Curtis Mayfield - Sweet Exorcist (1974)

1: Aint Got Time
2: Sweet Exorcist
3: To Be Invisible
4: Power To The People
5: Kung Fu
6: Suffer
7: Make Me Believe In You

What needs to be said about this man? One of THE greatest vocalists EVER. Smooth, funky soul, sweet as honey strings, and well, I could go on all day, but you already know how fly this shit is gonna be. This album screams of the early 70s, the politics, the sound, and even the obsession with all things kung-fu. So whether you need an album to party on to Saturday night, or to recover to on Sunday morning, this could very well be the one for you... A classic.

Dave Heroes says: Mr Superfly himself, Power to the People!

Amy Winehouse - The Ska EP (2008)

1: Monkey Man
2: Hey Little Rich Girl
3: You're Wondering Now
4: Cupid

I've always had a soft spot for Ms Winehouses music, I remember first hearing her on the Wake Up To Wogan show on Radio 2, and at first thought she was an old soul singer that I'd missed out on discovering, but no, she's a tabloid-seeking junkie who happens to make pretty fucking awesome soul music. Here tho, Amy takes us on a trip to Skaville, with 4 covers of classic songs from the original ska era. Occasionally sounds like drunken kareoke, but its still a bouncing skanking little EP that you may very well of missed out on finding...

Dave Heroes says: A trip down nostalgia lane, with a pop twist, perfect for a party...
