Guest Soultown andy Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Soul, colour him father,o c smith non soul, jesamine the casuals elvis,my boy
Drew3 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Thought long and hard about this as I suspect most have but finally decided on Bettye Swann......... Make me Yours. It's got everything and makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up each time I hear it!!!!! KTF. Drew.
Dave Rimmer Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 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". Ahh yes, but how many, as soon as they read the post immediately sang the chorus in their mind.......I know I did !
Guest Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Ahh yes, but how many, as soon as they read the post immediately sang the chorus in their mind.......I know I did !
Little-stevie Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Very difficult - but here goes Cissy Houston He-I believe/I'll be there Major Minor Manus I'll be there Major Minor.... Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure soul indeed Manus... Respect x
paup-ine Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Dammit, there's so many good ones. George Blackwell & Shirly Lawson I know I got to stick with my choice! P
Guest KEN-SOUL Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Carstairs - It really hurts Pete Smith Wigan at its best MY MATE AT THE NITERS USED TO SAY THE CARSTAIRS WAS "TOO SLOW" TO DANCE TO? AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO APOLOGISE TO PETE FOR CALLING HIM "MAD". SORRY PETE, I DIDN'T MEAN MAD I MEANT BONKERS! IT'S NOT REALLY FAIR TO CHOSE ONE RECORD, AS THEY CHANGE THROUGH TIME: "WHEN YOUR LONESOME" "MEAN IT BABY" "CRYING OVER YOU" "BELIEVE IT OR NOT" "I CAN'T SEE HIM AGAIN" "WHERE I'M NOT WANTED" "IF THATS WHAT YOU WANTED".......
Soulfreak Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Trippin' On Your Love - The Staple Singers. Even though I've played this track to death over the years, when I haven't played it for a while then put it on again it floors me every time. Mavis' finest hour... Martin.
Ernie Andrews Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 crackin up - roy hamilton, just a pity theres not a version by elvis as for non soul u2-one non soul lp bat out of hell Bat Out of hell was produced or mixed by Todd Rundgren who played on some tracks and co-wrote some. The Title Bat out of hell -came from a song in the Album by Todd rundgrens Utopia(Adventurers in Utopia) "Shot in the dark" Last verse last line - Mama took off like a "Bat out of Hell" Just some useless musical information that I need my arse kicking for!
Pete S Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Bat Out of hell was produced or mixed by Todd Rundgren who played on some tracks and co-wrote some. The Title Bat out of hell -came from a song in the Album by Todd rundgrens Utopia(Adventurers in Utopia) "Shot in the dark" Last verse last line - Mama took off like a "Bat out of Hell" Just some useless musical information that I need my arse kicking for! Not as much as Gary does for suggesting it
Freebie Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Despite what it says in my profile (Never had a love so good-Charles Johnson), I think the one record that would keep my spirits up on a desert island would be "I love her so much it hurts - The Majestics", a fantastic intro and upbeat tune that you just couldn't help to feel lifted by.
Guest BIG H Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 FAVORITE NORTHERN IS TOWANDA BARNES - YOU DONT MEAN IT, SHE JUST SINGS THE F**K OUT THAT SONG FAVORITE SOUTHERN SOUL TOUSSAINT McCALL - NOTHING TAKES THE PLACE OF YOU........ DEEP AS SLEEP
arnie j Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Trippin' On Your Love - The Staple Singers. Even though I've played this track to death over the years, when I haven't played it for a while then put it on again it floors me every time. Mavis' finest hour... Martin. top choice bud

The Title Bat out of hell -came from a song in the Album by Todd rundgrens Utopia(Adventurers in Utopia) "Shot in the dark" Last verse last line - Mama took off like a "Bat out of Hell" Just some useless musical information that I need my arse kicking for! i always thought that mr loaf was a replacement artist & the lp( bat out of hell) was originally to be released by jim steinman , i had another lp by js that was not dissimilar to bat out of hell, by js cant remember the title though or was it just a urban myth gaz
Gary Samways Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 what more do you want-gene toones, no matter how many times i hear it the hairs on the neck thing always gets going, perfect record
ricticman Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Fantastic record like a rolling stone - bob dylan This old heart of mine - Isley Bros [ the record that got me into this feckin glorious mess ] pete lyster
Douglas Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Rare Soul track "You Got It" - The Dealers, Non Soul track "Drop The Pilot" - Joan Armatrading, Both records have brilliant vocals and lyrics.
ChrisOD1964 Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 For me it would be - The Winstons - Colour Him Father. chris
Gary Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Just to keep you satisfied - Marvin Gaye. Always comes back.
cloth ears Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 earl wright.....thumb a ride if only there was a vocal!!!
Guest sandi Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Not fair , so many to choose from and all of them favorites for varying reasons. So l'm afraid l'd have to settle for listening to non and just sing my head off everyday.
Garswood Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 For me it would be - The Winstons - Colour Him Father. chris can i have that as well even though i said "to the ends of the earth"..no, oh well just got the version by the naturals-great version
Guest Ranger Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 This week Walter Jackson - It's an Uphill Climb To The Bottom. Just oozes emotion Next week could be totally different. Kev
Guest Sharon Mckinstry Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 George Freeman - Down and out. Gets me every time
BrianB Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 I know it says one track, but I honestly cannot separate Frankie Beverley if Thats What You Wanted, and Love, Love, Love. Bobby Hebb Motown is Stevie Wonder's version of I Hear a Symphony. I can't even admit to myself which is the best.
Jim Elliott Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 The Impressions 'My deceiving heart'. Nothing else comes close. Jim

Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Sam Cooke - Sugar Dumpling (RCA Victor) nothing beats it
Mark Oliver Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Ringleaders acetate: All of my life / I'd like to win you over Mark.
Guest mrs norman maine Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I'd like to be on the same desert island as the people who chose Eddie Parker please. And then I can have Oscar Wright 'Fell in Love'
JOHNNYBETCHA Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 like a rolling stone - bob dylan This old heart of mine - Isley Bros [ the record that got me into this feckin glorious mess ] pete lyster This Old Heart Of Mine was probably the record that got me into it as well - first heard it in the King Mark disco in Newquay in 1968 on holiday and I was hooked, line and sinker - them fellas cost me a small fortune! I could have bought me a castle with the money i've spent since then! If youre like me you change your mind as the years go on - I remember creaming myself over the Invitations and getting blown away at the Catacombs by That Beatin' Rythmn but if I had to choose it'd probably be The Marvelettes I'll Keep Holding On - has this got the shortest intro ever?!!
Alan Pollard Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 The Isley Brothers - Who could ever doubt my love - Tamla Motown - STUNNING. Regards Alan
Guest isis Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 The Creations "A Dream" - Zodiac...but then anything written, sung, produced, arranged or even breathed on by Fred Bridges is the Bassets assets.
Guest elnel Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Mel Britt She,ll come running back perfection in every department.
Guest Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Stormy The Supremes fantastic song on its own and easier to dance to at my our
Soft Walker Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 No hesitation on my fave......Tony Galla "In Love". The lyrics, for me, really sum up how it feels to be in love. "I don't know where I'm going, don't know what I'm gonna do............etc. Great record to dance to to top it off. I just hope once I turn up at this desert island I can find a turntable!!!!
