It was Lil'Cholo's mentioning his birthday that did it - made me realise that because it was before the 21st of January, he didn't quite make it into the Age of Aquarius, unlike me. So that made it easy for me to pick the opener for this set, "Aquarius" by the Undisputed Truth. I've put in the Johnny Truitt track at number 8 because in a recent poll of the best ever Deep Soul tracks it came out on top. Can't say that I think it's that great, or even very good, myself, but now at least you can make up your own minds. Which makes me think that a Deep Soul special must be on the cards because I've seen a couple of polls of the best-ever tracks of that genre recently and I wouldn't really have agreed with either of their results ! What else do we have ? Oh, yes - I've always been a big fan of Aretha's version of "Until You Come Back To Me" and I knew that Stevie Wonder wrote it, but I didn't realise that he had recorded it. Well, here it is ! Also, if you are a fan of that monster from a few years ago "Dilemma" by Kelly Rowland & Nelly, as I am, you'll find the Patti LaBelle track featured here very familiar. A number of versions make the playlist as you should have come to expect by now, plus some others that have crossed my mind when working on other projects. Enjoy!
