132.0. "Who's for soul?" by FORTY2::MOORE (Paul Moore, 7-830-4267, RE02 E/F2) Tue Feb 04 1992 08:05

I've just seen the film "The Committments" (set in my hometown, BTW - don't you
all want to visit last year's European City of Culture for your holidays ;<) ). 

Where can I find out more about this music? Anyone got a recommended intro list?

Thanks, Paul

    There's a CD out that collects the original versions of all the songs
    the film covered (the title includes the word "Commitments" -- "Before
    the Commitments" or something like that?).  I saw it at Tower-Cambridge
    on Sunday, looked like a good collection.
    
    There are many good collections of the Atlantic & Stax artists among
    those covered in the movie -- for example, Vol.6 of a series of single
    CDs called "Atlantic Rhythm & Blues".  You might find more pointers in
    the AKOFIN::AFTER_HOURS (Blues and R&B) conference; a couple of noters
    were raving about another single disc of Atlantic soul highlights.  - Jay

    Wow, there are plenty of places to start, but .1 just gave you
    two of the best...the Atlantic Series is particularly fantastic.
    
    Rhino Records also has a series called Soul Shots, which covers much of
    the same ground.  Rhino has also released a 14 volume series of 70's
    soul music (I can't recall the series title).
