some more toyin agbetu in his nemisis guise which was more of a house-leaning thing than soul connection:

Thanks@Nick B
The Street Soul scene is similar to the Northern Soul Scene in that it was pretty low key at the time but has since had many revivals and grows in popularity. My Mum used to talk about the Northern Soul scene and I'm glad I was around when street soul was peaking. The blues dances and pirates back then were something else. Never really appreciated them fully at the time as with most things but now can look back and see how special it was.

Nice work - thank you! Randomly listening to the Love & Laughter track, sounds good

I had the reggae version of that tune on a complilation but was searching for the soul version for years until I realized it was on the B side and got it for pennies..That epitomizes Street Soul for me...it was usually the B sides or the different mixes to the popular ones that got played.
― MrEnergizer, Saturday, 1 February 2020 00:19 (four years ago) link
That Linda Dawn version is nice....I heard it on DJ Swings show a while back..if you haven't heard it yet then tune in Sunday night 8-11pm on tunein https://tunein.com/radio/Legacy-901-FM-s252429/One of Manchester's finest DJs playing a selection of tune old & new that you don't hear everyday..and sometimes never!

The thing with Broadway was that you could hear all those new underground mixes/tunes and then they'd drop a classic like this..Sylvia Striplin - You Can't Turn Me Awayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om4cMbFTDvk
or this...BENNY GOLSON I'M ALWAYS DANCING TO THE MUSIChttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPo3ZFOmxxI
That's why Broadway were the best sound for me...they introduced me to a lot of music. For me that's what being a good DJ/Sound is all about...the music should take first place. When you have a passion for the music then boundaries get broken.Ha..I'll stop wafflin now!!
