Show #45: A pretty wide-open show this week - it opens up with some movin' northern soul (with that stomping Edwin Starr track!), moves to some Caribbean sounds, then a touch of Brazil and Donny Hathaway. I've always had a soft spot for soul from the West Indies, and the track from the Mustangs (from the Bahamas) fits the bill perfectly. After that there's some very funky Brazillian music - check out Gerson King's James Brown impressions - and the incomperable Donny Hathaway. The second half of the show is dominated by the amazing Fela track 'Go Slow' from 1975, and the show closes on some Brazillian umbanda music.
