The first in an occasional series where I play some of my favourite mid tempo and ballad soul tunes. These types of tunes have spawned a whole scene amongst Latino listeners and collectors in East Los Angeles in particular that is dubbed the "Low Rider" or "Gangster" soul scene.

Anyway enough chit chat, here's the playlist: 01 - I Dig Your Act - The Whatnauts (Stang) 02 - There He Is - Dream Team (Gregory) 03 - Your Love Is Everything - Sandy Golden (Masterpiece) 04 - Workin' On A Groovy Thing - Barbara Lewis (Atlantic) 05 - On Old Broadway - 107th Street Stickball Team (Dorado) 06 - Look At Me Now - Terry Callier (Cadet) 07 - Walking Up A One Way Street - Willie Tee (Atlantic) 08 - Baby (Why Can't You Hear Me) - Otis Leavill (Brunswick) 09 - Then Came Heartbreak - Jive Five (UA) 10 - Yesterday's Girl - Artistics (Brunswick) 11 - Main Squeeze - Nate Evans (Twinight) 12 - I'm In Love - Lovelites (Uni) 13 - What Have I Done - Billy Stewart (Chess) 14 - I'm Getting Nearer To Your Love - Renaldo Domino (Smash) 15 - Black And Beautiful - Michael Liggins (Numero CD) 16 - I'm Gonna Tell The World - Dontells (Vee Jay) 17 - Poor Side Of Town - Johnny Rivers (Imperial) 18 - Poor Boy Got To Move - Allen Toussaint (Alon) 19 - He's A Lover - Mary Wells (20th Century) 20 - I Don't Want To Lose You - Tami Young (Modern) 21 - I'll Give My Life - Brenda Holloway (Del Fi) 22 - Don't Be Afraid - Lebron Brothers (Cotique) 23 - There's No Other Girl - Oliveri (Delta) 24 - Giving Up - Gladys Knight & The Pips (Maxx) Hope you enjoy and please spread the word!

My Mod Radio UK show from October 8 this year. A Lee Scratch Perry special with lots of his tunes and productions including some rare ones. Enjoy! Also if possible, please donate/pledge to my fundraiser to get better equipment and software to do my show with. I'm off the air at the moment until I can get better stuff to do it with as the software kept crashing during shows that I was using and I had a "free" copy (ahem..) that has now been blocked by the software company. I aim to bring you the best quality programs available and this will help me to do that. The link is: http://pleasefund.us/projects/radio-silence-is-not-good Thanks and enjoy the show! And Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends. Gordy
