KTF Baz OK - I'm bored of these "I can't pick a top ten" comments - blah, blah, blah Please just choose your all time ever (and forever) top 1 (that's ONE) record. No evasion, obfuscation, procrastination, or indecisiveness please. ONE TOP RECORD EACH AND THAT'S IT - ONE VISIT ONLY PLEASE, SO GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT! OK mine is: Jackey Beavers - Love That Never Grows Old (Revilot) Cheers Richard Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

ajb Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Always thought this one was a bit underated as it has a great feel to it - although I think it could do without the tommy gun bit in the lyrics.

I'm Gone - Eddie Parker "my top record ever "changes all the time but my bf (not a soulie) loves this lately and often sings it, "if you think that your the big wheel ill show you what daddy can do" ,perhaps incorrectly?. hearing it again from his perspective has made it, for probably the 100th time , my favourite again. like sweeny i think it "encompasses everything thats great" i particulally love the lyrics and eddie parkers lyrical inflections . im not really a fan of the down tempo string laden sounds and prefer the powerhouse stuff like this . and lastly this is NOT RnB lol . soul at its greatest Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Goldwax Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Too Much Pain - Eugene Evans on King. Cos it's pure stripped down raw Soul music dripping with more angst than you could shake a stick at. Reputably backed by the JB's themselves and the quality of horn and bass gives us no reason suppose otherwise. Vocal intensity turned right up to 10 and a tune that just builds and builds.

Mark Bicknell Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Said it before so I'll say it again pretty close to perfection Northern wise has to be George Blackwell - Can't Lose My Head - Smoke, has it all for me, perfect backbeat, stunning lead vocal as he sings from his boots, timeless classic, rare and pretty much sums up what quality rare soul is all about, of course there are many more up there with this but for me GB shades it everytime.

Goodbye Nothin' To Say- Nosmo King And The Javells Bloody hell that was brave (although I have to admit to having a soft spot for it myself). Admitting that on here must surely be as tough as standing in your lounge at home as a misunderstood teenager, looking your mum and dad straight in the eye and saying "Mum, Dad, I've got something to tell you".
