I've been really starting to like, no LOVE, 60's soul music. I think it all started with Duffy and I know she's not from the 60's but that's her style of music. So anyway I'm really getting addicted to this stuff. Don't even ask me how I got around without listening to this kind of music. If ANYONE has some suggestions on some good artists or songs PLEASE tell me, it would be much appreciated!

I recently name-checked the raunchy but under-appreciated Millie Jackson. Also, it may be of interest to you to check out the new Mavis Staples collaboration with Ry Cooder. Powerful, moving stuff. BerkeleyBob

No more Blur, right? ;p Soz, I'm not a soul guy, but wikipedia.org is our frien. If you haven't checked it yet, here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_soul_musicians. (It's not 60's only - that's the best i can do for ya.)
