Chalky Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 dunno if this has been posted but worth another listen... 1
Hermanthegerman Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 [media=]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbrRR7du2Uo One of my alltime faves, shame that nearly noone bothers with playing a few ballads in their sets nowadays...
Chalky Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 moves from beat ballad to mid tempo and back again..... 1
Benji Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Chalky/Gerd, thanks for posting some truly awesome beat ballads. Ray Pollard is deep soul in my books, but a gem nonetheless. Jimmy Radcliffe - My ship best version by far. Gave my copy to the missus and regret it right now . Little Ann is a gem. First heard it on a tape a mate recorded from the Great Yarmouth weekender radio shows back in 1990/1991 and immediately fell in love with it. Tho have to say it's really at the very slow end of what I consider a beat ballad. Here's another one for you, Rocky Roberts - If he could. Might be a tad too fast for a beat ballad but it's such a full production in your face sort of sound it surely fits in this thread. It's from a western movie "Tom Dollar". The only releases I know are a french EP and an argentinian 33 rpm 7" 1

Dave Harrison Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Was going to post the Jerry Butler version of "giving up on love", but in view of the above posts, I'll go with my favourite JB track instead... "I don't want to hear it anymore" Dave https://youtu.be/Z0z1fHiXklU
Kev Cane Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Was going to post the Jerry Butler version of "giving up on love", but in view of the above posts, I'll go with my favourite JB track instead... "I don't want to hear it anymore" Dave [media=] Crack on Dave and please post Jerry,s version up, great versions posted up by Munchkin but, for my money, Jerry,s version is the Daddy, Jock put it on tape for me about 25 years ago and I have been totally hooked ever since. Kev
Dave Harrison Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Cheers Kev This probably makes the set, but I'm sure there are other versions too ! Dave https://youtu.be/LykIuk0Gups 2
Kev Cane Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Cheers Kev This probably makes the set, but I'm sure there are other versions too ! Dave [media=] Thanks Dave, cuts me in half every time Kev

Benji Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 has anyone mentioned BEFORE YOU BREAK MY HEART ...........ARTHUR PRYSOCK........tune OF THEM ALL FOR ME....... FAB LIStT OF TUNES THO !!!!!!!!!! ez Don't think it was mentioned before. agree with you, great tune. mine's a nice Verve demo. Apparently a big belgian popcorn oldie. Here are a few more not mentioned so far. Some of them pretty poppy/blue eyed but great nonetheless Dick Hafner - Go 'way tears Peggy March - Losin' my touch Maxine Brown's version of Peggy March. Quite different. Don't know if this ever made it on vinyl. Have it on CD only. Dee Dee Warwick - I can't go back

Recordlurv Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 not sure if its a beat ballad or deep soul but i always loved Johnnie Jackson And The Blazers ft Merle Spears -wizdom of a fool . there is a clip on youtube if you want to listen , youtube is blocked in work
Guest Dave Turner Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) not sure if its a beat ballad or deep soul but i always loved Johnnie Jackson And The Blazers ft Merle Spears -wizdom of a fool . there is a clip on youtube if you want to listen , youtube is blocked in work Here ya go mate. Nice but I wouldn't call it a Beat Ballad myself, more of a Blues Ballad. If you like that then you'll most likely enjoy Merle Spear's "It's Just A Matter of Time" [media=] Edited July 12, 2012 by Dave Turner
Denbo Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Here ya go mate. Nice but I wouldn't call it a Beat Ballad myself, more of a Blues Ballad. If you like that then you'll most likely enjoy Merle Spear's "It's Just A Matter of Time" [media=] Correct. Very reminiscent of Bobby Bland. Beautiful record.

Kev Kev, posted JB earlier (post #47) ... you must pay more attention Agree with ya mate, Jerry Butler for me is the tops on this. Quirky little number by Little Jr Jesse as well which has grown on me. compared to the other cuts it sounds a bit oddball but I kinda like it mainly because it is a bit different.
Mick Sway Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Great thread guys, my education continues: The Masqueraders: Don't think that this has been covered? Alternative version of which there are many: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKkQEiPomco
Dave Harrison Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Page 3, and no mention of Tommy Hunt ! "I don't want to lose you". Got to be one of the best beat ballads ever! https://youtu.be/mXCDHyxBYW4
Benji Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 My July podcast ties in nicely with this thread, it's called "Beat ballads and slowies". Check it out 1
Guest WheelCity45 Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 These Certainly Deserve To Be Mentioned........ Quality.... Clay Hunt-Since I`ve Lost You-Kapp Dean Courtney-My Soul Concerto-Rca Victor The Juveniles-Yes I Believe-Jerden Susan Barret-A Grain Of Sand-Rca Victor Roger Pace-You Better Know What Your Doing-Twirl Cissy Houston-One Broken Heart For Sale-Kapp Springfield Rifle-That`s All I Really Need-Jerden Ron Alstone-One More Tear-Phillips Dream Team-There He Is-Gregory Inex Foxx-I See You My Love-Symbol Jean Dushone-As I Watch You Walk Away-Chess The Springers-Every Night & Day-Ves-Trad
Rick Cooper Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 If there could be a best "beat ballad" LP how about this one - UK Stateside -"An Album Full Of Soul". Brooks O'Dell, Freeman Brothers, Big Dee Irwin plus great tracks from Clyde McPhatter,Betty Harris, Gladys Knight and Eddie Billups. Got it from Cologne, Germany, near mint condition.It has a price sticker from Cob Record Centre,Porthmadog for 90 pence. Paid twenty times that but still not bad . Anyone know what it goes for? Also anyone know who at EMI in the sixties compiled this ,and others like it. I read somewhere it was Trevor Churchill, but this LP has Dave Godin's taste all over it. Rick
