why would you classify those as modern soul?
K>
look... before you fucking kids get online and start throwing around terms and confusing young motherfuckers that dont know shit on this board about styles of music and genres of music LEARN THE FUCKING MUSIC FIRST... dont fucking pretend you know shit because youve been diggin it for 6 months and bought 50 records that came out in certain time period...
jesus christ... i fucking hate soulstrut most of the time at this point...
maybe im just cranky because i havent eaten any food yet today but seriously...
AM I WRONG? IS MARVIN GAYE CONSIDERED MODERN SOUL?
Al's been recording since the 60's (part of the Unifics) but yeah i like this one:

goodbye
This help

aw man. come on. drez is operating the request line over here.
im dedicating this one to you my friend.
for jinx
I want to thank you for turning me on to modern soul. the first modern soul record that i bought, was from you. it was this record...
and i say fuck genre's period. i hate that shit.
lame ass: so ahhh you're a dj? what do you spin?
ME: MUSIC. MOTHERFUCKER. GOOD FUCKIN' MUSIC
and why do we have another one of these threads? haven't we had like 12 already?
Why isn't it modern soul?
late 70's/ early 80's soul LP with all the contemporary sounds of the day and not too much of that 4 on the floor disco syncopated beat.
Everyone seems to have a different definition for this genre but I've made mine known several times. basically if its good late 70's early 80's soul music with some serious R&B vibes to it as opposed to disco I consider it modern soul.
honestly I don't but I feel that they are the forerunners to that sound. they were slick and mellow, but not in a bad way. Both their LP's from '74 are essential
I think you fast-tracked too fast through Slap BAss High.

noted...
I think its time I look through for some K in Canada moder soul recomendations
Best cover EVAR!
and is that the best Gap Band? it's the only one i have, so it better be the best cuz i aint buying any other ones
Chill out bro nothing to get mad about..i guess everybody has a different view on what they call modern soul..that Marvin Gaye record to me is an essential soul record period..not nescessery modern soul..i guess i put the picture up because i googled pictures of the Leon Ware Lp's and there was also this picture of the marvin record with the slick production of Leon Ware. fuck categories anyway.
peace.
no
I only got 3 Gap band LP's IV, II, and Magicians Holiday from 1974 on the Shelter label. Young P*trick, I'd recommend you look for the latter.
BECAUSE THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS MODERN SOUL!!!!

homework motherfuckers, shit is called doing homework. not just getting high, you gotta do homework. knowledge is power.
yeah, the term "modern soul" gets mangled on soulstrut, big deal, that doesn't mean the scene which named this style never happended. shit is real. collections exist. records which were once common are now fucking peace. why? because the mythical modern soul scene was playing them in the 80's when that sound actually was "modern" soul. captain crunch.
Tom,
I think ol' EdPowers was just doing a little of the kidding. Dude blasts modern soul mixes in the SUV while I pack bowls in the passenger seat. If this was 1982 best beleive J****l would be rocking the suit n' curl
also check soul45.org keb darge has (3) modern sets which are lethal. some corny northern sounding stuff, but mainly top shelf modern.
for boogie stuff (12s mainly), check out danceclassics.net ed's site in spain. some serious eddie smurphy stuff on that page, but quality does lurk there as well.
