  • Soul of any kind is the best genre of music.

  • @TheSchamploo Amen!

  • i grew up with Teena Marie but i can see there are a lot of people in the same style as she was

  • @hiphopson Well I'll say this about Teena. I don't consider her a "blue-eyed soul" singer because she always did R&B/soul music, she was never a pop singer. The artists I highlighted here are known as pop singers who did some R&B sounding songs. Teena was a beast on the mic tho, always loved her stuff.

  • @thruthealcove can't say i disagree

  • Love the video. I also love all types of music including these blue-eyed soul grooves. Pls tell me what was the name of the song used on your introduction before Hall & Oates. Thanks!

  • @Kamariya33 Glad you enjoyed this. And I dont know anything about my theme song, except that I love it, sorry.

  • very very kool.........i commend you on bring this out ...just let me put 1 or 2 in yo ear ...lol...the style council with paul weller - the kane gang-- motor town.

  • @ilovejesus190 Thanks! I know The Style Council & that song "Motortown", but I wouldn't consider them "soulful", they're much more pop, even euro-pop sounding with American influences.

  • Wow! Very well done. Also, I admire your owning up to jury duty. A good citizen with great taste in music, POWERFUL combination!

  • @Golfdewd Thanks so much! I'm just glad I don't have to be bothered with the courts for 8 more years!!! LOL

  • This is outstanding!!! Great compilation....some groups I've never heard before some that brought back great memories. Yes Dusty Springfield is the queen. Duffy and Adele and others need to bow down to her...Miss Sun is one of my all time favorites. Its on my ipod. Need to add Gino Vinelli "I Just Wanna Stop" that whole CD is great...My favorite Level 42..Mark King the Bass Funk Master. Thanks! :-)

  • @ebland64 Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed this!

  • good stuff! thanks for sharing

  • @xshortcake079x Thanks, glad you enjoyed!

  • Very interesting mix of songs...always nice to hear Dusty stuff that I never heard before! Looking forward to more good stuff...

  • @recordman64 Thanks so much!

  • Whoa cool, I didn't know that Salt 'n' Pepa sampled What A Man.

    I really like Teena Marie, the Doobie Brothers, and Simply Red :)

  • @adaku29 HEYYYY there you are!!! How ya been? I love those 3 you mentioned.

  • @thruthealcove Hey! I've been good, just been really busy out here.

    I LOVE "Holding Back The Years", "Black Water" and "What a Fool Believes" (that's a really good song in my opinion, who is writing material like that these days?), "Portuguese Love" and "Ooh La La."

    Oh, and I LOVE Hall and Oates by the way, "Sara Smile" and "Out of Touch." Lately I've been listening to old school psychedelic Peruvian cumbia (i.e. The Roots of Chicha album), do you have anything on that?

  • @adaku29 Funny, I was listening to Simply Red today, his songs "Stars" & "Say You Love Me". Loved them!!! I don't have any of that, but sounds good, so I may have to seek that out, any suggestions?

  • @thruthealcove I had "Stars" stuck in my head all day, and yes, I LOVE that song too =)

    I can send you a link if you like, but my favorite songs from The Roots of Chicha album are "Carinito" and "Linda Munequita." You should be able to find them if you search on YouTube.

  • @adaku29 what about steely dan? like the song "PEG"

  • @sasquatch13ja I love "Peg", but I wouldn't consider them or that song blue-eyed soul, it's just pop to me.

  • i think teena marie and joss stone have a lot of soul in them also

  • I love Teena, but to me, she's R&B, can't really call what she does Blue-Eyed Soul. I like Joss too, but sometimes I can't help but feel like her "soulfulness" is forced. She has some great songs though. Thanks for watching!!!

  • Heym my brother, been away for awhile, once again another classic vid I really enjoyed this one, as always keep them coming!!!!!!!!!

  • Hey sis!!! As you can see I've been away for awhile myself. Glad you enjoyed this one, I love it!!! Hope to hear from you again soon, I'll be back in a few weeks!!!

  • thank you!

  • Your welcome.

  • I keep commenting! LOL I spent the better part of the morning on your page, just loving it! I am learning a lot as well. much more than I knew. I was a kid in the 60's, I knew the artists and loved their sound. But you've introduced me to a lot that are unfamiliar. That's a shame!! But want you to know, I love your page, I'll know where to go when I want more than my IPod is offering me! LOL Thank You for doing what you do. And I must add, your personality brings so much to it as well.

  • Oh this is just great!!! Thank you for making me & my videos apart of your day, it really encourages me to keep making vids!!! I've got sooooo much more, we're just beginning!!! LOL

  • Hey Bro, This was nice. YOu got on a jury? How'd you do that? I should go volunteer or something.

  • Thanks Rob!!! Believe me, you don't want to be on a jury, it's the most boring thing ever!!! LOL

  • @thruthealcove Yes I do, yes I do. I actually got on a jury last time and we got there for the trial and they had settled. I was so bummed out, lol.

  • LOL Wow, you're like the only one I know that wants to be on jury duty!!! LOL

  • @thruthealcove ppl LOVE those courtroom shows; I don't see why they wouldn't want to be on a jury; except for having to work their job. I gig on wknd nights anyway, so I wouldn't miss much work.

  • Awl - You were a cute baby. LOL Great photos... 

  • Okay Eng, I don't know where you been, but I had those pics up since last August!!! LOL But thank you!!! :)

  • Some great discoveries here for me. Biggest surprise was to see Mac Davis included. I've always liked his voice but have never heard him do anything as soulful as this.

  • Thanks so much, and I was just as surprised when I first heard that song by Mac!!! So many things to discover from back in the day.

  • BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOy you look like you have lost weight. I was expecting some Elvis & Teena Marie. But it was interesting......I must buy you Beyonce'e last CD since I know you are a fan lmao.

  • OMG you treat me sooooo bad!!! LMAO No Elvis & Teena here, but I love me some Teens & Elvis does have his bright spots. I've been hitting the gym hard, just the way I've been trying to for YEARS now, so it's finally paying off, thanks for noticing that. :-)

  • @thruthealcove You like it when I treat you bad lol. I love Hall & Oates...........

  • LOL a mess!!!

  • @thruthealcove When are you going to do UK R & B???

  • That's gonna take some time, but I'm working on ideas now!!!

  • You would be a movie company or movie directors dream. Do you realize you could be the man behind the man behind man as a movie soundtrack producer? You really should look into this. You are a rare jewel of musical knowledge that could take you to Hollywood, the Tonys, the Grammys, the Oscars, and beyond. One Love.

  • WOW, you are just too kind for words!!! Thanks for thinking of me in those ways, I'm so flattered!!! I just love music that's gonna feed my soul & take me to places I've never been & this stuff is just a slice of what I mean & I just wanna share that feeling with everybody!!! Much love to you as always!!!

  • I most definitely have to hit up limewire! every time i tune into one of your videos Kevin i learn something new :)

  • Man, that's what's up, that's why I do these music vids, we need to update our iPods & music collections with stuff that has substance & staying power!!! Good looking dude!!!

  • When I first started at the refcord label in ATL the guyz sat me down and gave me a talk. THis was one of the talks. Every single person named in your vid was on the list of Blue Eyed Soul that was given to me. EVERY SINGLE ONE as of the time I had the talk in 1999!!! . Back then I didn't even know Chris Clark was caucasian! LMAO You're really quite brilliant at this you know! ~Calvin

  • WOW, every last one huh? I must be doing something right then!!! LOL You must tell me more about that meeting you had & what else was discussed. Thanks for the complement Uncle Cal!!!

  • @thruthealcove It's a pleasure & a privilege to to have access to your knowledge & creativity!

  • Thanks Cal, I love sharing it!!!

  • Linda Lyndell shut it down! Young whipper snappers don't know nuffin' about music! LOL! *j/k* This vid is the truth! Thanks for sharing!

  • OMG she sure did!!! I actually wish the youngsters knew more than they do about this stuff, but hey, that's why I'm here!!! LOL So glad you liked this one!!!

  • OMG she sure did!!! I actually wish the youngsters knew more than they do about this stuff, but hey, that's why I'm here!!! LOL So glad you liked this one!!!

  • @thruthealcove I am too lazy to go through the comments but do you consider Kenny Loggins "Blue Eyed Soul"? Hope you do a part 2! Throw in some Michael McDonald too. :-)

  • Yes I do & Michael, but I only do rare & hard to find stuff & they're big stars. I did a song by Kenny on my 80's Pop video, "Heart To Heart", that's a blue-eyed soul song.

  • @thruthealcove I remember b/c I downloaded "Heart To Heart" b/c of that vid! LOL! Good lookin' out.

  • i knew you was going to bring it with this...loved it bro...now im going to go fing these songs and put them on my ipod...much luv!!!!

  • You know I try sis, and these are great iPod songs!!! LOL Glad you liked this one!!!

  • I'm IMPRESSED ! Thank you so much for sharing. Please do a part 2 for the blue eyed soul. Don't for get about Steely Dan, Elton John, David Bowie, America, Dusty Springfield, Rod Stewart, The Soul Survivors, The Rascals, Sprial Staircase and AWB.  WE LOVE YOU, MAN !

  • Now you know I did Dusty twice here, and all the others are so easy to fined, you know I'm all about the obscure & more hard to find stuff. Wait till you see what I got for... oh you'll see it!!! LOL Love you right back, I was looking forward to your feedback on this one!!!

  • I always learn something new about muzik when I watch ya video's bruh!!! I honestly have never heard of blue eyed soul, I am going to have to listen to some of this muzik!! Thanks Bruh! Keep em coming!

  • Hey, it's all about sharing the knowledge & spreading the love dude!!! So glad you could get into this vid!!!

  • WTH???? Okay, I've heard of Dusty Springfield....and I've heard her music. But I have never SEEN a picture of her. Had no idea she was white! LMAO! You've taught me something today! Thanks alot for another fun-filled vid!

  • Oh wow, you never knew??? If she were still living, I'm sure she would have loved to have heard that about her!!! She adored soul music, and had lots of respect & friends in the black music community!!! One of her close industry friends was Martha Reeves of Martha & The Vandellas. I'm so glad you liked this one sis!!!

  • this is great....

  • Thanks, glad you enjoyed!!!

  • informative as usual and i would like to add to your list mr gino vannelli. take care tell your boo i love him too. hey see i didnt mention your taping location. smile.

  • LOL you noticing my different locations!!! LOL I love me some Gino, but he's well known so he has no place in this video. Although I did consider using "I Just Wanna Stop" as the hit song to start the video with instead of "Sara Smile", maybe the next video I do on this genre. And you sooooo crazy!!! LMAO

  • This is an incredible time capsule of talented artists of yesteryear, although I'd have loved to have seen Ms. Lottie Golden included within these ranks.

  • Oooo Lottie is one I did forget, but she wasn't on my mind when I made this. But don't worry, I have enough music from this genre to do a few more follow ups!!!

  • Okay sir loved the video . Back to work juror number 6 LOL

  • Well thank you sir, and I don't wanna go back!!! LOL

  • YOU ARE SOOOO AWESOME! I LITERALLY loved every song on this video!! I adore Sara Smile by Hall and Oates that is one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard. That is so crazy that they sound black, but music has no color so its all good=). I need to start getting into more blue-eyed soul thats some awesome stuff! But I am definitely about to so some serious downloading right now=D THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! and hope your jury duty goes well!

  • I tell you, comments & appreciation like that is the driving force behind me doing these music videos!!! Thanks so much, I'm so glad you could get into this, and yes "Sara Smile" is one of the BEST songs ever!!! Jury duty is boring as hell, but I'm making it thru!!! LOL Thanks again!!!

  • Hi Kev, awesome video u took us to school as usual :)

  • Well hopefully the homework will be just as fun as this video!!! LOL Glad you liked this dude!!!

  • This video really hit a good note with me today. Keep them coming...

  • Oh, that's great!!! You need to check out Leigh Jones too!!!

  • Thanks for always bringing the "playlist of my life" ........above all it was music done by people who could sing !.....much respect research man!!

  • And that's what mattered. It wasn't about skin color. If you could throw down, we respected it!!! Glad you enjoyed this man!!!

  • A1 loved it, as always, jury duty is an experience to say the less. 

  • Thanks sis. Jury duty is... well... duty!!! LOL

  • wow.... I knew Whatta Man was a sample tho.... from someone who reads linear notes.

    LOL!!

    Dusty was everything back then tho....

  • Yes, come on liner note readers!!! LOL Dusty is like my LIFE!!! LOL

  • "What a Man" was a Remake?? Wow... Envogue could've told a brother!! lol

    That Leigh Jones is nice I'm going to have check her out thanks .

  • LOL you didn't know that was a remake? It was a cool song tho. And you MUST check Leigh out, she is BAD!!!

  • YOU REALLY HAVE AN EXCELLENT TASTE IN MUSIC!

  • Thanks so much!!!

  • Good morning Kevin. Thanks for posting yet another great musical lesson. They better not mute this!!! Oh, I'd like to give an honorable mention to Laura Nyro.

  • Thanks Sean. I wanted to mention her, but I felt she was a little too well known to be in my video, but I am saving a track of hers for another vid.

  • GREAT ADDITION!! Black Russian was my crack back in the day...but WAIT!!! - no Teena Marie?? *dies a hard H8ful death*

    BTW; looking good boy!

  • OMG this is the MAIN reason why I said I ONLY concentrait on the more rare & obscure stuff, do you know just how well known Teena is boy??? LMAO And what you know about Black Russian? LOL Thanks man!!!

  • @thruthealcove My bad. Imma really have to work on my ADD issue. It's just that when I think of 'the queen of blue-eyed soul' or any title of such the nature, it's Teena hands down for me!

  • Oh, no arguments from me about that there, cuz I agree with you about Teena, but Dusty was first, so that's why I say she's the queen. I guess it all depends on the day of the week. LOL

  • FIRST!!!! Welcome back...I like this!!!

  • LOL sorry, 3 people beat you & I'm not back yet, but thanks, glad you liked this!!!

  • great video and great finds in the Blue Eyed Soul genre !! some of these songs i have never heard of before and where did you find some of the these tracks!! you should do a sequel to the "Blue Eyed Soul" video you have here.. Great Job and wow!! best of luck during Jury Duty!!

  • So glad you enjoyed this!!! Lord knows I have enough to do a few more follow up vids for this genre. These are songs that I either grew up on, or discovered myself over the years.

  • Welcome Back =D and ha ive been listening to alot of soul & Blues lately

  • I'm not back!!! LOL Good genre of music to groove to.

  • You like Mayer Hawthorne. Not the greatest vocalist, but awesome producer.

  • No, not a fan at all, but the productions I've heard are cool.
