Picking up on the "Greatest Soul Record" theme, how about Doo-Wop? I think I love Doo-Wop because of the "human quality" of the recordings. In doo-wop the voices are all important, with minimal backing. My favourite ? The glorious "My True Story" by The Jive 5. It was a big hit in the States in the early 60s, but didn't do anything here in the UK.
