Everything that was done by this group, was classic!! My favorite is "Let no man put us sunder".

I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Like them but not this song. I actually hated it for awhile but admit when it gets to the instrumental break I can get my dance on.

Most of their records were actually known for their breaks. As a DJ, I especially love the break on "Love Thing", cutting it back and forth into itself. In fact most of the records that were made by Salsoul made with these breaks. I love them.

This may be a silly question but I gotta ask, what is Salsoul? Is it Salsa and Soul combined? If so, I don't hear it in the songs from First Choice.

It's the name of the record label.

And I love this song! My favorite from them.

I never thought about that but very true. I have/had a collection of theirs. But the lyrics and vocals of Dr. Love used to irk me for some reason.

This is a good one. First Choice in general kicks some major ass. They get a ton of play (for quite a few songs) on the Strobe.

There was also a Salsoul Orchestra. I'm not sure if the label had a definitive sound but seemed to be known for disco that more heavily featured instruments over machines and really strong vocals.

Lemme clear this up the name "Salsoul" was coined by Joe Bataan who was a Part of Salsoul records and it was Joe's Idea that led Joe and Stan Cayre to launch the label

SalSoul is a combination of the words, Salsa and Soul. Joe wanted to bring those to "genres'" together.
