Here's a mix I compiled, after a lot of digging, of some of the best 60's soul tracks ever put on wax (maybe one or two early 70's tracks). These gems have sadly been forgotten by most, but this music should be heard by everyone, it's timeless and these songs truly make you feel something, unlike most other popular music. If anyone out there actually finds this mix and listens to it and wants more, let me know, because I've got about 8 more volumes worth of tracks just as good as these, if not better. And if anyone can help me, I'm very interested in releasing this as an official compilation album someday but don't have the funds or knowledge to accomplish this by myself. enjoy and thanks for listening
