James was feeling a little slow and mellow for this episode, so he picked some great 1960s soul, crossover, and R&B tunes that slow down the tempo and keep it gentle, while still giving you something to dance to. This is a whole show of midtempo soul, steppers, shuffles, and beat ballads on 45 rpm vinyl. You'll hear Kim Weston, Lee Rogers, Carla Thomas, Arthur Alexander, James Carr, Irma Thomas, and more!
