Here are s few tracks you might not have heard before which are great. Itunes preview unfortunately just doesn’t do some of them justice, either the preview is at the wrong part or it’s just too short.  The King Curtis song Memphis Soul Stew is amazing, there are a bunch of different versions but the one live at the Fillmore West is the best. There are two versions live but I included the best one in this Volume I – djnyc funk and soul gems Itunes playlist.

I’ve started putting together some playlists for great, lesser played soul songs spanning the 60s and 70s which I will post the first one tomorrow. Would like to add more music since there are so many photos on this blog.

But for now here’s Curtis…
