Bill Withers - Use Me... Soul the way it should be
via youtube.com
You may know Bill Withers from Lean On Me or Ain't No Sunshine, but he grooved with so much soul in a whole bunch of songs. I love 70's Soul and Funk, but I love it even more when done with organic instruments that really allow for a physicality to the tune instead of today's synth action.

Two Wicked Versions of an Urban Soul Classic
Two fantastic versions of Gil Scott-Heron's "Home is Where the Hatred Is". The first by the man himself, and the second by the amazing Esther Phillips. Heron just sounds plain pissed off. Phillips evokes a sound of mournful regret. I love both of them.

An "Obscure 80's Memory" Song
The Normal - Warm Leatherette
I would post the lyrics, but if you can read the title, you've got most of it.
I can't believe how many underground dances I went to where this became an synthanthem. It was actually recorded in 1978, but I definitely was nowhere near cool enough to hear it until a couple of years after.
