Wicked Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Out of the two I'd pick 'Just can't live my life' but the one that really does it for me is 'Not on the outside' absolutely f**ckin' awesome. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

purist Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 It really is a case of did she make a single bad record ? Three of those not yet mentioned that I've got a soft spot for Classic Oldie - I Cant Stop Loving My Baby Amphetasoul - Last Minute Miracle I'm not much on ballads which aint beat ballads, but try this - I Who Have Nothing Are all her recordings done with George Kerr ?

Amsterdam Russ Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I'm a big fan of the track "If only we had met sooner" from her "Hypnotized" LP. Whilst the stereo mix is rather weak and very thin in sound, the mono recording is warm, rich, has great depth and really brings Linda's voice to the fore. The arrangement is marvellous, too. It's a brilliant performance all round and a great slice of early 'crossover' soul. It's also vastly underrated (possibly because of the weakness of the stereo version). Here's the mono version... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRLdicXQZuw Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Agentsmith Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 linda jones , for many, is the epitome of class...not one average tune, all 5 star loma or not and under the guidance of ace songwriter/producer, george kerr.....as i said a while back on here, can you imagine if she had recorded "you hit me ( right where it hurt me )"? dont get me wrong alice clark & kim weston's are wonderful readings of a truly impassioned song....but LINDA JONES?.....WOW!!, now that would be legendary!!. bearing in mind dave godin,s association with the british release of the best of the loma catalogue, im sure that shrewd connoiseur of soul would have sniffed it out of the archives, had it existed.

Guest Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) Tried hard, but can't make a definition, just so many mighty recordings and a whole heap of Soul perfection in varying styles...Of the ones covered here, Northern magic on 'My heart needs a break' and 'I just cant.etc, etc...'...Great version of 'Last minute miracle too', on the slow side ''Fugitive of love is awesome' and 'Iif only (we had met sooner)' is just so classy it hurts...And there are many other great tracks too...simply too good to be forgotten...Jesus Christ can you imagine what the judges on X-Factor or American Idol would do if LINDA JONES walked on today? Yet again the world of Soul Music shows what the word 'Talent' really means.... Edited October 27, 2011 by rich chorley Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Moore Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Another classic performance by Ms Jones. Surprised this hasn't been mentioned. She barrels past The Whatnaughts in terms of sheer power and delivery. Check out her Oooooooooooh at the end of her first verse and beginning of her second.

I'm pretty sure we're using the Turbo version (Sean will no doubt confirm) because we did actually have access to both - I completely forgot we're also using "You Hit Me Like T.N.T." on the Northern volume ("Lost In Time") as well. So 3 Linda Jones tracks on 3 different volumes. Not a bad batting average...... Roll on Boxing Day..... Ian D Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
