Lets start with the easy basics...here are a few GOOD well known artists and their hits.

Luthor Vandross - 'Never Too Much'



Marvin Gaye - 'Whats Going On / Whats Happening Brother'



Stevie Wonder - 'Ribbon In The Sky'



Little Richard - 'Tutti Frutti'



The Isley Brothers -'Shout' (No that bitch Lulu didnt do the original - she was the acceptable white face to sing it in the UK, just like Cilla Black was when she covered all of Dionne Warwick's songs)



The Temptations - 'Papa Was A Rolling Stone'



James Brown - 'Good Foot' (my hero!!!!!!!!)




OK these are by no means all the best artists but some of the most well known. i will be coming back to add to the collection....and NO, i havent forgotten about the Reggae artists!!

GET READY TO LEARN CYPRIOT SUCKERS!!!

Yeah Some good music there

have you tried this link

http://trojanrecords.net/index.php?l1=1#

there is a radio station on there (actually its more of a playlist which changes weekly)
I really p*ss em off at work with it (they dont understand)

I was brought up on roots reggae and still have a lot of the Trojan classics stored away

I've also been playing a bit of Hendrix recently (you know how sometimes you forget how good it was)

But my all time best , even above Bob Marley has got to be Toots and the Maytalls

It got that way around the late seventies.

I'm talking about the earlier stuff 68-74 era

The label was actually part of Island records and was developed in the UK to 'showcase' jamaican sounds to a wider audience

The label now seems to be concentrating on more modern bands but is also releasing a lot of the older stuff also

Got to say I like the motown sound also it was that which led me to try and discover more about black music

Oh go on and admit it Snake… you ain’t got the funk! You’re just a Soul boy lost in virtual reality…

Yeah, I wonder what happened to her... maybe she is the owner of the Charalambous milk factory today...

[the_snake_and_the_crane]

Yeah ive done some research on the history of reggae and yeah i think Chris Blackwell did buy the label to put under Island Records umbrella.

Anyway, here yo go Richard mate...special dedication to yoooooou!
