Betty(e) Lavette.

Versatlie; soulful, funky and beautiful...

[Gary Samways]

Gladys Knight

Patti Hamilton

Linda Jones

Barbara Lynn

Gladys Knight

[Sean Hampsey]

but mainly Patti Hamilton.

A real left fielder, Bob, but agree that Patti had one great voice!

Sean

[Jaco]

Anita Louis and Shelbra Bennett (joint)

[Sjclement]

I just love Ty Karim's voice

John

[Mark S]

Duffy

[Godzilla]

Duffy

I was just gonna say Helen Shapiro...

[John Reed]

There are so many

Mavis Staples at her best, is unbeatable and her two Volt LP's should be in every household.

Babrara Lynn cant do no wrong in my eyes either up tempo or on ballads - Untill I Suffer, is one of my all time faves.

Kim Tolliver

Doris Duke

[Pete S]

Monique - "If you love me" - how did she never make it big

[Guest Mark Holmes]

Mary J Blige

[Guest MBarrett]

I've always had a real soft spot for Carla Thomas.

Here she is - introduced by her Dad.

Beautiful on the outside . . .

Beautiful on the inside . . .

A voice to die for . . .

A song to tear at your heartstrings . . .

Surely it doesn't get much better than this!!

[Guest MBarrett]

And (for me) one of the most soulful, heart wrenching performances of recent times.

Patti Labelle's posthumous tribute to her friend . . .

[Eddie Hubbard]

My head says - Linda Jones , my heart says - Bettye Swann , very hard to choose ......Best,Eddie

[22ndsoul]

Jean Wells and Debbie Taylor for me

[Jill Bayles]

Can't narrow it down to one so here goes...Anita Baker and Ann Nesby

Two is the best I can do

[Arthur Fenn]

Monique - "If you love me" - how did she never make it big

100% agree along with Ty for me

[Guest topcatnumpty1]

Hi ,Arthur (see you on 4th. Sept) got to agree on Ty Karim but what about---Kim Tolliver on the sublime" Standing Room Only" or Millie J. ON so many-"It,s all over(bar the shouting")---"Loving Arms"--"If you,re not back in love by Monday"---also Carol Anderson--"Sad Girl"---"Taking my mind of love"--"I,M gonna get off at the next stop"-----Ann Sexton----so many

Best

[Guest kevnewry]

ANITA BAKER... GLADYS KNIGHT.... CARLA THOMAS.

[Guest Mart B]

Im surprised Lorraine Chandler as not been mentioned,she was outstanding when she performed @ Prestatyn a few years ago.

Also Pat Lewis another great Detroit artist...

[Dave Fleming]

Way too many to choose from like,Ann Sexton,Sandra Wright,Mille Jackson,Alice Clark,Rozetta Johnson,ect.

but if i had to stick me neck out and pick just one

it would be the great late LINDA JONES everytime.

Dave f...........

[Guest jobete]

She may not have the most soulful voice for some of you, hey I'm bias. It's Irma Thomas. "Hold Me While I Cry" gets me every time

[Jill Bayles]

Av it...if only I could...would love to know who is the singer in question

[Guest MBarrett]

No way would thread be complete without Irma Thomas.

Here is nice version of "Hold Me"

MB

[Guest MBarrett]

And a bit of self-indulgence . . . .

Here is Irma Thomas's original of "Time Is On My Side" and the Stones cover version.

Love 'em both!!

...Good choice

Just been told that you are in fact Spike from Darlo...is this true,mate??

I told you that...or I posted that...the other day...and yes its true mate

[Theresa]

'But l wouldn't mind a couple of lines of Beak... (T.P. 09)

Misquoted again! What I actually said Phil, if you cast your mind back, was 'I don't need no speed or weed... but a Toffee Crisp would do nicely thanks Mr Webb' So get down the Rathcoole corner shop and make sure you bring one to Rugby, thank you.

And in answer to your original question, which I think you may have written whilst drunk as your syntax is all wrong (not for the first time this week I might add) - I think I'll say Esther Phillips. Or the girl who sings lead vocal on Brown Sugar's The Game Is Over, whose name escapes me at the moment but I'm sure someone will remind me of. Lovely.

'Tis true Phil, how's you? hope you're well? Long time.... whenyou ext overthis side of the water?

[Guest jobete]

'Tis true Phil, how's you? hope you're well? Long time.... when you next overthis side of the water?

[paup-ine]

My choice would be:

Aretha Franklin - The Queen Of Soul

P

[Nz Soul]

RUBY WINTERS

[Jill Bayles]

Do ever see Elaine Snowball now...Be in Darlo in Oct..have a chat eh??

And just who the fook is Elaine Snowball

Depends if yer visit clashes with Torch Reunion or Prestatyn in Oct and how long yer here for but I hope we can meet up, I'll get Bizz round for a larf....we were howling the other night when he popped round mine...as I said nowt changes

Or was that meant for Jobete and its the usual fact of my being inconsequential

[chrissie]

Jocelyn Brown......What's the problem ouy there?

When you have finished reading through the thread linked below, listened to every track mentioned come back and lets see if your opinion has changed

Personally I cant decide, depends what day of the week it is. Just know I love Dusty, Jackie Ross, Fontella Bass, Maxine Brown and loads more, but don't like Areatha Franklin or Diana Ross
