Many will already be aware of my love for boy bands... Tempests are right up there with my other male vocal gods. The lead singers voice is like honey dripping over a pnuematic drill - it just oozes emotion, passion, lust...

I guess, my favourite track has to be Ain't No Big Thing - from the opening drums to the following winds only serves to support this amazing vocal group to make them mahooosively amazing. A tale of up's and down's. A story of get on with it springs to mind - shame he gave up so soon :unsure: I wouldn't have LOL.

Come on... share me your Tempest tantilisers wink.gif

Here's mine!

For me it has to be "Some Day" ... don't know what it is but just makes me shiver and cry all at once :unsure:

aint no big thing not as good as Jimmy james version i reckon (sorry)

I don't think I've heard that version. Care to share?

I just listened to the Radiants version and the Electrons, but they are not a touch on the Tempests.

:unsure: Agreed. Have the Jimmy James - New Religion LP with his version, vocal not in same league as Tempests.

My Tempests top 3 would be;

1. I cried for you

2. Someday

3.What you gonna do

The Radiants original hit version is without a doubt my fave. Proper mid-tempo, characteristic Chicago soul. In my opinion, The Tempests take on it is too messy and the Jimmy James has got annoying girl backing vocals. Loads of versions of "Ain't No Big Thing" out there and apparently a very influential track.

As far as a Tempests Top-3, here goes:

1: Can't Get You Out Of My Mind

2: What You Gonna Do

3: I Don't Want To Lose Her

Top group! :unsure:

Hi,

I'm Jon from Essex - been a frequent visitor on the site but only recently registered, thought it was about time I got my first post in - re the Tempests LP, there's a copy on Smash currently on ebay (7 hours to go) and its only $8 - gotta be a bargain!

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/THE-TEMPEST-Would-Yo...1QQcmdZViewItem

I've also got a copy on a blue phillips label, I think it's Dutch.. anyone know it's current value?

Cheers

Soulgirl, Codfromderby you're both right. The song itself is one if not my all time favourite song but my top three versions are --

RADIANTS

SCOTTY TODD

TEMPESTS

What a awesome sound

I remember we did all the "Known" versions of "Ain't No Big Thing" around 14 years ago on this very site, think there were over a thousand on last count........No idea where on the site that post is, and can't be arsed to go and find it....

Ps..Radiants everytime.......Got to be honest but the more i listen to the Tempests Lp on Smash, the less i like it.
