Soul Diggin': Lost Grooves & Forgotten Gems Vol. 3



As a record collector and music editor, living in Amsterdam, I spend a lot of time in record stores all around the world. Last years I visited small independent shops in L.A., San Francisco, Las Vegas, Cape Town, Berlin, New York and Barcelona - perfect places to find rare vinyl records. Those diggin’ adventures inspired me to start ’Soul Diggin’, a mixtape with lost grooves and forgotten soul-gems from the 60s, 70s and 80s. On this third part I selected by tracks by The Five Stairsteps, Camille Yarbrough, Father's Children, Tyrone Davis, Enchantment and many more.

The Washington, D.C.-based group Father's Children are best known for their 1979 self-titled Mercury album and the non-charting single Hollywood Dreaming. The album and single were co-produced by Wayne Henderson and Father's Children's then de facto leader, Augie Johnson. Father's Children were originally known as the Dreams, a 60s high-school doo-wop vocal trio. In 1973 they changed their name to Father's Children.
