Loved Todd Haynes's Velvet Underground documentary - not often acknowledged just how funky they could be:

Fabbo set of suggestions, thanks, thinking of all the upset on the ED part of this forum:

And seeing the demo at Court Lane junction today - wish I had been there (Rock Against Racism at Victoria Park)

From deep within the soul vaults, a perfect track for Going Home For The weekend, Burn rubber on me, by The Gap Band, taken from the LP Gap Band 3.

 

[malumbu]

Wow, I haven't heard that, or certainly danced to that, for decades. After the earworm, da da da, some respite!

[jazzer]

More from the Gap Band, taken from the LP Gap Band 8, Keep Holding On.

Going back to 1993, its time for a right banging tune, so here's Show me love by Robin S aka Robin Stone.

 

[jazzer]

And now getting seriously funky with Curtis Mayfield and Move on up.

 

[jazzer]

So as another weekend looms, we need some banging tunes for the ritual going home for the weekend.

From deep within the pile of tunes, to brighten up a very cold but sunny Friday morning, take a listen to this wonderous instrumental track my the late, great Marvin Gaye, "T plays it cool"(unedited)

Going two for two, and taken from the much under rated and stand out LP "In our lifetime" by Marvin Gaye, "Love party"

Bobby doing it with Ron Isley, what a track.

Bobby Womack and Ron Isley, Tryin' Not To Break Down

 

[jazzer]

So here we go with the second Bobby Womack track of the day, on a 7in, "Daylight" and going all the way back to 1975, 46 years ago when I was just 15, and many, many moons ago.

Glad someone else also listens to Dave Onetone (soulcentralradio.co.uk) on a Saturday and Sunday.

Incognito - "Always There", featuring the haunting vocals of Jocelyn Brown.

Going all the way back to 1977, here is the superb Paulette Reeves with "Jazz Freak" taken from the LP All about Love.

So the weekend is just around the corner and here we go with another, and the first of two for two "going home for the weekend" tracks;

"Everday" by Incognito
