Gorgeous bittersweet house anthems

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed
Looking for tunes along the lines of Shakedown's classic 'At Night', and 'One More Time'....house that can bring a tear of happiness to one's eye, exultant to the point where that joy begins to become mixed with pathos. I've heard whole sets of such songs before, but have been unable to track many of them down.

urban shakedown - some justice

best record ever, of course

More like jubilant than bittersweet then, right? More on the funky tip?

ADNY- "What If I Love" (One of my all time favorites. Will YSI upon request. Gorgeous track!)
Junior Jack- "My Feeling"
Bel Amour- "Bel Amour"
Chez Damier- "Close" (Derrick Carter mix)
Demon vs. Heartbreaker- "You Are My High"
Soul Vision- "Tracy in My Room" (fantastic reshape of EBTG's "Wrong")
Superfunk- "Lucky Star"
Davina- "Don't You Want It"
Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam- "Let the Beat Hit 'Em" (To LL With Love RC mix)
Roy Davis Jr.- "Gabriel"

Some newer ones from last year:
Fred Everything- "Studio C"
Only Freak- "Can't Get Away" (Solid Groove Mix)

Don't listen to that much vocal house anymore really, but these are still lurking about in my iTunes folder.

This describes every great house track ever.

Therefore this thread = redundant.

Jesus, what bollocks. I forgot how obsessed with oneupmanship some people are on this board.

To the rest of you, thanks for the recommendations.

two weeks pass...
I guess this is as good and radom place as any to ask this, but does anyone have a clue what happened to Sterling Void? I could listen to "It's Alright" for a large portion of each day and be quite happy.
