Some good slow-tempo Soul?

Can anybody recommend and good slow tempo'd soul music? Most of the vinyl I own the stuff is too fast.

use the pitch control on your turntable to slow it down?

Marvin Gaye. Bill Withers.
I won't name specific records, because you should listen to all their stuff for yourself, they're great

Yeah, got a bunch of them! All nice Vinyl, but usually I tend to stay away from Marvin because he has been sampled so much.

ah, so you want good, slow tempo soul that's not been sampled to death?

now that's a different question

Yes, that is what I am after

PM me if you know any good ones.

Everything that you would classify as mainstream SOUL has sampled to hell and back but try:

O'Jay's
Curtis
Marvin
Billy Paul
try some of those one-hit wonder groups from the late 60's and 70's with full LP's
Dramatics
Chi-lites
Style-listics (sp)
Temptrees

Blue Magic are the best! One of my favorite groups to sample.

Philly soul but it's have been sampled a lot!
Also Tower of Power who is considered funk but has a lot of slow soul-influenced songs!
