shelly Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 There's a thread on all our yesterdays "Best Sound by a White Artist before '73" which has been going for a while. You'll find loads more on that, the reason for staarting before the end of '73 was the load of pop crap played at Wigan after '73, including Tony Blackburns verion of "I'll Do Anything" What a lot of people don't realise or undersatnd, is that this was the way to get black music recognised in the UK, when small labels couldn't afford to promote and the bigger ones didn't want to . We all know of the rip offs etc, but Bessie Banks -Go Now and the Valentinos- It's Al Over Now, by the Moody Blues and the Stones respectively, did help gain greater recognition for the original artists. Obviously, this changed with lots of white artists creating their own recoreds with the same sounds. One that hasn't been mentioned on either thread is Spiral Staircase- More Today than Yesterday. Plus the Ventures ps Met Andy Fairweatherlow at Bletsoe alnighter in 72 with a bag full of g&c's Shelly Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Garethx Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) Don't think anyone's mentioned that there are quite a few big 70s records by white artists, in fact some of the biggest ever such as The Anderson Brothers on GSF or Benny Troy on Delite. Also add to the mix the likes of James Walsh Gypsy Band, Roger Troy, The Nicky Newarkers, The Fifth Avenue Band, Sons of Robin Stone, George Clinton Band, Pete Warner, Razzy Bailey etc. and it would be eminently possible to do a pretty good spot of entirely blue-eyed 70s anthems. I've long suspected that The Philharmonics on Soulin' were a white (or at least mixed) group. Does anyone know for sure?

Lots of those beach sounds that were popular in the early 80s fit the bill in this thread. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mark S Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 This thread is completely mashing my head up I thought Ive been listening to the sound of black America for all these years My mum says Tom Jones has a black voice , so by that logic do all black singers sound Welsh ?

Garethx Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Has anyone mentioned The Nomads yet? Surely one of the very greatest from a golden age. I tend to separate the Beach records from the rest of the US pop stuff that got played, maybe because they were made for a very specific geographical dance scene (as opposed to national radio), and maybe because they were very heavily influenced by the original Beach scene hits which were practically all 'real' Rhythm 'n' Blues records by the likes of The Showmen, The Clovers, Willie Tee etc. Having said all that the few genuine Beach sounds from the late 60s with black vocals such as The Mighty Marvelows "Talking 'Bout You Baby" or Reggie Saddler Combo on Panther really ratchet the thing up a gear and make we wish more black groups attempted the genre.
