Darrell banks-somebody somewhere needs you

Darell Banks- the love of my woman

David ruffin- My whole world ended

Harold Melvin & the bluenotes-where are all my friends?

Brenda jones-big mistake

Posted

Walter Jackson"it's all over"

I don't know about actual tunes, but every time I see a documentary about Tammi Terrell, I can't help but blub. That footage of Ain't No Mountain high Enough, really gets me, she looks so happy.

 

Paul

I really cried first time I heard her version of 'All I Do'.

 

Lots of Margie Joseph things and Bobby Taylor's 'Does Your Mamma Know About Me?' - fits my life situation the way it fits interracial love.

Hi all, for me it has to be,  Differences (Five minutes) and Kelly and the soul Explosions (Talking bout my baby's love).    AWESOME, now pick your heart back up off the floor, after you have wiped those tears away. Joe.

Love Committee - I Made A Mistake

Bobby Womack - How Could You Break My Heart

Carol Anderson - Sad Girl

David Ruffin- I've Gotta Find Myself a Brand New Baby

Linda Jones - I Just Can't Live My Life

 

Five epic slabs of solid gold soul, that epitomise emotion.

I always found Sad Girl rather . . . sad. :thumbsup:

One that physically and literally brought me to tears.
I had had a rest from the scene, about 15 years, reason being it was getting a little too commercial for me at the time.
So I'm on the computer one day surfing the net for House record purchases, and one of the searches brought up the term 'Night owl'. It rekindled memories that the term used to be a Northern Soul term and I clicked on the link. I can't remember now what site it took me to, but Darrell banks - Our love is in the pocket began to play automatically. I tingled and wept and I knew I had rediscovered an old love affair.

Yes, "Ask the lonely" is a good choice. Would add these :

 

Impressions - I've been trying

Aretha Franklin - Baby baby baby

Billy Butler - Let her love me

 

and doubtless a few others I can't recall now....

That's one of my all-time favourite songs, but by Otis Leavill.  I've never heard of a Billy Butler version.  Was it unreleased on vinyl, and taken from a vaulted master tape?

Billy Butler wrote it, didn't he?

 

Never heard of a version by him either.

I actually did a double-take look and thought "johndelve" was meaning Otis Leavill ! Now I'm starting to wonder(...as it was written by "Butler" I assumed that must have been Billy Butler).Are there any BB unreleased stuff out "there" -has he sung this song? I am very interested,if anyone can help clarify?

Wouldn't say it brings me to tears but this never fails to stir up the emotions Originals Baby I'm for real always loved it and stops me in my tracks whenever played.

Great selection, would agree with all of those though I have a slight preference for Walter Jackson's version of Coldest Days of My Life.

You could also include the whole of Sam Dees' album - got to be one of the best ever made.

and as above ASK THE LONELY , remember listening to some Northern Soul thing on the Radio one New Years Eve , pissed up by myself at home and some guy requested this for his Girlfriend ? who had passed away with cancer and I was blubbing like a baby , still wonder how he is .
