Is it big in your neck of the woods? Ed Here in Spain Los Bravos were authentic legends. The three anthems by them were "Black Is Black", "Los Chicos con las Chicas" and "Bring A Little Lovin". Were in the airwaves constantly and at TV and also they made a film called "Los Chicos con las Chicas". Many soul aficionados and some musical critics recognize them jointly with Los Canarios and Los Pop Tops feat. Phil Trim as their first "black music" influences in the late 60's - first 70's and I remember Mike Kennedy in an interview saying how he admired Joe Tex and Covay. I was aged around 7 - 8 years old when "Black Is Black" smashed. Much after at the disco were I worked as barman in my student years the DJ's played the cover by the euro-disco female trio Belle Époque.
The Yank Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I believe this guy was a Blue Eyed Soul Singer. Can anyone confirm this ?
The Yank Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I think I read somewhere these two were white. Anyone have a pic ?

Guest Shufflin Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 this one blue eyed soul? quite nice for early sixties with a good little beat to it...popcorn sound?
Davenpete Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Chicago - Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? - from the Mecca I believe (Les Cokell loved this). The MBs Another Day - rare as hell, but it really DOES sound like the sodding Merseybeats! Dx 1

Guest Shufflin Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 and one I actually own, heard this played out as a cover up years back, cracker

If it was available on a 45 it'd be $$$$$$!

I have it from my teens in a compilation by spanish K-Tel label (a collection year by year from 1960 to first 70s' called "Jukebox Revival"), I purchased the volume dedicated to the year 1968 because includes "I Can't Stop Dancin'" by Archie Bell & The Drells and "Sleep Away" by Clarence Carter but I was immediately impressed by the track by The O'Kaysons, and also by the (IMHO) highly soul flavored "Stormy" by Classic IV feat. Dennis Yost (a white group on wich the only black member is the sax player) and by another great "blue eyed soul" track by GARY PUCKETT, "Lady Willpower" (in fact I have seen soul compilations CD's including this track): Edited January 24, 2018 by josep manuel concernau robles
Tomangoes Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Another youthy tune and I thought Larry Henley RIP was a girl for years! Ed 1

The Yank Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Great Blue Eyed Soul from Philly with lead vocals from a young Darryl Hall. Reminds me a lot of the Ringleaders' "Baby What Has Happened ...". Edited January 24, 2018 by the yank 1

Guest Josep Manuel Concernau Robles Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Thanks for your correction about Ben Aiken, Tomangoes. I remember when at Soulfuldetroit forum there was this same discussion and somebody explains about some white male vocalist on Philly Groove (or I don't well recall,...?). On Philly Groove there was (I think) some single by the late white singer - songwriter Linda Creed. Thanks also to Soul - Slider, but I don't knows nothing about Ben Atkins before your post.

Jaco Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 I’ve not contributed to this thread but I’ve always believed that ‘Let’s go round again’ by the Average White Band to be an absolutely fantastic record. So on that basis I guess it belongs here. 1
