Guest stevejan Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 What about that brilliant Brendetta Davis 45' on Liberty, have it somewhere but can't remember the title (meant to be Brenda Holloway isn't it ? Remember going to a local do at a working mens club some years back (88/90 ?) and the great, late Dave Godin sat on a small stage with a single record deck beside him and he played his all time top ten "deep soul" records and this was one of them, a very strange (but excellent) evening, Dave did small lectures in between each record explaning in great detail what they meant to him including the deeper implications on a social/political front ! We Interveiwed Brenda On Right Track Show last year,she said it wasn't her.

Guest isis Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Just been listening to "Someway Somehow" by the Marvelettes, Wanda Rogers vocal is utterly heartbreakingly gorgeous...all those breaks and catches, as though she's been sobbing.

Guest Catfish Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 For me they are: Essex IV : I just can't take it Curtis Anderson: Hardest Part Four Tops: I just can't get you out of my mind & Ray Pollard: The Drifter. I think the Dells 'Make sure you have someone to Love you' is emotionally charged, but all that melodrama about 'shuffling off this mortal coil' starts me laughing just as I'm getting really miserable! Perhaps it's meant to be funny, in a dark way? Michele

What time does your plane leave...and please make sure you're on it!! Sorry Phil , but SWM is a record I have never taken to , and doubt I ever will . The nail in the coffin came for me , with the recent mobile phone advert that has a massed congregation - especially one very off key knob - " singing " the song ...... I only voiced my opinion Phil , and not ctiticism of yours ...... Malc Burton Edited July 29, 2009 by Malc Burton

Malc Burton Ha Ha ! I have to agree Malc. No one & I mean no-one quite does it like Al & Jean !! I guess the line in the song "its so much better the 2nd time around" DOES NOT apply to little Lulu !!
