paup-ine Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 "Many a tear has to fall, but its all in the game" P
Jeffking Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 just has to be 'Ask the lonely' had a bit of a fur tops session toninght and the one that stands out.......................... Ask the lonely it simply breaks yer heart! try playing it at a soul night tho' philistines
Guest Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 We have played it out @ Soul Galore S25 Admitted it was tribute night for Levi but it is a classic track and a good "closure" song
Guest isis Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) "Something About You"... Edited July 6, 2009 by isis
Sean Hampsey Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 "Do What You Gotta Do" is truly magnificent Webby. There are so many Tops classics, its very hard to say which was the best - but this would be up there. Means so much to me. A true Soul record, beautifully delivered. Sean
Citizen P Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 "Do What You Gotta Do" is truly magnificent Webby. There are so many Tops classics, its very hard to say which was the best - but this would be up there. Means so much to me. A true Soul record, beautifully delivered. Sean Do what you gotta Do is amonst my favourite records of all time no question. I also submit the other side of Ask the Lonely Where Did You Go-just wonderful, what a double sider Tony
Guest miff Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Still Waters For me, just love it closely followed by, Ask the lonely / where did you go, but to be honest did Levi sing a bad song ?
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 "Loviing You Is Sweeter Than Ever" - not just their best ever Motown single, but also their best ever Motown track, full stop...
Guest Krissii Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 wow no one has said "7 rooms of gloom" how can u miss that?! good call on baby i need your loving.... slag me off if u want but i love still water (love)
Guest oldsoulgitcomes Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 So Many Good Tunes, Levi Had An Amazing Voice. But The 3 stand outs IVHMO Ask The Lonely Clip My Wings Soldier Of Love The Git
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 slag me off if u want but i love still water (love) ...what's not to love?
Kev Moore Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) " your song"..same as the dells but better I have both these and am a massive fan of The Four Tops but I have to say that The Dells version of 'Your Song' wins hands down. Best ever FT .....toooooo many. Favourite......I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) Kev Edited June 6, 2009 by Kev Moore
Guest Krissii Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 i can tell you the worst tune is catfish on abc lol
Jumpinjoan Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Must be me,and l know that 'Ask The Lonely' is very popular but l really don't like it at all, but maybe l should!? I'd say yes you should - but that would soooo soul source of me
Guest t.o.t.s.s.c Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Dont turn away...does it for me. i saw an interview with Levi and he said IF I WAS A CARPENTER was their allround greatest work. if you listen to it you cant argue.
Jumpinjoan Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Dont turn away...does it for me. Tony Diamond does the best version of this for me.
Ian Parker Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Baby i need your loving - Do what you gotta do . both amazing tunes but BINYL has quite possibly the finest vocal harmonies ever!
kevinsoulman Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 if there was any doubt shivering spinetingling midblowing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAvuieTTOVY kev
Kev Moore Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 i can tell you the worst tune is catfish on abc lol ....Loco in Accapulco
Rom1 Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 "Can't seem to get you out of my mind" ( Yesterday's dream LP & dutch 45 only) & "Where did you go"...for me
JOE TORQUAY Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 how about these two WONDERFUL BABY & Don't let him take your love from me
Steve Thomas Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 "Can't seem to get you out of my mind" ( Yesterday's dream LP & dutch 45 only) & "Where did you go"...for me WHERE DID YOU GO WONDERFULL BABY STILL WATER !! FOR ME STEVE T
Pete S Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 I can't help myself, by a country mile. Ask The Lonely...prefer Ben Browns version! Not for the singing, which is average, but the arrangement is better.
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 i saw an interview with Levi and he said IF I WAS A CARPENTER was their allround greatest work. if you listen to it you cant argue. ... well, I'm arguing, for one - it's not even the best version of "If I Were A Carpenter", let alone anything else!
Guest isis Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 QUOTE (isis @ Jun 6 09, 12:09 AM) "Something About You"... Can I change me mind and nominate "Clip My Wings" hadn't heard it for a couple of years and forgot all about it 'til Old Soul Git posted it (ta for the memory jogger, the only good thing about getting older is its like discovering tunes all over again) lovely jingly jangly guitar on the backing track...reminds me a bit of Darrell Banks "I'm The One Who Loves You".
Pete S Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 ... well, I'm arguing, for one - it's not even the best version of "If I Were A Carpenter", let alone anything else! I'm with you too, can't stand the song anyway, by anyone. Levi Stubbs has one of the greatest voice in musical history but you can't polish a turd.
Theresa Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 I know we covered all this ground when Levi Stubbs died, but I love the ones we can dance to and my favourite is I Just Can't Get You Out Of My Mind as it still packs a floor even now. Lovely Southport Saturday afternoon tune, everyone singing along. There was a nice little film clip a few minutes long about the making of Bernadette amongst the list of Motown 50 stuff that Jo Wallace posted up recently. They were seriously worried that calling a song by a specific girl's name would limit its appeal...
Guest aintgotit Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 -reach out , il be there- i,m with you on this.reach out.then bernadette,then cant seem to get you out of my mind.if i were a carpenter.shake me wake me.x
Guest Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 It has to be Shake Me Wake Me, for me, with Where Did You Go a close 2nd.
Guest the dukester Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 SINCE YOUVE BEEN GONE FLIP TO STANDING IN THE SHADOWS
Guest posstot Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 I like "LOVE BURNS LIKE FIRE"...... An underestimated track, imo. Not forgetting Penneis from heaven on riverside( which also has a beautiful mid pace-mid tempo flip, the name of which i forget!), And the columbia release Ain't that love.......two crackers from pre-Motown days. Mike
Little-stevie Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 If i were a Carpenter.. Will take that to my grave... Along with Just as long as you need me.. God bless Levi Stubbs..
Gogger Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 If i were a Carpenter.. Will take that to my grave... Along with Just as long as you need me.. God bless Levi Stubbs.. FIRST SOUL OR MOTOWN RECORD I EVER BOUGHT,STILL LOVE IT
