... the Christmas carol "Silent Night", sung by anyone at all, and also "Lullaby Of Broadway" from the movie "Gold Diggers Of 1933" (or maybe '32 - anyway, it's sung by Winifred Shaw and I always well up when the tap dancing bit comes in halfway through. These two songs easily reduce me to a blubbering heap, and I have had to flee crowded rooms before now at Christmastime when "S. Night" is sung on any TV programme, just to keep my emotions in check...

I feel the same way about Silent Night. Have you ever heard it sung in German? Stille Nacht. It's sounds wonderful.

There's a story about the temporary armistice that used to take place during the 1914-18 war on Christmas Day. At one God forsaken battle ground, The Brits started singing Silent Night and the Germans joined in from their trenches singing in German - each trying to doutdo the other. It ended with a game of soccer between the two enemies in no-man's land.

Next day, it was carnage as usual.

[Guest 2648 W Grand Boulevard]

The Winstons "Colour him father" and The Temptations "Since I lost my baby" make me go quiet and thoughtful. However I cant ever listen to "Why" by the Eurythmics without wiping a tear away as that was playing a lot when I lost my mum in a car crash 12 years ago .

[Guest StoneSoul45]

I was waiting for my lady to come out of the dry cleaners today when "I STILL LOVE YOU" the Seven Souls came on the mixtape. Naturally I cranked it allllll the way!!! when the lady returned I tried to pass it off as cigarette smoke in the eyes. christ, is that not theee best shit ever?! Whoever the lead on it is has me totally convinced that he really does still love somebody.

others that get me-

The Ceasers - Desperate For Your Affection

Carolyn Crawford - My Smile Is Just A Frown Turned Upside Down

Lee Williams & The Cymbals - I Love You More

Ray Pollard - The Drifter [ever feel that crushing isolation?]

Tobi Clark - Time Will Pass You By [cuz man, it sure will pass you right on by]

Joann Garrett - Stay By My Side

The Voices - Forever Is A Long Long Time

Almeta Latimore did it for me, just back from a nighter and long weekend, feeling "fragile", recently split from a girlfriend, put Almeta on the deck, talk about heart rending she really tore me up, cried my bloody eyes out, but it felt good too, if you know what I mean?

Carl Weathers " You Ought To Be With Me "

[leev]

i'm sure i responded to a thread of a similar nature a few years back on the old a.n.s. but hey it's a new day

i must admit there are songs with far more slushy and sentimental lyrics than my choices, but these do it for me.

idol few- people that's why..it's just beautiful and one man standing alone.

edwin starr - my sweet lord.... i played it on a radio show last year and had to play sveral tracks after without speaking, so i could compose myself, it does me every time

[stainless steve]

There's some real tear-jerker's listed on this thread! For me it has to be Willie Parker - Don't hurt the one you love. (always brings a golf ball size lump to my throat)

For Mr Dospan..far too many to mention!!!

[Guest]

gotta be Sam Cooke - A Change Gonna Come wot a song

[steve z]

Hi there,

wondered which songs touch people so much that the tears well up, or you get that tingle up and down the spine. Or songs that relate to certain times in their lives/ or relationships..............i'm sure everyone has them????

for me Gabrielles song Out of Reach starts me off....if it comes on the radio i have to either switch off or walk out of the room. Reminds me of a relationship that went sour 6 years ago. The woman concerned left me and i haven't seen her since...............

The Phantom .........Come back to me.......Karisma.......... think of my dear departed Dad .......

Northern-wise for me as follows..........

..................... You Satisfy my Needs-Dee Irwin

No Rest For the Worried-Clarence Williams

Hey You-Montclairs

Showstopper-Cashmeres

Hurt So Bad/Call Me The Joker-Little Annthony and Imperials

I Do Love You-Billy Stewart

Number Onederful-Jay and Techniques

Carl

[BrianB]

gotta be Sam Cooke - A Change Gonna Come wot a song

When you put this recording into the context of the times in the USA, and the struggles the black people were going through, this has to stand out as THE most meaningful record of all the ones we have posted here.

Eddie Holman Im Not Gonna Give up

Jerry Jackson Wide Awake in a Dream

Sea Shells A Quiet Home

Joe Matthews Is it Worth it All

[Dave Thorley]

[Guest fuzzyjon]

For me it's gotta be "Lonely People Can Afford To Cry" by Clyde McPhatter on Amy.... the horn bit on the middle 8 is SO SO mournful.... gets me every time!

Oh, and probably most things by Roy Hamilton too..... Dark End Of The Street in particular....

C

possibly Bobby Powell a great version

for me it has to be "someday we'll all be free" Donny Hathaway especially when listening to the "Extensions of a man" LP. There's a different instrumental break on the Greatest Hit's album.

I often wonder if he wrote the song with his future in mind.

[Guest Kitchengroove]

Carl Weathers "You Ought To Be With Me"

All to die for.

Sean Hampsey

Any chance of an MP3 on this one, it's been recomended too many times to go unheard by my ears.

and all of your list is quality so I don't want to miss out.

[Guest markmtfc]
