What are you listening to in 2020 and WHY might anyone be interested?

Their first album, on Blue Thumb UK first press vinyl. Sounding fabulous - awesome performances from the backing band, especially Gaylord Birch on drums and Tom Salisbury on piano.

Doris Duke - I’m A Loser - on CD (orig from c.1969) - a new artiste to me.

What is called deep soul (from southern US) - resonant of Aretha. Very good and thanks to @keanoking who flagged above.

Regarded in parts as one of the finest deep soul albums. Recommended.

Hello @HappyListener. There are a series of 5 albums compiled by the late Dave Godin called Deep soul treasures. They are brilliant.

UK first press vinyl from 31 years ago (can it really be that long?)

I like their “let’s chuck everything in here, even the kitchen sink” approach, even if the lyrics are either ploddingly worthy or just plain cringeworthy.

UK vinyl from the 1980s. It’s a pretty decent album – not just “Play That Funky Music” and some filler:

The whole band at their very best Daltrey’s vocals are immense on this record.
