#0013 – File under: Motown Soul

Rain Delay. Actually, a weekend with mild temperatures and low humidity forced everyone out of the house and in a festive mood, which is reflected by this very tight mix of some of my favorte h-d-h soul tunes (that’s holland-dozier-holland). We got The Isley Brothers, The Jackson 5, Sly & the Family Stone, Sam Cooke, The Four Tops, Edwin Starr, The Temptations, Wilson Pickett, Bill Withers, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, Lamont Dozier (who helped write over half the songs in this mix), Barrett Strong, Solomon Burke and Otis Redding. If this mix won’t make you happy — nothing will.
