A wonderful piece of crossover soul!

Skip Jackson & the Shantons ‘I’m Onto You Girl’. One of the best crossover dancers ever! A perfect piece of early 70’s male group soul. Widely known among collectors and dj’s, but i only recently managed to secure a copy after a long time on my wants list. The b-side is just as good. ‘Promise that You’ll Wait’ floats on in perfect sweet soul tempo and Skip sings of heartbreak as letters from his girl back home never arrive to his godforsaken battlefield in Vietnam.

Nu Soul selection!

A selection of favourite tracks from the 90's and 00's, Nu Soul, r&b, Neo Soul or just simply- SOUL. The 70's may have been the artistic peak in soul music in my opinion, but great music is still being made today.
