Dig On This I remember being a kid and my parents always playing the Oldies station. Of course I loved it, and then Jr. High came around and suddenly I was embarrassed to like anything that wasn’t on MTV. Sometime during High School the station changed formats and stopped playing anything before the British Invasion. I wouldn’t even know where to look on the radio for this stuff anymore. Not that is was a big deal to me then, but lately I’ve been really into some Motown/Northern Soul.  This is a quick 10 song mix I put together that I think is pretty strong. Gino Is A Coward - Gino Washington 31 Flavors - The Shirelles I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) - The Four Tops You Can’t Hurry Love - The Supremes Runaway - Del Shannon Come See About Me - Nella Dodds Stay - The Hollies Laisse Tomber Les Filles - France Gall Whiplash - The Shells You’ve Really Got A Hold On Me - The Miracles Get it here*, or click the picture. If you end up liking any of this find a way to get money to the artist. *Mix tapes available for five days after posting
