Compiled and annotated by soul music authority Clive Richardson, Soul City Los Angeles is the latest in a series that has previously explored the nascent soul scenes in Detroit, New York and Chicago. This instalment presents a selection from key independent labels of the area, including Sam Cooke's SAR and Richard Vaughn's Arvee, as well as choice items from Aladdin, Liberty, Imperial and Ebb, and collectable releases from more obscure imprints. Famous names on CD1 of this 60-track 2 CD set include the Olympics, the Valentinos (aka the Womack Brothers) with 'Lookin' for a Love', the Rivingtons with 'Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow', and Johnnie Morissette with 'Meet Me at the Twistin' Place', while CD2 features 'Ko Ko Mo' hitmakers Gene \u0026amp; Eunice, both sides of a 1962 single on Rush by Don \u0026amp; Dewey, early recordings by future stars Johnnie Taylor and Johnny 'Guitar' Watson, and a young Sly Stone as a member of the Viscaynes. Soul fans of the early 1960s could often figure out the geographic origins of new singles as much by the 'sound' as by any knowledge of sometimes obscure artists and labels, with the output of West Coast studios tending to have a 'harder' sound in comparison with some more sophisticated (for the era) productions from the opposite coast or the regions of the Great Lakes. Here we have music from the formative period of the soul era in Los Angeles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoothe Me (The Simms Twins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight to Love (The Simms Twins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Smile (The Simms Twins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou're Pickin' in the Right Cotton Patch (The Simms Twins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStay Where You Are (The Olympics)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby, It's Hot (The Olympics)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome on (Earl Nelson)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Time to Cry (Earl Nelson)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLookin' for a Love (The Valentinos)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomewhere There's a Girl (The Valentinos)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDamper (Johnnie Morisette)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeet Me at the Twistin' Place (Johnnie Morisette)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnytime, Anyplace, Anywhere (Johnnie Morisette)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHere Comes the Night (Part 1) (Jimmy Norman)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHere Comes the Night (Part 2) (Willie Moon Man Echols_\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Heebee Jeebees (Wally Cox)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can't Help It (Wally Cox)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePapa-Oom-Mow-Mow (The Rivingtons)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep Water (The Rivingtons)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Reward (The Rivingtons)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaiting (The Rivingtons)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Love I Just Lost (Beamon Young)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome Day (Beamon Young)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat Much of Your Love (Donald Woods)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemories of An Angel (Donald Woods)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll By Myself (Zeke Strong and His Queen Tones)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour Heart Must Be Made of Stone (Zeke Strong and His Queen Tones)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Is the Nite (The Valiants)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Game (The Valiants)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrieda Frieda (The Valiants)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoul Motion (Don and Dewey)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStretchin' Out (Don and Dewey)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Whole Lotta Woman (Johnnie Taylor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy, Why, Why (Johnnie Taylor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever, Never (Johnnie Taylor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRome (Wasn't Built in a Day) (Johnnie Taylor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLooking Back (Johnny Guitar Watson)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Eagle Is Back (Johnny Guitar Watson)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohnny Guitar (Johnny Guitar Watson)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCuttin' in (Johnny Guitar Watson)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Lovin' Mama (Johnny Guitar Watson)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Angels Gave You to Me (Gene and Eunice)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Mean Love (Gene and Eunice)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Ain't Guilty (The Crawford Brothers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Feels Good (The Crawford Brothers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust Like That (The Robins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOh No (The Robins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlory of Love (The Velvetones)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Love Her So (The Velvetones)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Pity You Fool (Jennell Hawkins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Worry Bout Me (Jennell Hawkins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavenly Angel (The Viscaynes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYellow Moon (The Viscaynes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncle Sam Needs You (The Viscaynes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat's All I Ask (Tommy Knight)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere's No Pain (Tommy Knight)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLucy Lee (Lloyd George)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSing Real Loud (Lloyd George)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe's All Right (Troy Walker)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Gettin' Hip (Troy Walker)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5055311001920\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Imports\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.22.14\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47248379445423,"sku":"699862","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/4112\/7599\/files\/2524815.jpg?v=1785097052","url":"https:\/\/pureliverecords.shop\/products\/soul-city-los-angeleswest-coast-gems-from-the-daw-soul-city-los-angeles-west-coast-gems-from-the-daw-music-cd","provider":"Pure Live Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
