Where Have All The Soul Men Gone ?

Monday Monday ,so good for me...........
I've been on the phone to our friends in BT's call centre sorting out my Broadband/Phone line problems so forgive the delay ....I realize that already this blog has become essential reading for you .
 Well how was your weekend ? It looks like autumn has well and truly arrived doesn't it ? It's pouring with rain ,blowing a gale.......winter draw(er)s on ,what a thought !
 Still as the weather gets c old and dark and miserable  what better way to spend the evening than falling in love with music all over again !
 Man cannot live on X-Factor,Corrie,Eastenders and countlesss cooking programmes alone....give me something to raise my spirits,something to bring joy and something to dance to !
 This brings me to today's question .....just where have all the Soul men gone ? I don't mean crap like Taio Cruz , Jay Sean etc I mean great artists like Marvin,Teddy ,yesterday's featured artist Billy Paul ,Al Green and so on ?
 I was lucky enough to see Marvin Gaye live twice and I saw Teddy Pendergarss''s last show before the tragic accident that confined him to a wheelchair . The sexual charisma of these guys was incredible....the atmosphere in the auditorium was bordering on hysteria and women as around me were whipped into a frenzy of lust.......it was brilliant and what real Soul is all about !
 Although not in the same class as the  aforementioned greats there is one guy who is still making Sweet Soul  Music and has a terrific album out now ......Dwele .
 He'a been making albums since 2003 when he released " Subject " ,still well worth listening too , and his current album "W.antsW.orldW.omen " ( GREAT title ) is a really good Soul album ,possibly one for the ladeeez more than us fellas but a good listen nonetheless.
 If any of you readers want to bring an artist to my attention please do.........I lover to hear new music so will check out any recommendations
 Take a brolly x
