[Shelley "SoleMann" King]

Now i'm loving these pics....Reminds me so much of Soul to Soul

[Edie Antoinette]

Thanks for responding SoleBaby7...I marvel at Marie and that wonderful haven of sound..you can find any and everything there. I didn't want to leave..lol

When I come to your city I will HAVE to visit Soul to Soul!!

I added more dusties to our playlist too..plus I decided to put the playlist here as well. It's too good to miss..lol

[Lydell Jackson]

Man!!! these photos and the play list are great!!! Thanks for remembering Sistah E! Every African American community in America had a record store that was part of it's cultural center. Second to the Barber Shop and Church (LOL). I had almost forgotten about that. I love the Store Front Signs. I might want to use one of these images as inspiration for the background of a painting...Do you have more?

[Edie Antoinette]

Thanks L! I am digging through my hordes of treasures (LOL)...for the rest. "Why...WHY can't I be smart and organize stuff better???" Same with my music. I have such a collection, but un-catalogued. Just straight ridiculous. Case in point...I have purchased stuff several times, forgetting that I ..already have it!!!! Pitiful!!! LOL

But I'll be back with more store front shots when I locate. In the meantime, feel free to use what's here. I'm working on a series: Black Owned Record Stores and Labels...starting with Vee-Jay.

And Marie is a 'sister' btw. I almost jumped out of my skin when I found out--and she has the GOODS!!!! Whew!!!! Her catalogue is in her brain! I would be like...I been looking for 'such-in-such' for a million years..do you have it Marie? She would know just where it was and on what compilation or CD..and all the facts about the artist!!! Mind...b o g g l i n g!!!!!

And I thought I was the only one that bought a CD, only to discover later I already had it. That just burns me up. LOL Thanks for the pics. Looks just like my kind of place. I was listening to "If I Didn`t Love You" by Chuck Jackson. I hadn`t heard that gem since it came out back in the 60`s. Made my day. :)

[Edie Antoinette]

...yeah Gene..talk about looking crazy when I duplicate purchases! I don't have it like that!!! LOL I usually end up giving the extra copy to one of my kids..smh They be lovin it though :)

Glad that Chuck Jackson made your day. I'm adding things gradually, so enjoy and let me know if you want any of the tracks. And OOTP has the nerve to have 8 tracks!!!! They were so big and clunky but we carried our stash of em around nonetheless..lol

[Lydell Jackson]

The Jackson 5..."I Found That Girl!" *GIGANTIC FLASH BACK*..."Can I"- Vee Allen...*OMG* ... "California Dreamin" Jose Feliciano!!! I had forgotton about so many of these...The soundtrack of our lives...a beautiful thang!
Thanks E

[Edie Antoinette]

"The soundtrack of our lives...." beautifully put. So so true. I'm trying to be balanced and not spend all day here singing and rocking with delight. LOL

Thanks for that tight J5 pic too L!!!!

[Edie Antoinette]

I love me some Main Ingredient! Remember #10? Euphrates??? Jam!

[Old School C]
