New expanded edition of There’s a Riot Goin’ On on Apple Music is fantastic. Stevie Wonder Innervisions is like a prog masterpiece of 70s soul if such a thing existed. Listened to it this morning after watching this video. Thanks Tom!
@@KW973 That’s a great way to put it regarding Innervisions. It is like a prog masterpiece of 70’s soul. Need to check out that expanded version of There’s A Riot Goin’ On. 😉
My favorite 70's Soul albums are Soul Train Hits that made it Happen, The soundtrack of Shaft by Issac Hayes, The Best of the Spinners and the Best of the Stylistics
That is a great list! Love all those albums. For me it would be... 10 - Nightbirds by Labelle 9 - The World Is A Ghetto by War 8 - Back Stabbers by The O'jays - 7 - Call Me by Al Green 6 - There's A Riot Going On by Sly Stone 5 - Super Fly by Curtis Mayfield 4 - Imagination by Gladys Knight 3 - 3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers 2 - Talking Book by Stevie Wonder 1 - What's Going On by Marvin Gaye. Cheers.
Stevie had such a magical run of albums in the 70s. Innervisions is probably my favorite. I have a CD copy (2 albums on 1 disc) What's Going On/Let's Get It On. Might not be available anymore. Also check out a band from New Orleans called The Meters. Album is called Look-Ka Py Py. Really funky. Great video and enjoy the holiday weekend
One of the most unusual, from 1971, was Gene McDaniels' Headless Heroes Of The Apocalypse. McDaniels takes a swipe at Mick Jagger, the Plymouth colonists, and God, with conspiracy theories, and the heartache of the Black experience. Allen Toussaint put out Life, Love & Faith, a stylish collection that could have made him a star out front, in addition to his credits behind the mixing board. Where I’m Coming, Stevie Wonder's 13th LP, released in 1971, plumbed the same themes as Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, but failed to connect with listeners. Still, it featured If You Really Loved Me, which got a lot of airplay. Prince Phillip Marshall issued his 1st solo LP, Make It Good, but the disc was lost in the shuffle of Disco vs Punk vs New Wave, leaving Marshall in the wake. Another good buy from 1971 was Curtis Mayfield's 2nd solo album, Roots, a topical collection that was lost in Mayfield's growing fame as Superfly. In 1972, Bettye Wright released the long-running, I Love the Way You Love, her first powerhouse single. The LP never got the attention it deserved. In 1972, well-liked songwriter Sam Dees released The Show Must Go On, an album that should have made a star of the powerful singer, but didn't. The Spinners came alive with their first album, in 1973, followed it up with Mighty Love, an album that fared better on the charts. The Ohio Players' Fire was the fifth from Dayton Soul-Funk group, and possibly their best. Soul gave way to Disco, and music drifted away from the "all types for all listeners" format that had ruled AM. FM-radio was more stratified, segregated into audience types, limiting exposure for those not inclined to investigate and experiment with their listening choices.
1.Let's Get It On (Marvin Gaye) 2.Caught Up (Millie Jackson) 3.IInnervisions (Stevie Wonder) 4.What's Going On (Marvin Gaye) 5.Feelin Bitchy (Millie Jackson) 6.Music Of My Mind (Stevie Wonder) 7.Still Caught Up (Millie Jackson) 8.The Detroit Spinners 9.Talking Book (Stevie Wonder) 10.Woman To Woman (Shirley Brown)
The Laura Nyro album is probably the first collaboration between major black and white artists in pop/ rock. Also, produced by Gamble and Huff in Philadelphia.
Marvin Gaye's 'save the children' lyric is likely to be have inspired by the same line in Save The Country (1969) by Laura Nyro. Nyro references Superfly on her brilliant jazz blues song I Am The Blues (1976) with Randy Brecker on trumpet.
So many great soul albums from the 70s. Just a few more that haven't been mentioned yet: Al Green - Let's Stay Together; Smokey Robinson - Where There's Smoke; The O'Jays - Ship Ahoy; Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul; The Spinners - Spinners; Earth, Wind & Fire - The Best of Volume 1; and The Temptations - All Directions
The world's best cover band, HSCC (the Hindley Street Country Club) out of Adelaide, Australia recently did a fabulous cover of War's Lowrider. All their covers are recorded live.
@@tomrobinson5776 Yep. Mate, check out their covers of More Than a Feeling, Sultans of Swing, Lowdown, Rosanna, Dreams by Fleetwood Mac, September by Earth Wind and Fire, My Sweet Lord, and so many more. Just superb. I prefer them to the originals.
Great selection! I would also add: "The Heat Is On" - Isley Brothers; "Average White Band (AWB)" - Average White Band; "Fresh" - Sly & the Family Stone (possibly better than "There's A Riot Goin' On"); "Kokomo" - Kokomo; "Ahh...The Name Is Bootsy, Baby!" - Bootsy's Rubber Band; "Ain't That a Bitch" - Johnny "Guitar" Watson; "One Nation Under A Groove" - Funkadelic; "Extension Of A Man" - Donny Hathaway; - "Body Heat" - Quincy Jones; "C'est Chic" - Chic.
Here's my list: 1. What's Going On - Marvin Gaye (1971). 2. The World is a Ghetto - War (1972). 3. That's the Way of the World - Earth Wind and Fire (1975). 4. Pieces of a Man - Gil Scott Heron (1971). 5. Silk Degrees - Boz Scaggs (1976). 6. Curtis - Curtis Mayfield (1970) 7. The Spinners - The Spinners (1973) 8. Superfly - Curtis Mayfield (1972). 9. Wild and Peaceful (1979) - Teena Marie. 10. Sly and the Family Stone Greatest Hits (1970).
Great Music by Fantastic Artist, Sly, Stevie and Marvin Albums! But for me! It was the Super Fly Album! was Curtis Mayfield at his Zenith! A Badass Movie with The Best Movie Soundtrack of all time! The Soundtrack made more money then the Movie! I don't think that has ever happened again! I bought Stevie's Key of Life Album the year my son was born and play it while I rocked him in a rocking chair with a bottle, Stevie used the hell of the Moog in that album, Saturn is a Fantastic Song! Marvin Gaye's What's going on album! Every track still stands up today and listening to Mercy Mercy Me & What's Going On, still makes me tear up thinking about the turbulent Late 60's & Early 70's, Vietnam, Civil Rights Protest and the Mother Earth Movement! Its all capsulated in those two songs! I thought we had all this shit worked out already! only to watch it playout again 50 years later! What the Fuck! Everybody needs to twist up some good shit! Play all those albums just as long as the last song is War Why can't we be Friends! And if these MAGA Morans want a civil war? Please refer to the last one and its outcome! The repressors though God was on their side too! Growing up in the 50's and watching the world change from The Nelson into The Mod Squad was a Trip! But the Music was just so Great! Created during times of upheaval & political pressure! But pressure produces dimonds! Maybe we'll find a Gem from thses pressured times?
This is the best decade for soul r+b and funk so many landmark albums to choose from a few of mine are the temptations masterpiece, all directions, solid rock and skies the limit, earth, wind and fire all n all, Stevie Wonder inner visions and Bobby Womack facts of life, home is where the heart is and roads of life and Curtis Mayfield Curtis, roots, superfly, back to the world and there's no place like America today these are a few of my favorites
George McCrae, his Rock Your Baby album from '73. It's described as proto disco, Memphis soul and funk. Title track brings back valuable childhood memories. The rest of the album is actually really good also. I like your picks😊
hitting it out of the park on your selections. PTSD on Stevie Wonder "Don't you worry 'bout a thing" - failed my 10th grade math final because that song was stuck in my head. One artist I discovered in the last 25 years that I never knew about was Betty Davis. Her album Nasty Gal is pure nasty-ass funk. Found it in a pawn shop. Bought it for the cover alone.
@@tomrobinson5776 Correctamundo Fonzie! If you're interested, send me a p.o. box or address and I'll send you a cd with stuff you might not have in your collection (but I'm guessing you probably will have 56%). It's just that 44% that might pleasantly surprise you.
Funkadelic--Standing on the Verge of Getting it On Al Green Explores Your Mind Prince--Dirty Mind Isaac Hayes--Shaft (Original Motion Picture Sound Track) Aretha Franklin--Young, Gifted, and Black
Congratulations and Huzzah. You are only the third person I've ever heard mention "It's Gonna Take a Miracle". Too bad that most of the world have no clue as to what they're missing.
Great list as always, Al Green's greatest hits is perfect. I think though there are two versions, not sure if it's just here in Australia but I prefer the one with the Bee Gees how can you can you mend a broken heart on it. My only quibble would be that it doesn't have the song rhymes.
Very good choice Tom ! But i think we can find a place here for a great female singer : Ann Peebles was in the 70's the ideal answer to Al Green on Hi Records. Original Funk Soul Sister : The best of Ann Peebles is a fantastic compilation !
If you haven't heard Curtis' first two solo records, Curtis and Roots, they're worth checking out, excellent records. In fact, there is an Original Album Series box set that has those two albums, a live set, and then Back to the World and Sweet Exorcist, both fine albums, especially the former. I like most of his output from the 70s actually, including the Short Eyes soundtrack, but early to mid 70s is his greatest period.
Hi, there's a problem for me with your videos, each time you talk about a record, and when I have it (often) I go and listen to it, so I miss the end of the video and I'm not letting any comment.... 😂 For this one, good choice as always, just come back on "New Releases and A Thrift Store Find" I bought the Bowie, could'nt find the Nyro. The "Rock 'n' Roll Star" made a strange effect on me, it's like a new Bowie album from 1973 and it stuck me in the 70's, I'm still in.... For the today video, number 1 & 2, Inervision and What's Going on, for the order it depends of the moon... Peace
Lots of great stuff there. Three other artists that might have been included are Aretha Franklin, Parliament/Funkadelic, and Earth, Wind & Fire. My Aretha choice would either be Spirit in the Dark or Young, Gifted & Black. For P-Funk, probably Mothership Connection. For Earth, Wind & Fire, Best Of, Volume 1. And probably The World Is a Ghetto would have been my choice for War.
@@otisdylan9532 Just recently picked up Aretha’s Amazing Grace album. Need to play that asap. Other than owning a compilation I need to explore more Earth Wind & Fire. Love their singles.
You've got most of my list....but I would add "Look Out For # 1"( 1976) and "Right On Time" ( 1977) by The Brothers Johnson; " A Quiet Storm" 1975 by Smokey Robinson ; "Who I Am" (1975) by David Ruffin.....Peace and Love, Terry Tutor
An incredible era for funk and soul. I would add Stevie Wonder Songs In The Key of Life, EW&F That’s The Way of The World, MJ Off The Wall, Smokey Robinson A Quiet Storm, Diana Ross The Boss, Teddy Pendergrass Life Is A Song Worth Singing. The list goes on.
Can't argue much with your choices, except I have always been tone-deaf to the delights of Stevie Wonder. I'm sure it's my own damn fault. But no Isaac Hayes? Funkadelic? Clarence Reid? That's a high bar. I really love War. I met Lee Oskar at a Big Mama Thornton show which she did not appear at. I think he was cruising for some man meat.
Got em all with the exception of the Nyro/Labelle which I will stream. Withers at Carnegie great and Sly yodeling on Riot kills me. Star Time needs to be cleaned up and re released. Great box but the sound! Meh! Would love to see you do one on the great music that has come out of Nawlins. Enjoy the channel

More funk than soul, but, "Tower of Power"! Any list of 70's is incomplete without this gem. IMO
