True authentic soul music from the past...by the original artists...
When soul music had 'soul' to it...nothing commercial or pop about it, most of it side B of albums of the day...but sung from the heart, the soul, and back when many of the singers had church choir roots to them...and you can hear it in their voice, and passion...and they simply crossed over into the recording industry.
True soul classics...a niche probably very few can relate to...
More to follow...

Back when woman actually sang...sang....sung...with passion...heart and meaning...thus it was soul music...
Today's pop urban drama stuff, just can't compare with the depth of the singers of this era... Who went through real struggles...which makes their music that much more rich...

This song will make some older folks cry, if they go back deep in their memories...cause it's soul, old fashion soul.
So many lost, so many have perished, simple people, ordinary people, ordinary lives...
But on this site you live as ghosts!!!!! and will never die...
Had to replace video, with one that didn't show modern, urban trash, that totally dishonors the past true soul types....
Live on, those who are real, the Twylight Zone is your Mansion and home.....

Poor thing... Life lost, through misdeeds and mis direction. But this is the Twylight Zone, as such your spirit, expression, lives on here. Poor thing..... But there was a time when even you were innocent, and only wanted to be 'normal'... Life indeed is crooked.

This song may of been redone by 'Paul and Oats'...but Tavares sung the original as posted here. This song totally has late 70's, bell bottoms written all over it, when life was still somewhat simple, at least compared to today. This song reminds me of like the streets of San Francisco in the late 60's, mid 70's...back when hippies reigned or were beginning to kind of fade away. Distant memories of peoples youth, the 'last dance' with youth they may of had before evolving onto something else and changing and adapting to the modern world controlled by computers and commerce. This song reminds me of those relationships forged so long ago at the twilight of certain peoples youth, a time now relegated to certain memories. Hall and Oats version to follow. If one is 'white' a older 70's hippie mild type, they may be able to relate to this version better, by Hall and Oats... Barefoot, semi rural, lost, young, hot summers, nothing better to do but drink, party and play, when hair was flush and thick, when you were fascinated with own feet, when you could smell the aroma of the earth. Youth is, was, special like that, now all relegated to memory for some, many. But here in the Twylightzone....those memories live on and are still alive.

Classic
Classic Love song by Bobby Caldwell.
At night, politics seem to go away and love and romance seems to come out.

'Lets Straighten it out'...
This is some deep soul music that goes back deep into dark alleys of the 70's.
But here in the twylightzone it lives, and so do the memories of the women who embraced such sentiment of the day.

'Smiling faces, smiling faces don't always tell the truth'.... Authentic non commercialized soul music from the past. This song takes me way back to the super fly daddy types of the late 60's, up to mid 70's types, urban males, females, trying to survive in that urban environment. But yet still strong enough to be adults, and parents, unlike todays 'crack bred' generation. In that the crack wave of the mid 80's broke, killed off the upward mobility of a whole generation as so many lives were destroyed and ruined. But the generation before that, were true soul soldiers. But many perished in inner city back alleys, and lots, just do to sad circumstances. But there memories live on here, in the Zone. click to enlarge

Roy Ayers 'Searching'
Wow, cool older soul tune...I mean true soul, without the disco or pop influence.
I've never heard this gem until minutes ago, if a song can be this old, and hidden for this long, than it definitely belongs here.

People make the world go round
With a bit of Ice Cube 'gangsta' lean to it of course, after his remake of this song in the 90's

This song here was sampled a lot by rappers in the 90's.

Ray Charles 'Hit the Road Jack'
I know this song has been kind of overly poperlerized over the decades, but in it's hey day, it was truly a outlaw soul town type of sound, or what I call a 'Rock & Soul' type of sound.
