(Volume 3)\u003c\/em\u003e, a carefully curated compilation assembled by renowned soul authority Dave Godin. Originally released in 2000 on Kent, the third instalment in Godin’s acclaimed series brings together 25 tracks celebrating the expressive intensity and diversity of deep soul and R\u0026amp;B. The original CD release appeared as Kent catalogue number CDKEND 200.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDave Godin was a hugely influential champion of Black American soul music in Britain, known for his passionate writing, encyclopaedic knowledge and commitment to recordings that deserved wider recognition. His \u003cem\u003eDeep Soul Treasures\u003c\/em\u003e series reflected a particular understanding of the genre: deep soul was not simply a matter of slow tempos or melancholy ballads, but music distinguished by the passion, conviction and intensity of its performers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVolume 3 captures that philosophy through an absorbing selection of established names, exceptional vocalists and less familiar recordings. The line-up spans the commanding presence of James Brown and Bobby Womack, the unmistakable voices of Etta James and Irma Thomas, and the distinctive artistry of performers including Toussaint McCall, Bessie Banks, Doris Duke and Bettye LaVette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is plenty here for listeners drawn to the emotional heart of Southern soul, classic R\u0026amp;B and vintage soul ballads, alongside fans who enjoy discovering overlooked corners of the music. Etta James’s enduring “I’d Rather Go Blind” sits alongside James Brown’s “Lost Someone”, while Syl Johnson’s “Is It Because I’m Black” brings a socially conscious dimension to a collection that explores soul’s capacity for both intimate heartbreak and wider reflection. Other highlights include Toussaint McCall’s “I’m Undecided”, Irma Thomas’s “Wish Someone Would Care” and Doris Duke’s “He’s Gone”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compilation also showcases the breadth of soul’s vocal traditions, from solo performances steeped in vulnerability to group recordings shaped by the rich harmonies and arrangements of the era. The result is a varied journey through classic soul, balancing familiar favourites with selections that reward deeper listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor dedicated deep soul enthusiasts, collectors of vintage R\u0026amp;B and anyone exploring the music beyond its best-known hits, Dave Godin’s \u003cem\u003eDeep Soul Treasures (Taken From The Vaults...) (Volume 3)\u003c\/em\u003e offers a thoughtfully assembled portrait of the genre’s emotional power.
