Ok American Soul maybe the best drunk music ever... so in that spirit name your top soul/r&b tracks maybe 2-5 of them

here are a few of mine

Tammy Tate and the Nightingales ; Just a Little Overcome

Otis R : Try a Little Tenderness

OJays : Backstabbers

Harold Melvin : Don't Leave Me This Way

I love the 7 minute version of Ain't No Sunshine by The Temptations from Solid Rock, this one:

I would also recommend listening to the entire Dap Tones record label (yes, really, though you should probably start out with the various artists compilation [surely compilations by now?]), as that would definitely be up your alley.

Sam Cooke - Mean Old World

Baby Huey - A Change is Gonna Come

Otis Redding - I've Been Loving You Too Long

Stevie Wonder - You and I

Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine

James Carr - Pouring Water on a Drowning Man

Al Green - How Can You Mend a Broken Heart

Etta James - I'd Rather Go Blind

Aretha Franklin - Baby Baby Baby

Curtis Mayfield- Move on Up

Marvin Gaye- If I Should Die Tonight

Bobby Hebb - Sunny

Obviously Soul, Blues, R&B, and some Funk all overlap quite a bit.

A Change is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke, George Benson did a nice cover in the late 1970’s

Unchained Melody – Righteous Brothers

You Are Everything and Everything is You – The Stylistics

Have You Seen Her – Chi-Lites

One of a Kind Lover Affair – The Spinners

You Can’t Change That – Ray Parker Jr (Not quite a classic like the others, I just like it)

Nice topic, it was a nice trip down memory lane trying to come up w/ these.

I prefer to lurk and I am not very old (1988!) but here it goes:

1. Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up (Always go for the long version!)

2. Lyn Collins - Think (About It)

3. Yvonne Fair - Say Yeah Yeah

4. James Brown & The JB's - It's A New Day (Being partial to JB this was a though choice.)

5. Joe Tex - You're Right Ray Charles

6. ...(Should be a Ray Charles track of choice...)
