Guest eddiep Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Hi everyone, Currently getting into the crossover sound quite a lot and would like some quality recommendation's please. From great cheapies to expensive rarities. All welcome I know a lot of people class all 70's as crossover but my definition is not so much what I class as "70's modern" by the like's of James Walsh Gypsy Band, Midnight, etc. I'm more tuned in to 60's & 70's songs along the lines of........ Reggie Soul (World Of Ectasy) Ann Sexton (I Still Love You) Dells (Closer) Houston Outlaws (Ain't No Tellin') Marva Joseph (One More Chance) Hesitations (Is That The Way...) Lee Williams & Cymbals (It's Everything About You....) Serena Johnson (All Work....) So............. anything in that vien you can recommened would be appreciated. Thanks in advance everyone All the best, Eddie Edited April 19, 2011 by eddiep
Jonno Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Hiya Eddie, Here's a great crossover track with a 60's feel, I found one in Record & Tape exchange Camden recently it should'nt break the bank. Charlie Hodges-Loving you is beautiful (Calla) Or how about this one. Three shades of soul-Being in love (Enjoy) This is a cracker too. Leon Haywood-You don't have to see me cry (Decca) https://www.soul-source.co.uk/more/soul-library/34252-leon-haywood-you-dont-have-to-see-me-cry/ Hope these help. Johnny.
Guest eddiep Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Top man Johnny Thank you . That's got the ball rolling now. The quest begins........
Girthdevon Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I found one in Record & Tape exchange Camden recently What's your name now Johnny,,,,Mark Houghton..... One of my fave cheapies and for me the epitome of crossover, another on Calla, Jean Wells - What Have I Got To Lose Current spin for me, Margie Joseph - Promise Me Your Love off her 74 LP, might be on a 45 - i've not checked..... And a pricier one i've been digging out again recently - LaShawn Collins - What You Gonna Do Now - Sincere Cheers Gareth
Jonno Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 What's your name now Johnny,,,,Mark Houghton..... Bumped into Del last time I was in, he was raiding the reggae section.....small world. Johnny. Might as well add this one to the list, since Girf has gone with Lashawne Collins. Jackie Beavers - Bring me all youe heartaches (Grand Land)
Chalky Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Just checkout the crossover topic in refosoul. Loads of quality records there at all prices.

Chris Anderton Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Eddie, Four "Dab of Soul" Cds should be dropping thru your door tomorrow morning mate...might be a few on there you like! Agree with what the guys said about Jean Wells and Lashawn Collins...epitome of crossover soul for me. Cheers, Chris
Sean Hampsey Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) I'd recommend everything on this here CD. :0) https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B003WRK0OE/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1303224338&sr=8-1 Check it out for less than a fiver, with soundclips too! Sean Edited April 19, 2011 by Sean Hampsey
boba Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 the shades of soul is a cover of a track that both the artistics and chilites do (better in my opinion), and they're cheaper records.
Cunnie Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Music of the devil & to be avoided at all costs but if you still insist on listening to it you could pop into the Filthy Soul do in London this weekend. I'll be there

Guest Brian Ellis Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 You could do worse than search out some of the early Goldmine Modern and Crossover series of CDs from the early/mid 90s; also their Modern Millionaires CDs. You should be able to pick them up cheaply on eBay - whilst the recording quality is not brilliant (but still very listenable), there's loads of great crossover tracks on them. They formed the basis of many of my crossover/modern wants lists over the years - still some on them I've yet to acquire. Cheap crossover track to search out - The Modulations - 'Hopelessly in Love with You' on Buddah (£25 - £30 should do the trick) Hope this helps Brian
Guest Mrs M Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Check out Baz Atkinson's threads on here who always posts lots of Crossover tunes info and recommendations. He is well clued up!!
Guest Mark G Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 I Quit Running The Streets by Garland Green would probs be my all time favourite in that kind of category...
Guest Mark G Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 ......and as a shameless plug I've got Jeanne Burton on Cotton and the Escort's Sing A Happy Song up on th'evilbay... too much towards the modern-y sound maybe?
Guest Mark G Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 I'd recommend everything on this here CD. :0) https://www.amazon.co...03224338&sr=8-1 Check it out for less than a fiver, with soundclips too! Sean Some crackin' tunes in there, it's daft what yer forget. But wasn't it Syl Johnson and not Sly Johnson that did We Did It?? Or have the tablets taken their toll....
Hammersoul Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Here`s a few more xover things that might float ya boat: Just a dream-Imperial Wonders 7". Two timer/Drop by my place-Little Carl Carlton 7" (Great double sider) Hey girl-Jo Stance 7". (New realese from Finland from last year) Ain`t got a problem/where did he came from-Sunday 7". That`s when i stop loving you-Belita Woods 7". i`m only a man/out of my hands-Butch + the Newports 7".
Guest Mark G Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) That Jo Stance tune is really good, not as good as the Brandy Butler and the Fonxionaires one... Gin And Tonic though.... Edited May 2, 2011 by Mark G
Guest TrimmTrab Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Wales Wallace - We're not happy Wales Wallace - Whatever you want The Festivals - Take your time Melvin Brown - Love stormy weather The Winstons - Colour him father https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St4eu4qU9gQ art wilson - i know we can make it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPsAEfhGWDs Positive Change - Positive Change LP (Love of a lifetime) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi5OOCckaMU All under a score (alright the Positive Change and Melvin Brown are issues)
