Top 21 Cocktail Hour Soulful Selections.
How about listening to something different during the Cocktail Hour?
I enjoy delving into my collection of 60’s, 70’s and 80’s soul and R n B music and sprinkling some choice selections for my clients to hear at the wedding reception.
Especially when I get two thumbs up or a guest runs over and tells me that “No one ever plays this music anymore” or “This is a great song… who is it?”. As a friend once told me, if it’s the first time you’re hearing a long-lost oldie, then it’s a brand new song to you then.
And don’t be fooled…. just because it was recorded recently by a contemporary artist doesn’t mean that it’s not “soul”. Here are 21 soulful selections that bend the genre and cross all the way over! This is by no means a definitive list… just some of my favorites at this moment in time.
Try some of these during your Cocktail Hour (in no special order):
- Jackson 5 – I’ll Be There (Minus Mix)
- Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass – This Guy’s In Love With You
- Candy Dulfer w/ David A. Stewart – Lily Was Here (instrumental)
- Luther Vandross – Any Love
- Mayer Hawthorne – The Walk
- Brenda Russell – Get Here
- Ed Sheeran – Thinking Out Loud (G Duppy Reggae Remix)
- Keith Washington – Kissing You
- Queen Latifah (aka Dana Owens) – California Dreamin’
- Bobby Caldwell – What You Won’t Do For Love
- Marvin Gaye & Diana Ross – You Are Everything
- Anita Baker – Sweet Love
- Melina – Wishing On Love
- Johnny Gill – My, My, My
- Earth, Wind & Fire – That’s The Way Of The World
- Major Harris – Love Won’t Let Me Wait
- Temptations – Just My Imagination
- Stevie Wonder – My Cherie Amour
