    I've been addicted to youtube lately lookin at great vids of the kings & queens of Soul which gave me the itch to catch them all live before they croak it..

    My 2006 hitlist:
    James Brown (again) - have tix for liverpool in july, fook that oxygen lark :mad:
    Gladys Knight - have tix for july in manchester ;)
    Aretha Franklin - wont tour cos she has fear of flying :(
    Patti Labelle
    Stevie Wonder
    Prince
    Christina Aguilera :o
    Bill Withers - where is he???
    Al Green - last year @ Vicar St was dodgy gig his voice was gone :rolleyes:

    Looks like myself hasn´t been to keen on going to Soul gigs in years and yeras and years. I went to almost 135 gigs (www.concert-reviews.net) but can only name Prince as a soul artist that I have seen live. :o

    Are you a woman? If so will you marry me? :D
    If not, are you a DJ, and where is your next gig? :cool:

    James Brown.
    Marva Whitney.
    Ann Sexton.
    Roy Ayers.
    Al Green.
    Was supposed to see Leroy Hutson but he cancelled.

    Have to try and get Bill Withers to Ireland sometime soon. Get the appreciation he deserves so badly.

    I can now add Marva Whitney, Spanky Wilson and Nicole Willis to my list.

    Off to see George Clinton again tonight.

    And Isaac Hayes and Booker T soon, as well.

    Rumour is that Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings might be visiting us - now that would be a hell of a show.

    PS @ Oink - your answers are no and no unfortunately ;)
