DAVE SIMMONS - Soul Radio Show 1974 ‘Meanwhile Back in the States’ (Part Two)
Four ‘Meanwhile Back In The States’ segments from Dave Simmons weekly Radio Soul Show where he phoned a DJ at a US radio station to hear some current stateside soul and R&B hits. (Salvaged from home-recorded cassettes where it was the only useable thing on the tape, so quality and levels may vary). I do not own this material.

What an amazing chart! Legendary artists at the peak of their powers, powerful tunes: James Brown, Fatback Band, BT Express, Barry White, Ohio Players, Johnny Bristol, Rufus, Stylistics, Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick, etc. 1974 was absolutely outstanding for soul and funk. Was there ever a better chart?
Again, nice job on putting this together. Seamless editing. Great music. Thanks!
I was 18 when this was first broadcast ....no streaming in those days ! Dave Simmons was my inspiration ,he introduced me to many soul sounds that at that time was never played on Radio 1...or any where else ....I started being a Disc Jockey soon after and played many of the singles I heard from this show , I started and had my own weekly show1974-1978 at a place called Birch hotel cellar bar in Manchester and played a lot of soul .we even had a soul train night every Sunday . unfortunately the place was demolished to make way for the M60 Motorway Thanks again ....memories

Pretty sure that artist/title for each track is given by Simmons or the guest DJ on these segments - but if there's any particular ones where it's not clear, just post another Comment and we'll find out what it is👍
