Soulman

I thought I had a pretty good idea of the various covers the Modfather has performed over the years, his covers album Studio 150 being a bit of a favourite of mine. But somehow or other it had escaped my attention that he'd done the business with a Marvin Gaye classic. If his live performance of What's Goin' On doesn't seriously rock your boat there's something wrong with you.

Oh, and this surely puts an end to the ludicrous myth of cultural appropriation. If Mr Weller isn't a serious soul brother I honestly don't know who is.
