Keith & Tex - Tonight

when I've had a few rum & cokes I'm convinced that rocksteady is the only music worth listening to - just listen to the heavenly harmonies, the bittersweet melodies, the heartbreak, the tears...cathartic in extremis - music does not get much better than this

Earth & Stone - Devil Must Have Made You

although... I was going to post this in the "choon of the week" but this is timeless, can't be constrained by day, week, or year... two voices melding into one, far too short, every note counts

funny, once I started listening to some on youtube, I realized the melodic hooks were often more in the singing than the music. for example...

is not like other people
no filler notes, no excess fat, nothing. just a fully formed melodic development.

if this doesn't get @luka to shell some knowledge I don't know what will. @linebaugh you too, please recalibrate @suspended and @catalog 's tuneless ears.

seems strange for the usually exemplary ideologue to post such a nakedly aesthetic thread, having said that i quite like the bits on this where the guy stops crooning, but that's cos of the mystery atmosphere of the instrumentation rather than the melody which is wasted on the ears of this "foolish boy"

Not to speak for third but this seems fully in keeping with the anti-sound-design turn.
