Paul Weller has curated a 26-track compilation for Ace Information known as That Candy Candy Music, that includes a few of his favorite soul cuts from the likes of Betty Davis, Child Huey, Richie Havens, Syl Johnson and The Dells.
“Years earlier than I went out in search of soul music, it discovered me,” writes Weller within the liner notes. “Soul soundtracked my adolescence. I crammed the C90 tapes we swapped with our mates and the mixtapes we typically did to impress women… it feels bizarre to me that the act of placing collectively a easy mixtape is one thing you possibly can’t do any extra. So the chance to place collectively this assortment is doubly welcome.”
