jocko Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 So this thread is for some reason making me turn to dark songs, menacing songs, and this one sounds like its set at the back door of hell, with the swirling devils flying around your head, whispering go on, do it one time, you know she is right. When he hits the chorus, his tone makes you visualise the junk vanishing into the veins, swooshing through the blood, the backing singers now the devils celebrating taking another soul And over that a man who sings like an angel. Its a bit of a paradox this soul music sometimes...... 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Winsford Soul Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Another one that just makes my mood as black as the night in the Outer Hebrides, dark, despairing and little joy, apart from the sheer beauty in the performance when someone so troubled can just pour his whole worried world out in a song. Sheer talent One of the greatest artists ever, really moved up into my top 3 this last 10 years, all of his songs seem to tell you of his troubles, with closer inspection of the lyrics hinting at the demons that sadly destroyed him. Whilst his genius shines through like a remote lighthouse in almost everything he did. Just magnificent and only recently did I read the story that this is not a political song but was written for Donny by someone that saw his tortured soul. Just a magnificent feat to take this from someone and make it so your own. Amazingly the most heart breaking part is not when he is singing its when the trumpet comes in at around 2 minutes, and the sadness just seems to seep out ever part of the speakers. Then comes Donny to take the 12 pieces of your heart and turn them into 30. My second favourite recorded performance of all time. Buy his latest anthology, and turn the lights off and lie down. F***ng life changing. WOW. What a tune. Thank you . Steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Winsford Soul Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) If we're talking about stuff that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.......Levi Stubbs (RIP)......acapella. What a voice this guy had. Had the privilege of meeting Levi and the rest of the Four Tops backstage at Blighty's in Farnworth, way back in 1973. Still got there autographs..... Simply the greatest vocalist ever singing the greatest heartbreaker of all time. IMHO. Tears running down my cheeks as I write this.
