Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

I heard a b side from an obscure 80s LA soul man you’ve played before Dalton Reed but not this song
Giving on into Love. Really liked it.

Nice! Thought I had clicked WFMU Ichiban by accident. Hey there!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:10pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I thought I had searched his name and found that you, Mr Fine Wine and maybe someone else had played him but now can’t find anything. I must have confused my searches. Still a solid song.

Nice Pitney, her had an edge I didn't know about. Hi folks!

Gene Pitney edge provided by Swamp Dogg on that track

Matt from New Orleans:

Who knows it was probably a different track from a different artist that I searched earlier when listening to the show I was listening to. I’m getting confused easily these days. I probably should write things down if I want to remember them.

This Flirtations single, man...

when I was first dipping my toes into the world of Northern Soul and soul 45s in general ... this Flirtations track really got me.

Enjoying the tunes. Thanks! Just housed an enormous platter of chicken fried rice while tapping toes.

JtotheK:

(for a very long time I was incredibly intimidated by 45s, hence this show, Fine Wine, F16C, Doug, Sheila B, Danny, etc etc etc - there are tracks every show every week that are new to me!)

Kris Holmes:

Flirtations was also one of my earliest Northern spins

There's a cover I wouldn't have guessed would work, but Prysock is killing it!

Nothing But A Heartache struck something in me that at first I couldn't pinpoint. Then it came to me! After school dance party at my junior high school that I timidly poked my head into.

45s, or as I like to call them, "the ultimate format"

Arthur Prysock has a few killers buried amongst the schmaltz, that being one of them
