Winding down with the above 3 CD compilation. It is stacked full of classic soulful gooeyness.

Nice. You've just reminded me that I used to be quite fond of a bit of soul music, but I haven't really listened to any for a very long time, apart from the odd track that pops up every now and then. In fact, back in the day, I was a bit of a fan of a DJ called Buster Brooker on Radio Orwell who, if memory serves, had a show called the Soul Sessions which I always listened to on my trusty Akai tuner. It feels like this was another lifetime ago, back in the late 80's early 90's when I lived near Ipswich. Anyhoo, it seems that Mr Brooker turned out to be a bit of a bad man, Google him, you'll soon see

I listen a lot to 'Solar Radio', which is channel 0129 on the Sky box. They play a lot of classic and rare Soul, Funk, Jazz and Northern Soul. I like many other genres, but Soul/Jazz Funk is usually my 'go to' music. The heavier stuff I need to be in the mood to appreciate it. www.solarradio.com/

Unfortunately I don't have a Sky box, Freeview only for me, I might be able to find them on TuneIn on tinters? I'll give it a go, thanks pp.
Terrible shame about Aretha Franklin isn't it, I heard last week that she was in failing health but the family were hopeful she'd recover. I've heard a lot of her work recently, unsurprisingly, such an incredible voice.

Amazing talent indeed and a long-lasting one. Pity I have very little of her work in my collection.

Not only was Aretha a great Soul singer but an icon and influence for most genres.
