Richard Searling - Hot 100 Modern Soul 45s Pt.1 (100-85)


Here's a nice little treat by way of a change. Richard Searling's latest Rare & Well Done show on which he has just started a series of The Hot 100 Modern Soul 45s. Here's the first episode featuring the first fifteen of them.

Part 2 (#84-#69)
Part 3 (#68-#49)
Part 4 (#53-#38)


I'm sure I don't really need to list the tracks but for newcomers to modern soul here it is:
There are some absolute 'peaches' amongst them, many now commanding well into four figures on original vinyl.
