[Mation]

Green onions is the KING of them ALL, IMO.

Yes it is. This is my All Time Favourite piece of music Of All Time.

 

[Spion]

Yes it is. This is my All Time Favourite piece of music Of All Time.

Heard a possibly earlier 'version' of it on the radio last night - Woodchopper's Ball by Willie Mitchell

Anyway, hi M. Nice to meet you at EI

 

[Kaka Tim]

Green Onions again.

Liquidator if we can include ska.

C'mon Children - the Small faces.

 

[Dubversion]

Liquidator if we can include ska.

we can't
and it's not ska either.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Wade in the Water

The vocal version's good as well

 

[Orang Utan]

we can't
and it's not ska either.

It's not? What is it then?

 

[Dubversion]

It's not? What is it then?

Rocksteady or bluebeat. FAR too slow for ska.

 

[Orang Utan]

S'all the same to me

 

[Dubversion]

S'all the same to me

so's soul and funk. Ignorance is nothing to be proud of

 

[Orang Utan]

Surely not

 

[clandestino]

Groovin' With Mr Bloe

 

[Spion]

Liquidator's quite possibly rock steady, IMO

Bluebeat I associate with early ska, as a label with Prince Buster and the like

*DL's Alton Ellis Rock Steady to mull over*

 

[neilh]

as far as booker t and the mg's are concerned, i'd have to go with Melting Pot or time is tight;

But unless there's gonna be links to mp3's or something, there's no point, cos green onions will win it hands down, as it's much more known.

 

[Magic Sam]

King Curtis- Memphis Soul Stew (bit of talking but essentially instrumental)

 

[Dubversion]

King Curtis- Memphis Soul Stew (bit of talking but essentially instrumental)

good call.

Hi - I'm new here. I've been looking all over, and for a very long time, for a soul/R&B instrumental song that I heard on the radio decades ago. It has a funky unison guitar and bass riff over a basic 4/4 drum beat, also I think there's an organ in there, and periodically there's a guy saying "Train……train!" I'd very much like to do a cover of it, but I don't know the title although I'd thought that it was "Train Time."

Anyone have any knowledge of the song I'm talking about?
