Guest MBarrett Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) It's a bit mainstream I suppose but I really get the shiver thing from the piano part in Come To Me Softly - Jimmy James. It swirls around in the background - arpeggios and runs and flourishes and heaven knows what else - and comes to the front of the mix just at the right moments. The way it complements his voice is musical magic for me. It's a tune I don't like to play too often just in case I ever get fed up with it But hey ho, here goes Edited March 18, 2014 by MBarrett Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Dave Moore Posted March 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2014 When Linda Jones takes over the vocal on her duet with The Moments in I'm So Glad on Stang at 1:13 in. It's as if her voice says to the Moments voices "Shove over a bit and make me some room...while I show you how to do it. Real singer in town!"' She does it again at 2:06 with a single note! Proper!

From the pop end of the soul spectrum again - what about in the live performances of Proud Mary where Tina goes from the 5mph intro to the 100 mph main body of the song. OMG! Wham! Bam! Tina is strutting, the Ikettes are boogying, Ike is at the back looking like the coolest dude on the planet. I put that in my top 10 musical performances of the last 50 years. Shivers? All over!!

Soul16 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Timi Yuro - It'll never be over for me. Pretty much all of it makes me shiver, a heady mix of great lyrics and a driving orchestral beat. Jerry Williams - Run, run roadrunner, the bit where he sings "I live the life I love, I love the life I live, yeah yeah,yeah, yeah" Key changes on a record are often able to make me shiver. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest MBarrett Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Key changes on a record are often able to make me shiver. I think song writers quite often use that technique don't they. Change from a major key to minor and then back again. I used to know more about this in my younger days, but most of it just a distant memory now.

Guest Dave Turner Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Had the shivers from many records over the years.

Popular Post Robbk Posted March 19, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) The harmonica solos by Big Walter Horton in Jimmy Rogers' "Walkin' By Myself" and "Chicago Bound". The guitar break by Matt Murphy on "Lonesome" by Memphis Slim, The guitar break by Pops Staples in "I'll Fly Away" and "Hammer And Nails" (Riverside version), The soaring Alto high notes in The Flamingos' Chance and Parrot ballads. Benny Benjamin's, Pistol Allen's and Uriel Jones' snare drum rolls in too many Motown instrumental tracks to mention, and Johnny Allen's 1964 arrangements meshing together all those great Motown instrumental performances. The Five Keys' fantastic five-part harmony on their 1951 and 1952 cuts (especially "Red Sails In The Sunset" and "My Saddest Hour", and the same for The Flamingos' 1953 and 1954 cuts "Golden Teardrops", "If I Can't Have You", "I'm Yours". The 1963 and 1964 great harmony backgrounds by Billy Butler and The Enchanters and The Impressions backing Major Lance, Otis Leavill, Jerry Butler and Jan Bradley and Gene Chandler. 1954 guitar solos by Johnny "Guitar" Watson, and many from the 1940s by T-Bone Walker. The rolling plunky piano of Otis Spann, Memphis Slim, Champion Jack Dupree. The haunting guitar licks of Elmore James. The early Motown sax and flute solos of Beans Bowles. The great ensemble sound of The Afro Blues Quintet and Afro Blues Quintet +1 on "Liberation" and "Moses", and really everything on their first four LPs.

Also a bit later on when her voice growls a bit - magic. Really into female vocals at the mo.
