky

I like mailing lists where you have a current listening list (5 tops) as a signature.

Ok, I'll see what I can come up with.

Incidentally, the title of this thread comes from the first James Brown single I ever bought. Well actually I bought Superbad at the same time, but Soul Power seemed more appropriate, and the first James Brown album I ever bought was called Soul Brother Number One. Amazing, in a thread about soul music, this is the first time I've mentioned the Godfather of Soul himself.

Know we need it Soul Power

You got to have it Soul Power

Know we want it Soul Power

Give it to me Soul Power

Or

One two three, hit it

Watch me, Watch me

I got it, watch me

I got it, heyyyyyyyy

I got something that makes me wanna shout

I got something that tells me what it's all about

I got Soul and I'm Superbad

Or even

Fellas I'm ready to get up and do my thing - go ahead, go ahead

I wanna get into it man, you know, like a, like a Sex Machine man

Movin' doin' it, you know - yeah yeah

Can I count it off - go ahead go ahead

One two three four

Get up uh get on up

Get up uh get on up

Stay on the scene, get on up

Like a Sex Machine, get on up

Stay on the scene get on up

Like a Sex Machine get on up

They don't write them like that any more
