Keith Mansfield - Soul Thing

[Eightball69]

awesome! (I've posted the same comment before I'm sure but nothing has changed!)

[mrkasstrick]

Good music is what you makes your soul vibrant and gives you shivers down your spinal cord while making your body move in various ways you never could have imagined.

[onestagehand]

Nice piano.

[Assamassa1]

Thumbs up, if you did not hear this song sampled in some shitty rap music! You actually have musical taste!

[Viecktoire]

@Assamassa1 Thumbs up if y-SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKING MORON.

[kristynguernica]

@Assamassa1 By writing off all rap music as "shitty", it is you who have proven to have no musical taste. Good music comes in all forms.

[goldatra3]

Thumb up if KILL BILL or Pit Boss brought you here !

[gilgamess]

I've heard this in old "Preview of coming attractions" reels.

[gekkegerrit11]

lalala lola lolaaaaaa :-)

Reminds me of that, superstylish & cool thnx for sharing !

[cpsdiablo]

I can't help but notice the similarity to "California Soul" (Marlena Shaw's version comes to mind).

Sorry if this has already been noted.

[SidneyBroadshead]

"Soul Thang" was an arrangement of "Phunky Fanfare" by Keith Mansfield and organist Alan Hawkshaw that used an organ rather than a piano. If this is cut actually from the real album, then they used the wrong song title for the track. "Soul Thang" and "Boogaloo" are the only tracks written by Mansfield. The others are arrangements of songs written by others.

[SidneyBroadshead]

Album Title: The Keith Mansfield Orchestra. Year: (1968). Format: Long Play Record. Label: Pronit, Stock Number: SXL 0986. Side "A" = A1: "All You Need Is Love". A2: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling". A3: "Everlasting Love". A4: "Whiter Shade of Pale", A5: "Soul Thing", A6: "Moanin'". Side "B" = B1: "Walk On By", B2: "Lovin' Things", B3: "Reach Out", B4: "Take 5", B5: "Boogaloo", B6: "Rainbow Valley". Only "Soul Thang" and "Boogaloo" are original works by Keith Mansfield.

[minimaloptimal]

yea know this tune ! think mf doom sampled it or something like that

[DJLoressa13]

i thought was the beginning of Quentin Taratino's movies...

[dynospectrum]

its just cuz im old school like that/ roll that rap over soul loops like that

[PitBullFernando]

I like this song because it is opening the program on Animal Planet Pit Boss.

[purvicide]

Same as "Funky Fanfare". What gives?

[nicx765]

PIT BOSS !!!!!!!

[TheFlyingFruit]

"Covers 3000% of your recommended daily dose of funk."

[Assamassa1]

Funny thing, The kinks plagiarised this song. Even stranger is that If you make a google search you wont find any mention of this. But who cares.. I love both songs, but this is better. This song was released 1969 and The Kinks - Lola was released 1970.

[pscottbland8]

Tony Newman's version is the best!!!

[gescinj]

Arzachel for ever

[RingelhutsNiece]

kinks-lola!!!

[deadInf3rno]

the start always reminds me of an intro song to a 70's movie

[exitoftheend]

funny how they put this in a video game trailer about zombies lol

[boethiah12]

@exitoftheend what game?

[TheAngryPandaMan]

Activision support sent me and wanted me to say GIANT HAIRY NUTSACK

[xGamingL3gendx]

Twitter and cod.

[Dragmack]

this tune demands that I wear sunglasses, stroll out like a fearless muthafuckah, and drive away in a red convertible.

[mcmarcelovideo]

TOO ILL>

[john111257]

omg paul raven did a vocal version of this b4 he bacame gary glitter on mca

[TheFuzzieWuzzie]

This was our local drive-in's "The movie is getting ready to start" theme music. Yeah, I'm a bit past my prime, lol

It is forever burned into my memory banks and I am so happy that 3 of my favorite hip-hop people used this cool-ass tune in a song. Keith Mansfield , I hope you are happy for the rec.

[bekahlovesbulls]

pitboss

[TheNorthernSoulKing]

that 1 dislike does not have a soul thing going on lol

[Tveshag]

Fantastic,Just love it Awesome what a groove!

[ozziemckenzie]

What's the difference between this and ''Funky Fanfare''... well i can feel some discrimination but can't figure it out.

P.S. Please help me with this problem as soon as you read my comment :)

[trokidman]

Its jus that im old school like that

[MrBumpits]

is this on itunes?? I really need this on my ipod!

[claudeedee]

[Tizzelaar]

Grindhouse And Doom!!!

[MariosTsak]

Great posts Tuberider! You made my day once again!

Awesome song!

[Jughand]

I wish I could psychically transmit the way this song just made me feel to all the sentient beings in the universe.

[mrlijones89]

ear  gasm

[aey20]

This is "funky fanfare" with a splash of Epicness

[agentgooner007]

At 2:00pm we go over live to Athletics, at 3 we join barry at Twickenham and at 4:45 we go to Des for all the day's round up but first we see how Suzi is doing at Val Thorens for the mens downhill, Suzi..........................­.Thank you Carol.

[Darklordlucas]

tube you rock

[OLOeOJO]

ohhh ye yea yeahhhhhh !!!

[patrix4th]

@Skelemelon You just can't say it can you? Might as well not even bother trying to say it. Trust me, I've been trying it for hours and I still can't. Just go with I love this song.

[HermesGott]

Fantastic!

[lynnvryett]

I'm not sure which one I like better, but I'm definitely feeling this version a lot more simply because of the 'sound' it gives. It's like an aged wine, I guess.

[tegrenath]

Yeah, this is definitely a separate track from Funky Fanfare. I mean it's the same music, but the instrumentation and voicings are all different. Different piano solos too. Really interesting to listen to the two back-to-back.

[PatrickOpalisky]

This isn't Funky Fanfare?

[heound]

@PatrickOpalisky No.

[charpsteve36]

@PatrickOpalisky apperently they are both the same song

[FOGang]

@PatrickOpalisky pretty much, with different instruments, a way to make 2 songs out of one

[JETF1RE007]

I can wash my car to this music! or my dog lol

[tigerjonn]

im just oldschool like that....

[MrAlkchan]

It's funky fanfare, not this that's sampled on the dangerdoom track I'm pretty sure.

[lcozzarelli]

Isn't this the music they used to play at Loews Cinema when they were trying to quiet everyone down?

[RunningFromthe80s]

why, oh why is this soo good?

[stallerud1616]

Old school- with talib kweli and MF DOOM!!!!!!!

[01RoboDemon]

makin up a miracle flow over a cereal bowl

[RXTVonline]

The Tony Newman version is better

[cicodelico]

mike

[rappadapp]

MF Doom sampled this track but i liked the Tony Newsman's version betta

[dreadedhalo]

[SlashPwnage]

Old School ft Talib Kweli - DangerDoom

[czuczuuu]

no, no. ekstra.! : )

[phonegalfitness]

AWSM!

[ptoughnutz]

hahaha how can this song not make you feel good?

[matzomaniac]

tune used as well for tarantino/rodriguez grindhouse

[pitrogol]

sampled by Danger Mouse-> Danger Doom-Old School  :D

[tremorinmysoul]

@pitrogol not to be picky, but Doom sampled the version called 'Funky Fanfare' - it's over in the related videos - would be mad nice if he sampled this one for a remix though...

[tremorinmysoul]

my bad - it might have been Dangermouse who made that particular beat - I haven't actually heard it on any of Doom's Special Herbs albums and there's no specific production credits on thealbum inlay, now that I've checked. MYSTERIOUS

[sweetwaterwc]

thats my grandpa

[minstrelbard]

your grandpa is THE SHIT

[TRANSAM19777]

[grunthunter44]

god i wish i knew where i could download this

[SirKonssi]

download "realplayer" and this is OK^^

[floyd1973]

Hey guys, did you know that this amazing song was used by Quentin Tarantino and Danger Mouse on two separate occasions? This sure is an amazing song, and it's so nice to see mainstream artists recognize a true masterpiece... This song is just so positive; I don't think anyone with a true appreciation for this type of music could have a negative attitude while listening to it. Only a music-hating troll could possibly spread contempt with this song playing. Good thing that's not the case here :)

[TSkniaz]

I like the song, and even more I like the artist. But it's really ignorant, no matter how well off you phrase it, to believe that your tastes, especially in music, are that much better off than the rest. Some people might just not 'feel' this tune, but that in no way makes them a troll

[Havermayer]

Nitpicky.

The track used is "Funky Fanfare", which is almost identical. I think it's the same song, just done by different performers. It was originally used for the Astro Daters series of snipes from the 60's. The use of it is a homage to older films.

[ttcsubway209]

I think it's in a slightly different key (everything is played one MAYBE two semitones higher)

[Pepotamo1985]

Excellent tune, and I'm sorry, stillceaser is just a fucking idiot, borderline troll. He's making an issue out of fucking nothing like every other Youtube moron out there. DD heard the beat, liked it, and sampled it. What's the beef?

Trying to track down that they used in that song (I'm from the UK, we didn't have it played in cinemas or on TV), has turned me onto all of Keith Mansfield's wonderful composing. Doubtless it's done the same for a few other people too, so I give DD much credit.

[fishyboy111]

Love this piece so much, anyone know of any sheet music or tab for any part of this? would be great to jam with :)

[lucaspenna]

anyone have a link to download this album with a good quality??

[almarcus]

great song! I am laughing at the scenario of people writing in hate comments while this awesome tune spins in the background. Hah!

[nerp23]

So much hostility written beneath such a fantastic piece of music..ridiculous! chill yall and enjoy the tune

[dylonias]

i respect you guys not finding dangerdoom a good collaboration, but you gotta give Danger Mouse credit for knowing his shit about what to sample!

[db0ywills]

This was sampled by Dj Danger Mouse for a song off of DangerDoom. "Oldschool" by MF Doom feat talib kweli

[crysiss]

Im guessing you dont read comments, cuz theres a whole discussion about it down there, Genius...

[db0ywills]

Looks like some one needs a tampon.

I'm guessing your just an all around asshole who uses sarcasm to mask your bitchassness, Genius...

[crysiss]

Your bound to run into some assholes on the internet. Sorry to tell you that..

Hows that for masking bitchassness? Internet arguing is a lot of fun anyway..

[db0ywills]

Can't argue with that second part  =)

[JimHrdz]

dude chill the fuck out, punk ass...

[nightmoves17]

You gotta love that funy fanfare!

[barrtok]

cool!

[FlotsamX]

Neat.

[gwyllyn]

Where can I find the CD for this LP? I gotta hear the whole thing -- can't stop the action posing around the room when I hear it.

[cratedigga80]

de de deeededee oldskool like that dedeedd deee dee t kweli.

[stillceaser]

I can only suppose you are a little too young to have a genuine conception. Of course, I have listened to the dangerdoom song, on numerous occasions. You howver, appear to have underdeveloped historical and cultural reference points with regard to music. It's funny that most of the messages on this thread credit DangerMouse as if he wrote the original composition. You are clearly missing the point. It is a touch banal.

[10YearComa]

Nearly every point you have tried to make is inaccurate as Danger Mouse has mentioned Mansfield as being an influence often, as well as the songs lyrics pay homage to the memories, thoughts, and feelings that many of Mansfield's works spark, thus pointing the importance of his accomplishments squarely back at Mansfield and thanking him.

[stillceaser]

That is pure shit, if you want to ride Danger Mouses dick, try not to be so obvious about it. The idea of a 'homage' is not only a subjective area but he's hardly going to say 'yeah it was just a straight jack' to a music journo is he now. So the 'inaccuracies' you waffle on are just wishful thinking on your part, you no-nothing, pompous and painfully moronic ass stain. Cheers.

[blackefron]

The thing which irritates me is the fact that we hear Mansfield tunes on the TV all the time on this side of the Atlantic (and people remember them from their childhood) but nobody knows the guy's name because he was a library artist!

[stillceaser]

Dangermouse did a right number on the Keith Mansfield material from KPM for that DangerDoom album. It's a bit embarrassing really because they were invariably straight lifts and not fucked with which was a bit of a poor show.

[Acidic0man]

Dangerdoom song is a god-damn joke!

boo! i say.

keith mansfield was awesome.

[lyverbird]

I agree with you, have just listened to the dangerdoom song and it doesn't have a fraction of the sould of this tune, IMO...

[micr0cosm]

k i l l e r r r r r r. . . . . .
