I grew up attracted to soulful voices, but I think I’ve matured into understanding that what’s even better is discovering soul in instrumentation- the chord choices, nuances, pace all create this groove that’s just undeniable...

[@dustbunnys]

The harmony is soooo good.

[@cleech74]

Just found this, and I really dig it. Grew up in a house where music way always on. Listened to a lot of radio, and my folks grew up listening to various types of music, and Stax & Motown were staples. I have varied musical tastes myself, and played saxophone & guitar when I was growing up. I find myself gravitating towards this type of music more & more, as it just hits me differently that a lot of other music I listen to regularly. I can add this group to that list, and will share with those in my friends & family who have common interests.🙂

[@sweetgingerplum7468]

Yasss, Oooh another 🔥🔥🔥🔥one!!! This song gives me an attitude and got me dancing with high heels on, in the kitchen, while making Ramen noodles & hot dogs
