Andrea Ko Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 why on earth they had to block youtube in my office?!!
Steve W Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 This one is fantastic x I don't know what it is about Brenda Reids voice but it reaches every bone in my body. I can't remember if i have seen her live during mid seventies in the "reaching for the best period" but even in my youth full state I am sure I would have remembered that voice. I'm not sure if she was there then but I know Herb Rooney was. Fantastic post. 1
arnie j Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 and one of the best ever in my opinion,faye crawford-what have i done wrong stafford heaven ! 3
KevH Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I had one of these for sale yesterday and nobody bought it. Unbelievable. I've never heard such a heartbreaking performance such as Big Maybelle's on Oh Lord etc, especially right near the end where it has a chord change and she almost cries asshe sings. An amazing record. A thousand blights on the soul community.!!! Someone buy it to balance the yin - yang of the universe.!!!
Shelly74 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 and one of the best ever in my opinion,faye crawford-what have i done wrong stafford heaven ! love that one, wasn't it c/u as June Edwards? or am I getting it mixed up with another?? x
Shelly74 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Oh - My - God The Ster-Phonics - Don't Leave me...new one to me, wow liking it x
Slim Jim Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I had one of these for sale yesterday and nobody bought it. Unbelievable. I've never heard such a heartbreaking performance such as Big Maybelle's on Oh Lord etc, especially right near the end where it has a chord change and she almost cries asshe sings. An amazing record. I saw that and for a very reasonable price . Anyone I know who hears this falls in love with it , what emotion she puts into it but then judging by the hard life she had she was sure singing it for real . I always play this as an ender when I'm djing 1
Ljblanken Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 I saw that and for a very reasonable price . Anyone I know who hears this falls in love with it , what emotion she puts into it but then judging by the hard life she had she was sure singing it for real . I always play this as an ender when I'm djing i have this record and it is listed as Scepter 1279 (with "same old story" on the other side - great tune also)... question: when i looked up on "solufulkindamusic" discography it says: Scepter 1279 - Oh Lord, What Are You Doing To Me / ? - 1964 (unissued, instead released on this number was The Younger Brothers with " Harmonica Lesson / Ya Gotta Believe Me") what does this mean?
Shelly74 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) just love this... are these the same girl group that sang 'it's got to be a great song' spelling Tiffanies? x Edited February 17, 2015 by JustASoulie
Gointoagogo Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Oh - My - God I've never managed to get one of these yet. It's a cracking track but it's the other side that does it for me and one you rarely hear. 1
The Yank Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 i have this record and it is listed as Scepter 1279 (with "same old story" on the other side - great tune also)... question: when i looked up on "solufulkindamusic" discography it says: Scepter 1279 - Oh Lord, What Are You Doing To Me / ? - 1964 (unissued, instead released on this number was The Younger Brothers with " Harmonica Lesson / Ya Gotta Believe Me") what does this mean? I think it means "soulful..." made a mistake. I thought something didn't seem right so I went on "....frenzy" and found plenty of copies ranging from $15- $50ish depending on condition.

Maark Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Always struck me as an underrated example of this sound at its very best. Dean & Jean ‘Silly Little Girl’ That's great and I've never heard it before.
Mal C Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Has anybody mentioned Chi Chi yet? she fits perfectly into this category, very much in the Patti & the Emblems old I guess... throw in Rhetta Hughes - Cry Myself To Sleep... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMpyinYqO2k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvWiLicMtHw ohh and this one.. brilliant track, Sharon Marshall - Where did you leave your heart.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9S4iWFs2nhs mal.C :-)) 2

Geoff Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Always struck me as an underrated example of this sound at its very best. Dean & Jean ‘Silly Little Girl’ This is very slightly reminiscent of the Shirelles' Foolish Little Girl. I love all these ones being posted, this style is right up my street musically, so soulful. 1

Guest Gogs Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Had to watch the use of my likes button. Going to add this, one of my fav's. think it deserves a mention
Shelly74 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) This female recorded as Sylvia Shemwell as well as being in the the female group The Sweet Inspirations x Edited February 19, 2015 by JustASoulie 2
Shelly74 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 slightly more uptempo but think it fits in with some of the other links on here, going to stop 'hugging' this thread for a while and give others a chance to put their tunes on xx 1
Pete S Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 love this x Great record - I used to play this as a kid via my Moms copy of Billy Fury's version! 1
Geoff Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Great record - I used to play this as a kid via my Moms copy of Billy Fury's version! Slightly off topic but I've got a version of Run To My Loving Arms on my PC by Lenny Welch, can't remember where I got it from, certainly not on the CDs I've got of his material. Perhaps he did the demo.

Geoff, you were right about the Lenny Welch version, that's on Kapp and is excellent - but I don't think there was any Jimmy Radcliffe involvement in this song, I might be wrong

Geoff Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 This one was mentioned in the thread about the late Lesley Gore, fits right into this thread imo. 1
Pete S Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Lesley does a nice version of The Inspirations "What Am I Gonna Do With You" as well
Ljblanken Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 i LOVE this one. forgot about it til now... 2
Shelly74 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 i LOVE this one. forgot about it til now... it's got a 'popcorn' feel about it? x 1
Ljblanken Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 yes! i started a thread on SS a long time ago specifically asking if the "Stafford sound" (which, to my limited knowledge would include many of the songs featured on this thread) was in any way related to the Belgian Popcorn scene. they seem to have a large overlap to me. 1
