Usually songs built off the same chord progression will sound very similar.

A good example is Madonna's "Express Yourself" and Lady Gaga's "Born This Way".
Some people complain that parts of Lady Gaga's song sounds too much like a ripoff of Express Yourself.

*push*

Searching for similar music (what genre is that!?): Dr. John - My children, my angels

I'm not sure if it's similar at all, but Toshinobu Kubota is
pretty much considered the father of Japanese Soul Music.

He sang "Love Rain", which was the theme song for a Japanese drama:

@TwoMoreCharacters: Thanks for your efford searching and posting the links, but unfortunately I cannot listen to none of your songs because I'm living in Germany :s

@HyperBorea: Same here. I cannot listen to the song on youtube, but I will look it up somewhere else. Thank you! "Fade Out Lines - Phoebe Killdeer & The Short Straws" from the film Colombiana is good I find:)

I've always found it to be a bitch to find reliable proxy servers. If even youtube is this bad in your country maybe it would be good to invest in - what's it called - a VPS server? I know there's a user on here that spoke a lot about using a Japanese one that he found really rewarding.

@TwoMoreCharacters: Ok, I got Proxtube (a useful firefox addon as I find) to work again properly or rather, it got some update again and I could listen to your recommendations and I have to say that is exactly what I've been looking for Thank you so much!

Hey folks,

lately my preferences for music is changing a lot and I'm glad I was introduced James Brown. I wonder if someone knows a track that is similar to this one: http://youtu.be/VKPiBeZOkxg

With "similar" I mean: it needs to have an organ in the background, it has to be melodic, emotional and preferrebly be in minor:D

I appreciate your advise/suggestions.

I missed this topic before but someone revived it today.
Good taste there mate! I'm not a fan of that type of music, but that was such a great performance, the singer's voice and feel were amazing, his feeling and performance show how deep that song is! And I admire not knowing the genre because I believe that beautiful music is beautiful regardless of genres, so not confining yourself for a certain genre is admirable! Thanks for posting it here. (BTW, the deepness of it reminded me of Maggot Brain by Eddie Hazel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh3bleXWaCk which he was told to write while having the feeling of after being told his mother just died!)

Check this out, it shows related artists and bands to one of your choice: http://audiomap.tuneglue.net/ Search for an artist the n click his node and select expand, then you can do the same with other 'nodes'.

EDIT: BTW, Organ has become by second most favorite instrument, it gives a very strong atmosphere! And its sustain has big impact!
