This mix starts with a track that I had a hard time placing in the soul category. It is actually 60's French pop penned by the infamous Whitney harasser and pop legend himself, Serge Gainsbourg. The track is sung by France Gall
Aww look, he's teaching her how to use a Tommy Gun, see kids that's how you woo a lady. I bow to you Serge.
An english cover version by April March was featured in Grindhouse by Tarantino. It has some soul sensibilities for example the horns and the rhythm section. The music would be perfectly at home backing up a girl group from the States, who really cares though? It's a good song whatever category you put it in. Check it out below.
People could argue with the second song as well but my definition of soul is not very rigid...also I have no standards. From there it goes into Menahan street Band, Curtis, Aretha, James, William Bell's- I Forgot To Be Your Lover, which deserves it's own write up. Stuff like that.
