A friend made me a mixed cd for my birthday and it included two great juke joint dance songs that I had never heard before. I have logged several hours dancing to this cd and am now wondering what your favorite soul dance songs are...

I found:

Doris Troy WHATCHA GONNA DO 'BOUT IT and
Dee Dee Sharp RIDE

Shirley Ellis - The Clapping Song (Clap Pat Clap Slap)
Wendy Rene - Bar-B-Q
Inez & Charlie Foxx - Hurt By Love

I also just heard the whole album Edwin Starr - SOUL MASTER

side two fo that record is FABULOUS soul.

I love the line, 'I am the soul master, the one they named soul AFTER'
