Listen\/Download Funky16Corners 10th Anniversary Pt3 – Ballads<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Greetings all<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Best Of” week continues.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As I referenced in Monday’s post, big things are afoot, and thanks to some free time and research on my part they seem to be happening at a slightly faster pace that previously thought.<\/p>\n

I can’t divulge all yet, but the streamlining\/improvements in the operation continue apace.<\/p>\n

This year’s Allnighter\/fundraiser will likely begin with a grip of new guest mixes toward the end of June. The roster in past years has always been outstanding, and I can assure we have some more heat for you this year.<\/p>\n

So dig this mix, and I’ll see you all on Friday.<\/p>\n

KTF<\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome to day three of the 10th Anniversary thing.<\/p>\n

While I know that you all dig your soul upbeat and danceable, I couldn\u2019t very well put together collections of my favorite stuff without stopping to consider the ballads.<\/p>\n

In fact, to try to illustrate the greatness of soul music without touching on the deep side of things would be a fool\u2019s errand.<\/p>\n

To many people, these are the kind of records that make for great soul music; big, dramatic performances, expressing love \u2013 sought out, or lost \u2013 tragedy, tribute and longing.<\/p>\n

What I found interesting after putting this mix together, is how many of the performers included were truly versatile, able to deliver a deep ballad, yet also capable (as is illustrated by their appearances in other mixes in this week\u2019s line-up) of working the upbeat (even funky) side of things as well.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of heavy, heavy records in this mix, so turn the lights down low, cuddle up with someone you love (or the memory of someone you\u2019ve lost) and feel the soul.<\/p>\n

See you on Friday<\/p>\n

Also, make sure to follow Funky16Corners<\/strong> on Instagram<\/strong><\/a>, Twitter<\/strong><\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
