Hello @GalDriver Thanks for sharing I do actually have a massive CD collection of Motown Stax and Soul.
Northern Soul play a lot. Nothing like to get a foot stomper start to the day .
Yes like Jazz Swing the old songs.
Motown is a vast spectrum of talent black yes but many white performers did cut some sides.
Have the following favourites some of these these are not well known but are in Northern Clubs Soul nights many a time play these.
Something to look for. AMAZON sell a lot of these and worth the time purchased because Motown have opened the vaults at last once in a life time to get these.
The list of following.
Think It Over Before You Break My Heart Brenda Holloway
Baby a Go Go Barbara Mcnair
Heaven Must Have Sent You Elgin's
Two Can Have A Party Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye
There's A Ghost In My House R Dean Taylor
Back Street Edwin Starr
You Can Do It Kim Weston
Crying In the Night The Monitors
Get Ready The Temptations
Aint too Proud Too Beg The Temptations
What More Can A Boy Ask For The Spinners
Just A little Misunderstanding The Contours
Somethings Wrong Chris Clark
Can't Hold The Feeling Back Brenda Holloway
I'v Got To Get Away Tommy Good
Head Over Heels In Love With You Spinners.
Just a small list lol..
Seems lately lots of new CD's out there. Motown opening vaults for publications and issues worth looking.
Got a lot of the early history of Motown before it all began seriously.
If you are a collector a fan something to think about.
I have found out many new CD's to me .
Keep the Faith best wishes.

Hello @Chloe_Scope Good to hear thank you my friend.
With this COVID 19 decide every morning to play CD's up beat joyful and great toe tapping stuff.
Today Jazz and the old stuff Benny Goodman on now gets you dancing, strange looks from the neighbours who cares.
Got a bought a lot of CD's that under fiver each Amazon all Jazz Soul and the old songs from Singers probably you never heard of but are memories to me.
Lots of the songs were songs written masterpieces, so great to listen to.
We need music therapy, I do believe helps.
In some charities mental health ones bring in musicians who perform for great songs, some times get classical ladies or gents. With violins and cellos etc.
Of course this helps a lot.
Please take care talk later no doubt sometime this week.

Hello @Adrian_Scope All this morning right now have been playing lots of the old songs. Songs we know are masterpieces of writing and skill.
Word for words treasures.
I have a CD player use the programme button edit a lot seems to be helping to day .
Just in my memory and sync as it sorts pass a few hours of happiness while talking being here to our members and team.
What do you play ? Meant to ask while a the laptop or key board or your wired for sound.?
Is that the correct terminology ?
Are you allowed music on are is that a rule no music on, ? Worked in a place had music on all day my music now lovely relaxing.
Then some one bought in one of those hypnosis tapes for fun falling asleep sounds of whales or sounds of seashore.
Great but no work got done we all totally cream as they say down in London Town, thought better bring my pillow in next time.

Some great music on here, @thespiceman. I love Frank Sinatra too! My favourite tunes come from the 80's, Wham, Duran Duran, Culture Club, etc as this really cheers me up and sets me up for the day. Like to unwind with some classical stuff and like Classic FM too. Usually have Radio 2 on in the background when doing my crafts as really soothing. Music certainly can lift our spirits, especially so during these times.Winner of the Scope New Volunteer Award 2019.

I use headphones plugged into the laptop most the time @thespiceman, so I can listen to music without disturbing anyone! Not many people share my taste
I mostly just listen to random things that come up on my Spotify playlist!Community Manager

I rarely listen to anything music-wise that was produced in this millennium, which is why i still like to have a stash of good, old fashioned CD's to listen to in the car.
Northern Soul is my go-to choice of music. Don't know if anyone has spotify. I've only discovered this very recently and loved it so much that I've signed up for Premium. -
Hello @LittleME Wonderful another Northern Soul fan.
Listening now every time every morning every day.
Miss the all weekenders and those clubs a lot.
Always here for a chat down memory lane anytime so many wonderful times.
Please take care and safe.

Hello @Adrian_Scope Good to hear I think nothing wrong with each other tastes as long your happy.
All sorts of stuff obscure weirds and yes I used to do requests those day living in a home.
Garden conservatory open doors times more tolerant so get phone calls neighbours sitting in the garden hearing my music.
Have you got by phone or a piece paper through the door different now.
Eye phones plugs careful remember sensitive ears can be damaging loud music.
Have a lovely music fun filled day.
Talk soon I hope.
