There was a recent PBS Special Concert featuring multiple artists from the 1970's Soul Music hits. Sister Sledge, Stylistics and so on.
They had an onstage band that just played great for every act. From upbeat songs like "We are Family" to ballads like "You make me feel brand new". This band was really good.
It was piano, guitar, bass, drum and keyboard/organ. The bass player was exceptional but I didn't get his name.
See if you can catch this PBS Special if it airs again.
It is well worth watching.

I saw some of it. I thought the band was excellent, too. In general, I thought the music sounded better than it did when it was played 50,000 times on radio way back when. Some of the singers' voices had not aged much, but their singing ability had improved. My teenage son thought it was a great show. That cracks me up!
Some of the songs I didn't think I wanted to hear again because they were played to death at one time, but I was pleasantly surprised by the way they sounded--nice arranging. --JL

"Parents are notorious for telling you not to do something, but not telling you WHAT to do instead. So here are my thoughts. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, give it a manicure. Don't burn your bridges, go out and build more! And of course, Don't run with Scissors, use them to cut out your press clippings!" -Brian Austin Whitney
