Goldsoul Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I got a call recently from a US journalist writing the full warts n all story about the iconic 45. As a former owner of the single, the journo asked me to confirm what I knew of the single's history. He then mentioned his detailed interview with Frank who spoke of the actual session in the Autumn of 1965 at Audio Arts in California. The session players were Carol Kaye, Glen Campbell, Al Delory among others. Has anyone else heard anything similar? Following his appearance in Fleetwood in 2000, FW revealed it was recorded in LA. I never realised 3 White session players were on the Worlds Rarest Soul 45!

I never realised 3 White session players were on the Worlds Rarest Soul 45! It's a fact Glen Campbell was a session musician in the 60s in LA. He also played on songs by Bobby Darin, Rick Nelson, the Monkees, Frank Sinatra and others. He moved to California from Texas in 1958. Just for the record IMO Wichita Lineman is far superior to Do I Love You
Guest Krissii Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 wow i didnt know that either... always assumed it was the funk brothers.... "Just for the record IMO Wichita Lineman is far superior to Do I Love You " yeah cant forget Rhinestone Cowboy as well... worth £8000000 on the "country" label
Steve G Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Glen Campbell also played guitar on "Tainted love" (true). He's quite a "name" in Northern soul circles.
chrissie Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 He's quite a "name" in Northern soul circles. ...............and it's easier to spell than yours QoFxx
Pete S Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Just for the record IMO Wichita Lineman is far superior to Do I Love You One of the greatest records of all time. Can't dance to it though.
Ian Parker Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Just for the record IMO Wichita Lineman is far superior to Do I Love You GC didnt write it, i believe its a Jim Webb song
Pete S Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 GC didnt write it, i believe its a Jim Webb song Jim Webb did write it but no one actually said Glen Campbell wrote it!
Simsy Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 It's a fact Glen Campbell was a session musician in the 60s in LA. He also played on songs by Bobby Darin, Rick Nelson, the Monkees, Frank Sinatra and others. He moved to California from Texas in 1958. And he was in the Beach Boys.

John Al Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 I'll stick to the Beach Boys stuff-reminds me of "Oh Carol" Rob "God Only Knows" why anyone would consider the Glenn Campbell track as soul. Awful.
Mick Holdsworth Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 follow this link to hear Glen Campbell do a bit of NORTHERN SOUL.. https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/d/171146/CAMPBELL,_GLEN Glen Campbell was also in a group called the Folkswingers, and performed on some of their many tracks - I don't know if he was in the group at the time of 'Paint It Black', but this was the version that Mr SS booted on Soul Galore as the Love Sitars. Mick
bri pinch Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 "God Only Knows" why anyone would consider the Glenn Campbell track as soul. WOULDN'T CONSIDER IT TO BE A SOUL TRACK MYSELF, BUT A NORTHERN SOUL TRACK....WELL SURE, THERE'S HUNDRED OF NORTHERN TRACKS, EVEN SOME LEGENDARY ONES THAT HAVE LITTLE OR NO SOUL CONTENT WHATSOEVER.

Pete S Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 GOOD GRIEF! why did that make the hairs on my neck stand up? Because it was so f&cking awful that it frightened you?
Guest Krissii Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 wow and here was me thinking he was just some old don williams type who else from country has had a go at soul then? i know about charlie rich... anyone else? interesting....
Pete S Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 wow and here was me thinking he was just some old don williams type who else from country has had a go at soul then? i know about charlie rich... anyone else? interesting.... Beverly Ann...
Guest Krissii Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 was she country before or after "you got your mind..."?
Guest MBarrett Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 reminds me of "Oh Carol" I was picking up a distinct vibe of early Adam Faith. If there is a single beat or note in there that is Northern Soul can somebody explain. MB
bri pinch Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 JOE STAMPLEY, DOLLY PARTON, CHARLIE RICH, JIMMY ELLEDGE ALL MADE GOOD COUNTRY AND NORTHERN RECORDS. BRI PINCH. SUNDAY CHILLOUT, 7TH JUNE. BENTINCK, BACK ROOM, 19TH JUNE.
Pete S Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 was she country before or after "you got your mind..."? all the while I think - had a big country/pop hit as Beverly Bremers too
Reg Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 wow and here was me thinking he was just some old don williams type who else from country has had a go at soul then? i know about charlie rich... anyone else? interesting.... Kenny Rogers
Guest in town Mikey Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 was she country before or after "you got your mind..."? I'd also say during. You've got your mind is a good example of a non soul, Northern Soul record. Adopted just because it fits perfectly with the style. IMO of course.
Mike Lofthouse Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 The session players were Carol Kaye, Glen Campbell, Al Delory among others. Has anyone else heard anything similar? Never mind Glen Campbell - what about Carol Kaye. It's been great to see the Funk Brothers get some long overdue credit in the past few years but Carol Kaye never seems to get a mention , have you seen the things she has played on ?

Guest Krissii Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 thats all very interesting.... ill investigate all them further then! respect to Glen Campbell then (who id always thought was a cock)
Guest Trevski Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) thats all very interesting.... ill investigate all them further then! respect to Glen Campbell then (who id always thought was a cock) Glen Campell a cock? He also kicked the sh*t out of Chuck Norris, had a threesome with Raquel Wech and Dolly Parton, Taught Hendrix to play guitar, shot the possum for John Wayne's toupe, caught Lee harvey Oswald and could eat fifteen big mac's at one sitting! Glen campbell is a God! (PS it is a little known fact that the day of recording DILY Frank Wilson had a sore throat and Glen Campbell stepped in and did the vocals!) Edited June 6, 2009 by Trevski
grantdyche Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Glen Campbell was also a hero and saved Rooster Cogburns life in "True Grit", People remember that Grant

Guest ScooterNik Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 I'd also say during. You've got your mind is a good example of a non soul, Northern Soul record. Adopted just because it fits perfectly with the style. IMO of course. Agreed.... i think the giveaway on that is the intro though, it sits better on a country track than a northern one - "Did you bring your gee-tar?"
