Personally prefer Baby Washington's "Hurt So Bad" to Little Anthony's, but that's me.

Flip to the Northern "Get A Hold of Yourself" -- UK United Artists (album only in the US)

Hadn't heard this version before, very nice. I love beat ballads, my favourite genre of our music, but so hard to pick a favourite.

Also while i'm at it, got to include Johnny Rodgers Make A Change, not sure if it qualifies as a BB, I guess it does, could be a bit uptempo, not sure.

Aid.

Definately not a beat ballad. It is mid tempo at the least. Same as the Tropics.

Yeah probably right Chalks, never sure of the definition of BB, suppose something like Roy Hamilton Panic Is On could be a good guide, great closer that one is.

Good game this up to now, Spanish goal really sets it up.

Aid.

Frankie Newsom on usa taunting love but for the beat ballads Billy Jim a bit of a popcorn cowboy thing and a record called strong man by Fred Darin.

Best version IMO:

Yes nice mate. To be honest this is one of those songs that I don't really have a distinct favourite. Can enjoy most cuts of it.
