Theothertosspot Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Perhaps been done before (probably on more than one occasion) Mary Saxton shares the same backing track as the Tams Mary Saxton Tams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5B03qimRtU What about Othello Robertson (so in luv) and Love Unlimited (it may be winter outside), do these share the same or is it just my old lugs? Othello Robertson Love Unlimited Are there any/many others out there? Regards
Guest Nick Harrison Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Never mind the same backing, 30 plus years after purchasing a copy of Othello Robertson, on Baby Luv - I'm still clueless as to weather Othello is male or female !! A female sound with a traditional english acting stage male name ! Edited March 9, 2013 by Nick Harrison

Surely Othello is a girl Nick? Interesting that there appears to be little or no reference on tinternet. Some smart ass will now come and show I'm wrong! Peter 1
Guest Matt Male Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Surely Othello is a girl Nick? Interesting that there appears to be little or no reference on tinternet. Some smart ass will now come and show I'm wrong! Peter I haven't heard of any girls called Othello. Mike Umholtz on Hitsville Soul Club thinks it's a girl. I'm not so sure. Othello Robertson-So In Luv-Baby Luv Someone must have had a lot of faith in this record. Most likely trying to push the B-side ballad, "Soldier Boy". Released first in Feb. 1967, it was soon licensed to ERA and pressed up again on Baby Luv with red text. I doubt it managed to make a dent in the charts and soon disappeared into obscurity. Arranged by Eddie Foster this really builds up with Ms. Robertson screeching the hook, "So In Luv". She did do another record with Dell Randle on Testifi, which is an R&B type shouter. All in all it was great effort I'm proud to have it in my box. Edited March 9, 2013 by Matt Male
Peter99 Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 I haven't heard of any girls called Othello. Mm, that is a fact that crossed my mind Matt I thought it sounded female, but when 'he' hits those high notes at the end he sounds like a guy. I wanted, want, Othello to be a girl cos when I used to dance to it back in the day I was sure it was a lovely girl singing a lovely mid tempo song. I'm probably wrong and my dreams have been shattered! Feck. Peter

Irish Spinner Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Two for starters. https://youtu.be/H0DhNpFJ2hM https://youtu.be/-yo5_q3PRDg
Robbk Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 I've always thought the person was female, based on the voice and mannerisms in the voice. I had also thought I had remembered her being part of the San Francisco Bay music scene in the mid-late '60s (e.g. seen a photograph-proving she was a woman). Sometimes people name their children with a name that might be thought of as belonging only to one sex. Men have been named Shirley and Beverly. One would guess that the female name would be "Othella", but some people like to be different. If THAT singer IS a male, he had serious hormone problems. That is not a "falsetto" performance.
Guest Dave Turner Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Larry Laster - Go For Yourself same backing as Larry Atkins "Lighten Up" and Ty Karim's "Lighten Up Baby"
Guest Dave Turner Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Larry Atkins "Ain't That Love Enough" (flip to Lighten Up) has same backing as the unissued (I think) "We'll Keep On Rolling" Edited March 10, 2013 by Dave Turner
Dave Pinch Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 othello definately a girl....the tune is similar to love unlimited but not the same backing track..not like say four voices/chuck holliday and jesse james / arcades type o thing
Ian Dewhirst Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Larry Laster - Go For Yourself same backing as Larry Atkins "Lighten Up" and Ty Karim's "Lighten Up Baby" And let's forget that track popped up again here..... Ike and Tina Turner "Somebody Somewhere Needs You" Ian D 1
Guest Matt Male Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 These two. Ike and Tina Turner also did a version of 'you don't love' but I can't find that one...
Andreas B Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 How about ... September Jones - I'm Coming Home https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6JANFjEo5M and Billy Sha Rae - Do It https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCtFOiTrH6Y Obviously they "funkified" the Billy Sha Rae version with extra percussion,guitars and piano but that backing track is a monster and both are dancefloor bombs in my opinion. Anyone know which cut came first?

Scotters Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Not an instant one by any means, but how about Pauline Shivers - Won't you come back home / Silk - Falling in love isn't easy? Can't seem to post any you tube clips for now but there must be literally thousands of records if you extend this to artists who "sampled" original recordings for inspiration. That's certainly what led to me getting hooked on Northern and Rare Soul, trying to find out some of the original records used then just marvel at how good they were. Stating the obvious I know but can't ignore fact that lots of hip hop / R&B (not the old sort!) / modern soul samples 60's / 70's soul and even some quite good recent soul releases such as Big Brooklyn Red sampling Lowrell's "Mellow Mellow Right On" for their recent "Taking it too far" track.
