Listen to: Kim Weston with Marvin Gaye – It Takes Two
Arthur Conley – Sweet Soul Music
I swear I would have heard “Sweet Soul Music” somewhere before researching this year but for the life of me, I can’t figure out where. It’s a film maybe? It doesn’t feature on a compilation I’ve ever owned. On the other hand, “It Takes Two” is one of the songs. Arthur Conley’s ode to Soul’s greats might be comparable to the turmeric in my kitchen (do I have that? I can’t remember) which would make Kim Weston’s (alongside Marvin Gaye) hit like paprika. I know it, I love it, I don’t reach for it every time but it’s always there. Sure, Scott Mackenzie might wanna give you advice on San Franciscan fashion and I do enjoy Fiddler On The Roof, but these two do it for me.
