Ian Parker Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I have faith in you. move along, theres nothing else to see here B)
Dave Thorley Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 He made many great records and to highlight one as the best is un-realistic. But I must say one of my favs is 'Don't tell me I'm crazy' A great guy and a great voice Dave
mischief Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Top singer... lately i've been playing out "I'm so in to you" so thats me fav at the mo

Tabs Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I'll be the smart arse - which SOS Just hang on a cotten-picking-minute, how come this topic has been going for about 30 mins and S.O.S has not had a mention? Even though it's the epitome of northern soul
Guest rasfoz Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 BACK STREET or YOU'RE MY MELLOW Richard Got agree with the above superb
Guest jobete Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 For me, it's got to be "Love (the lonely peoples prayer)" lyrically gorgeous, & a lovley tune to boot Spyk
Baz Atkinson Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 For me, it's got to be "Love (the lonely peoples prayer)" lyrically gorgeous, & a lovley tune to boot Spyk YOUVE GOT GOOD TASTE BROTHER ,HOPE YOUR WELL MATE. BAZ A
Guest Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Agent Double OO Soul & 24 Hours To Find My Baby First one so cool as a 16 year old lol 2nd one as an under rated gem off the 25 miles album
Jim Elliott Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 So many tunes but the one I always go back to on record room nites is 'Stay with me' on Granite, 'She should have been home' from the War and Peace album is rather tremendous as well. Sadly missed. Jim
Guest Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Ooh it's good, but always thought that it was difficult to dance to but l love it...And what was it the flip-side of? Cos l can't remember Tiss the flip side of time, both top tunes but this coulld be a long list, was a great performer aswell
Guest Dante Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 SOS / I Have Faith In You Headline News is a close contender, and also like I Just Wanted To Cry, but the first record is my definitive desert island northern 45...
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 No one mentioned 25 miles have they but my all time fav is Stop on Sight it moves me when i hear it all the time pure class
Garswood Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 his cuts on the granite label seem to be a long way from his northern tracks but all are wonderful soul tracks. running back and forth-my fave and quite partial to my kind of woman

Johnmcc Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 It's gotta be a Ric Tic one - "I Have Faith In You" just takes it for me. Ooh, I'm 15 again, It's Thursday and I'm late for school cos I'm waiting for the postman to bring this weeks Soulbowl list.
steve Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I have faith in you and my weakness is you But lets not forget, contact and happy radio both massives hits for him
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Not his actual best - think I'd probaly have to plump for "I have Faith In You" - but the UK-recorded "It Ain't Fair", which Edwin cut for Peter Stringfellow's Hippodrome label in the mid 80s, is certainly among his best-ever releases....
Guest s0ul45 Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) Too many to choose from but you're right there Tony about 'It Ain't Fair', a wonderful record with a lyric that some of us can even empathise!! If I wanted to play an Edwin record for myself it will always be 'If My Heart Could Tell The Story'. It's the sincerity that gets ya. Edited June 4, 2009 by s0ul45
Epic Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 his cuts on the granite label seem to be a long way from his northern tracks but all are wonderful soul tracks. "Eavesdropper" is a particular fave for me on the Granite label. "I Have Faith In You" from his sixties period - pure class !!
Supercorsa Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Not his actual best - think I'd probaly have to plump for "I have Faith In You" - but the UK-recorded "It Ain't Fair", which Edwin cut for Peter Stringfellow's Hippodrome label in the mid 80s, is certainly among his best-ever releases....

If I wanted to play an Edwin record for myself it will always be 'If My Heart Could Tell The Story'. It's the sincerity that gets ya. I bought this at the time of release, also got "soul singer" at same time. If I remember rightly a sort of biographical type song. But my first choice of best Edwin track would have to be.. I Have Faith In You, simply superb!
Guest wrightypaul36 Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 For me, it's got to be "Love (the lonely peoples prayer)" lyrically gorgeous, & a lovley tune to boot Spyk HIYA SPYK,HOP[E YOUR WELL, THREE FROM ME WOULD BE- DONT TELL ME IM CRAZY. - WAY OVER THERE.AND FROM THE ALBUM WAR AND PEACE. -I CANT ESCAPE YOUR MEMORY.

Guest Richard Bergman Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) I have always loved his "I'm still a strugglin' man" Edited June 4, 2009 by Richard Bergman
Gary Samways Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I have always loved his "strugglin' man" absolutely richard! "...tell all your high fellutin' friends we just can't compete, it's only been a little while and i just got on my feet..." magic
Guest Richard Bergman Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 absolutely richard! "...tell all your high fellutin' friends we just can't compete, it's only been a little while and i just got on my feet..." magic and will cost you a price of a day travelcard.
Dave Thorley Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 "Eavesdropper" is a particular fave for me on the Granite label. "I Have Faith In You" from his sixties period - pure class !! Also 'Stay with me' on Granite is a nice track, love the long single note sax intro.

Guest Lucas Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Just so many to choose from ! But for me it has got to be: - I Have Faith In You - If My Heart Could Tell The Story - 24 Hours To Find My Baby - Love (The Lonely People's Prayer) - Running Back And Forth Thank you, and RIP Edwin - you remain in our hearts and souls
Algsoul Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Just so many to choose from !

Ian Seaman Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Without doubt his best outing has to be, "Don't it feel good to be free" Motown M1284F from 1973 , pure midtempo xover magic. if you don't know this shame on you Ian.
