ah now i see male group harmonies are not soul :lol: ..cant see any trees let alone any woods :ohmy:

and i am shocked at the ammount of blatant flirting going on here :ohmy: ..get a room mr bicknell for your group fingy thumbsup.gif

:ohmy:

Yes group harmonies are soul - very much - but the statement was in relation to the Rockmasters and evidence of doo-wop on the record

This is the typical soul source way , to take something out of context away from the thread in question and to invent a moral highground for yourself :P

The Primers, How Does It Grab You came to my mind spouse #3, but that's about as likely to get a mention on this thread as Clean Up the Ghetto. thumbsup.gif

Barbara Trent - A woman was made for a man (same label but way rarer)

Not a funk record my friend, although since I played it as a cover up down the phone a few yrs ago to a couple of UK funk dj's, one of whom posts here, who were looking for Heartbreak Hotel thinking it was rare just to let them know they still had a lot to learn, when they eventually tracked down it got played by them at funk nights. But it's an r'n'b / jazz vocal, she actually gets second billing on the label to the Richie Corbin Trio who were the jazz combo whose record it actually is.

Dave,

That record in you're aviator (Trini Lopez)- Is that an R&B track - the only track I know on the label (Great graphics) is Jay Lewis - Love is Real. I can't stop playing it out - though its not for a northern club.

any chance of a sound clip?

Well I can see how it makes appeal on both scenes, and I have to say I enjoy both types of music, but I'd call it more funk than RnB....but hell, does it matter....great sound.

And it seems as if you may have played a hand in us hearing it for the first time, so good on ya blush.gif

I posted earlier about a funk DJ having Jimmy Robbins in his box...what do you make of that one then? king.gif

I really do wonder sometimes if people on this forum listen to the same record(s) as I do  king.gif The above track is laden with so much harmony and group dynamics that it could easily be (and too a larger extent is) doo-wop and I think your ignorance of this fact shows how blinkered and unreasonably precious you guys are - The phrase wood for the trees mean anything ??

link

"COULD easily be, or to a larger extent IS doo wop",... make your mind up! blush.gif

So much harmony and group dynamics!,.. what like The Temps, Four Tops,

Empires, Voltaires, Dramatics, Appreciations,.......I could go on but I might slip on the leaves! :no:

Thanks Dave,

I like the track, but its got a pop edge. Do you know the Jay Lewis - Love is Real on the same label? Fantastic heavy club R&B, worth a listen if you're open to R&B.

Your 'evidence' was group harmonies and group dynamics.

Let's not fall out over it, you think it's doo wop, I think it's Soul.

Nothing out of context there. It's only opinions, no right or wrongs, just opinions.

Dave, that avatar of yours, a copy of Trini Lopez "Sinner Not A Saint" on DRA ... I've never seen it on that label! blush.gif Fantastic tune in my opinion. My US copy is on United Modern. It apparently also got some euro and UK issues. What's the catalogue number on your DRA copy? Trini's other 45 on DRA is from 1961, and the United Modern issue is from 1965 so I guess that the DRA copy is the original. Any info would be nice.

By the way, love Jessie Mae's "Don't Freeze On Me" on DRA, nice storming piece of r&b.

Crossed over??!!!

This stuff should be crossed out, scratched, deleted, trashed, binned..........it ain't soul...........jeez! it ain't even Northern..............it's horrible........I'd rather hear the old pop stompers than this..............bring back Kiki Dee.............Barbara Redd, Betty O'Brien, Larry Trider, Pearl Woods................leave it where it belongs..........with the Teds and the Mods (my brother and sister were Mods in the 60s.....they would have laughed at most of this crap)................why can't there be more decent 70s stuff played (there's so much good stuff) instead of scraping the barrel for this grim material??!! .....................

as i have said before I would rather hear good rnb than wishy washy 70s or soul sam disco stuff.

How come rnb gets a real slating on here but the barrel scraping modern being played gets away with it?

You also have to remember that this is a dance scene therefore it doesnt have to be ultra-soulful to be played. All these people who knock rnb and crave more soulful stuff constantly praise the likes of the mello souls which isnt that soulful at all. They were a white garage band if i am right? They sound like one for deffo!

I would like to add that I am not the biggest fan of rnb but i do frequent the rnb rooms quite regular due to the circles I mix in. I can admire the quality being played in there and if you take the time to listen many will be surprised how good it can be. You will also see the better dancers in these rooms rather than the slow-motion shuffling 70's fans. imo of course.

No mate it's just healthy discussion and as you state there only opinions at the end of the day who knows what makes a record fall into certain genres anyway and is there any way of being 110 % sure anyway huh.gif

It's good to be questioning others we'd all be in Wetherspoon's imitating the Crazy Frog !!!

Ps - it's a bloody ace record and is up on Pat Brady's site now for £300

have to agree with you on this shane. i do love some of the soulful 70's stuff but most of the things that hit 'BIG' are not half as good as a bit of good ol' R&B dont know why alot of people knock it, proberly because its more gritty/dirty kind of sound and can we PLEASE call it R&S rhythm & soul ohmy.gif

You will never change the opinion of Blinkered 'Northern' fans...

The same people that cry out at R&B being played are always the first ones to rush to the floor when something like Mickie Champion or The Five Royales are spun.

They don't understand R&B, so they automaticaly dislike it as it is 'different' (Until they've heard it 50 times and it gets under their skin).

At the end of the day, 60 R&B has much more in common with the 60s Stompers than any of the mid-late 70s proto Disco and 'Modern' Soul that DJs like Soul Sam spin - same artists, same backing groups, same production values.

There are many records that get spun under the name 'R&B' that I personaly dislike (more often than not white pop artists with the right beat), but the good tracks far outnumber the poor.

I don't dislike Modern Soul, I just cannot hack music that is directionless, meandering and without 'oomph!'

Tracks like:

The Pioneers - My Good Friend James

Kenny Thomas - Crazy World

Lisa Stansfield......

and so on.....

Good post that Shane....thought I'd just say that before the soul police call for reinforcements now you've called into question the fashionable 70s disco and background music ohmy.gif

Funny you should mention the Mello Souls. A good record, but would it have had the acclaim if it had been less rare and expensive?

I must say there is not the preoccupation with rarity, cost and who's playing the record on the R&B front that there seems to be in the up-front scene.

I think you are also right that most people go to R&B nights to dance, rather than stroke their chins huh.gif
