Billy Freemantle Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Who would you class as the best soul duo? I'll go for Eddie and Ernie.And I'll go for 'Outcast' as the track I like the best. On a more southern note, I enjoyed that Texas sound of Pic & Bill.
Guest LeoLyxxx Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Buster & James "count the tears" Cee Jam best Leo
Marc Forrest Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 How about thses three ? Sam & Dave Sam & Bill Pic & Bill Marc

Guest LeoLyxxx Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Knight Bros. and.. BOB & FRED!!!! best Leo
Tomangoes Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Buster and Eddie. Everytime I hear that sweet soul music, I cant be still etc etc. Anthem time, Pure Class even the label says so. Is it the same Eddie? In fact is Ginger and Eddie the same Eddie. Im Eddie but its not me, honest. Ed
Soulie78 Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 One of my current faves is Pat and Andre - You're breaking my heart on WB. I bought it in a lot some years ago and didn't listen to it for a while. Since a few weeks I'm listning to it again and I think it's great. I don't know anything about them, but it's a great beat ballad sound, I'd say. Another duo I can't stop listning to is Collins and Collins - Top of the Stairs on A&M
Sebastian Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Apart from Pic & Bill (whose material I love to bits), I really, really like the stuff from The Carbo Brothers a.k.a. Hank & Claude Carbo a.k.a. Claude & Hank Carbo on several different labels. Also Simtec & Wylie are nice.
Marc Forrest Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 how many were the Brooks Brothers, just only two right Two plus Two is also only two, so I name that current biggie too....two astonishing great sides
Soulie78 Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 How about thses three ? Sam & Dave Sam & Bill Pic & Bill Marc link Hi Marc! And what songs?? cheers, Martin W.
jocko Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Sam & Dave, seen as too popular by some but pound for pound are the greatest duo around, too many well known songs but also some nice tracks tucked away on LP's. followed by Knight Brothers (awesome reissue cd recently) and Ashford & Simpson, seen as lightweight by some but two of the greatest singers that when put together just are magical. Cheers Jock

On a more southern note, I enjoyed that Texas sound of Pic & Bill. link Soon as I saw your topic header Eddie And Ernie sprung to mind. Spun Outcast at Lifeline..great record. Formed the basis of Left Out for Jesse Johnson on Old Town (Eddie Campbell co-wrote it). Sooper They've got to be the greatest Soul duo EVER.

Sooper They've got to be the greatest Soul duo EVER. link I agree, Chalky and 'Outcast' fits in seamlessly when you play it along with Whitworth Street favourites. It's an atmospheric haunter from the first tenatative note and then the soft , echoey uttering of Outcast by the backing singers BEFORE Eddie & Ernie have even voiced the word is eerie.

It is , isn't it?! By the way, it's just dawnwed on me how closely JJ had been luistening to Jackie Wilson.I'd never noticed how many of the vocal tricks are similar.

Jordirip Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Douglas and Lonero - "This Time" RCA. Very nice crossover dancer!! Jordi
Paul R Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 One of my all time favourites is Duke & Leonard " Just Do The Best You Can". Such an awsome track (IMVHO).
Sebastian Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 One of my all time favourites is Duke & Leonard " Just Do The Best You Can". Such an awsome track (IMVHO). Ooohhh... Very nice indeed! Wouldn't mind a copy myself.
Garethx Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 No-one's mentioned The Sims Twins. So I will. The original male soul duo. Also, what about The Soul Twins? Both awesome singers, and maybe the best soul duo, in terms of their incredible singing ability, both as TST and as Gas & The Funk Factory. I absolutely love Eddie and Ernie. Lots of people mention "Outcast", and yes, it is good, but believe me, they made literally dozens of far better records, both as a duo and as solo artists. Another underrated duo, who always sang with tons of soul were Willie and Anthony from Miami.
Sweeney Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 What about The Casanova Two (Freddie Hughes & Lonnie Hewitt)? We Got To Keep On is great - (as is Freddie's solo version on the Wand LP)
Marc Forrest Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Hi Marc! And what songs?? cheers, Martin W. link Sam & Dave all songs (sheer Southern Soul class ) Pic & Bill all three sides on Charay Sam & Bill all tunes Hi Martin...is that Weissi or Werhand ? Marc
Sebastian Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Pic & Bill all three sides on Charay All three? They released at least nine or ten 45s on Charay. Some of them shared the same tunes, but still. Many of their Smash and Blue Rock recordings are also fabulous ("Soul Of A Man", "Just A Tear", "Gonna Give It To You", "Don't Put Me Down", "Sad World Without You" etc.). Plus they sang back-up on Willie Hobbs "Action" on Soft/Mercury.
