Soul-slider Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Just putting together a 'Blue-eyed Soul' compilation CD and was wondering whether I could include these Northern classics? I'm guessing they are white artists? Ronnie & Robyn Cobblestone? Ben Zine? Paula Durante? The Jades (I'm Where It's At)? Wombat? Living Color / Mystery ? Men (Thank The Lord For Love)? Dawn (Love Is A Magic Word) or the other Dawn (I Believe They're All Talking About Me)? William Bonny? Edited June 20, 2017 by Soul-Slider 1

I'm guessing they are white artists? Living Color / Mystery ? Men (Thank The Lord For Love)? Living Color are surely a black group? Apart from the fact that they sound black, the record has solid Chicago soul producers on both sides. I also think you're going off a bootleg as City Skies is a different 45. The flip of Thank the Lord is Gotta Good Feeling, which again sounds black. City Skies is instrumental and I've never yet come across a way of determining whether session musicians are blue eyed just by listening.... 2

There is a photo on one of the youtube clips of the Poets blew a good thing which shows a white group. The Poets on Red Bird are black and went on to become Main Ingredient.

I would say, if they are referring to the picture below, with the high trousers and white socks it actually looks like a group of circa 1979/80 Mod revivalists. Edited June 9, 2017 by Soul-Slider

Windlesoul Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) The Rivieras, Greater Experience, Anthony & Aqualads, Ron Moody & Centaurs, Embers, Berkshire 7, Athens Rogues, The Generation, Bob Collins & Fab Five, The Chantells, In-Men Ltd. and 8 million other Va / Carolinas / Georgia bands. However, doing it right and obtaining licencing of these for an official blue eyed soul CD comp (if the idea is for anything other than personal use) is a whole other kettle of fish...

Hill868 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Literally hundreds of tracks feat. white vocalists, but mentioning Dawn - don't forget the fantastic Northern (old Wigan biggie) ' Baby's gone away ' on ABC - what a super 60's dance floor stormer, why do you never hear it out ? 2
Frankie Crocker Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Presumably this is a CD for yourself rather than commercial release? To me, 'blue eyed soul' is where you clearly have a white singing voice with a soulful backing track for example the Outsiders, Tom Jones, loads of Beach Music sounds etc. Some of the tracks referred to in the thread are so 'black sounding', they can hardly be classed as 'blue eyed', and in fact, are so embedded as classic soul sounds, no one would regard them as 'blue eyed'.
