Rest in Peace Dexter Wansel. Thank you. TSOP.

Bummer.. RIP Dexter


When you reach the place beyond thoughts, the only thing you'll find is love and the only purpose of life becomes to ease the suffering of others.

No. I would put Peabo Bryson in the top 5 vocalists ever. I have several of his albums from late 70's to mid/late 80's. RIP.

Peabo is certainly worthy of his own thread and I did consider it but as our soul circle here is so small I didn't.

Some wonderful song choices from Hayesboy, I nearly posted I'm So In To You.

An utterly pointless and disrespectful post.

RIP to both of these 5th dan Shaolin Monks of the Soul Dojo.

As for best male soul vocalist for me, it's a dead heat between Curtis Hairston and Frankie Beverly. Teddy P and Luther all time greats of course. Slave's's Steve Arrington had his own style which i loved to the kuiper belt and back. If it moves funk it.

It’s the Holy Trinity of Bobby Womack, Curtis Mayfield and Donny Hathaway for me with David Ruffin on the bench. Oh, and Marvin too . Steve Arrington lost me in the mid-80’s, I’m afraid, when he saw the light/went doolally (depending on your point of view). The Robbie Vincent reference took me back though, Disco!

Back in the day I bought the Black Echoes newspaper and when Robbie Vincent recommended something in there you took notice.

Radio Invicta, Bluebird Records, happy days.

Echoes is still going believe it or not. My mate edits it. He’s a Leeds supporter but apart from that he’s not a bad sort.

Dexter Wansel was due to play at a gig I was going to earlier this year but sadly he had to pull out due to ill health. There's still a huge soul scene and a lot of the 'legends' still appear at places like the Gt. Yarmouth Soul Weekend, Margate Soul Festival, Soul Disciples Weekender and various others that go on throughout the year.
