Guest Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Hello! I've been searching for a specific song for over 20 years now (every now and then). Now I've decided to give it some more tries. I recorded the song from Radio Luxemburg in about 1984 and I have transferred it to a mp3-file (about 45 seconds). Please, listen and try to ID the artist and/or song title. Soul experts are my only hope and you are probably the best soul experts around! PLEASE, help https://www.fberg.molndal.se/so/highwayman45sec.mp3
P5OULH Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Hi eddie floyd did a song called highway man back in 1973 have you compared the song good luck paul
Guest Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Hi and thanks but that would have been a bit too easy. *smile* I think this guy's voice sounds familiar but I cannot put my finger on it. Anyone?

Larsc Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 lyrics from the noisy mp3 you'd better watch out I'm just a rolling stone the kind of guy, baby, you can never call your own you'd better run away before it gets too late before I catch your heart and put it on my plate you'd better run away you'd better run away you'd better run away you'd better run away ....(??).... I'm just a highway man I try to ..(??).. when I can First artist I could think of was Billy Ocean 80's production.
Guest Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Billy Ocean I think Billy's voice is not that "deep".
Guest 50box Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Joking? Meaning? No. Be surprised if it`s a soul singer.
Rugby Soul Club Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) No. Be surprised if it`s a soul singer. Sounds more Hideaway Man to me....and very Alexander O'Neal....Catriona is the one to ask about this sorta stuff, or maybe Gavin can help.....but me finks they mite all be at Lifeline/Luton....anywhere than in on their comps on a Sat night...

Guest Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) Sounds more Hideaway Man to me.... Maybe but according to the lyrics, "Highway man" seems to be the right one ("kind of guy you can never call you own" etc). Didn't want to put the words in your mouth so I'm thankful to get an alternative there. You mean Alexander O'Neal? Well he wasn't around for real until '86. But I agree - his voice is there somewhere. I'll have patience for those guys that might help me out. I've had patience for 20 years now...so. Thanks so far. Edited February 4, 2006 by sirugo

Gert Mark Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 my mrs recons it sounds like the style council. I can see what she means, sounds like mick talbot, could be making it harder by guessing its a rare soul track????? Nope not a clue.

Guest Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Very funny. This is not a joke and even though some not-so-serious guys around don't think the tune perfectly fits on here, some serious guys do. So let them do the talking, please.
