Great write up of the event mr dd, made me feel like I was there. Your enthusiasm for good soul music is shared by me. When listening to female artist like Marva Whitney belt out lyrics from the depths of their soul I too feel shell shocked and stunned! Sister Funk is a love of mine because it is hard as nails yet sweet as honey. Like a hot female assassin that could whip your ass and kill you at the drop of a hat but is so profoundly hot and sexy that you are willing to die by her hands with a smile on your face after your bang the hell out of her. Would you do a strictly sister funk mix from your crates of some unknowns or obscure cuts? Thanks as always for the wonderful tunes you provide us! Wow!

The only Ideals 45 I have is "Mojo Hanna" which is highly recommended. Very nice, I’m hoping to track down a copy of this one, myself.

You know that first track, Brenda George 'I can't stand it', sounds alot like 'Queen of Losers' by Eleanor Rigby.
