Description
Platform Soul is a richly curated CD compilation drawing from the sweet spot of early-to-mid 1970s soul, funk, and classic R&B. The tracklist moves effortlessly between dancefloor heat and deep-feeling balladry — George McCrae’s silky disco-era smash ‘Rock Your Baby’, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes’ spine-tingling ‘Wake Up Everybody’, and Ben E. King’s sultry ‘Supernatural Thing’ are just a few of the standout moments. Rufus Thomas brings loose-limbed fun with ‘Do The Funky Chicken’, while Percy Sledge delivers aching Southern soul on ‘If Lovin’ You Is Wrong’. Whether you’re revisiting these classics or discovering them for the first time, this CD captures an era when soul music was at its most vital and expressive…
