Guest NASHEE Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 (edited) Darlene Love - Oh Lord if your'e a Woman Gives me goosebumps Edited November 17, 2006 by NASHEE
Guest Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Been reading through this thread and getting goose pimples and near to tears just reading the lyrics never mind with hearing them, two that spring to mind....Faye Crawford "What Have I Done", my ex sent me this on a tape when we split, cried me bloomin' eyes out , Carl Hall "What's Come Over You", great singer Carl, pours his heart out here. And then there's Jimmy Conwell on a more upbeat but no less heartfelt tune by The Exits " I'm So Glad", absolutely lovely......mmmm.
Guest NASHEE Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 oh lord if you're a woman - darlene love -
Guest Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 "That's the wonder......the wonder of you" Gut wrenching indeed,whether Port Vale win or lose.....always brings a tear to me ol' Stokie eyes... ;-) (We won't mention Delilah here obviously......oooops!)

Winnie :-) Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 To mese these kind of songs define soul music itself and set it apart from other forms of music. Few can deliver a lyric of this type with more power, honesty, humanity and emotional intensity than Otis Clay. Check "You Hurt Me For The Last Time", "Tired Of Falling In And Out Of Love", "The Woman Doesn't Live Here Anymore", "Love Don't Love Nobody", "Pouring Water On A Drowning Man", "You're Gonna Hate Yourself In The Morning" (from the pen of the aforementioned Sam Dees), the immortal "That's How It Is" and my current favourite, "I Lost Someone" for stellar examples of his uncanny ability to translate others' lyrics of pain, regret and recrimination. Truly a spectacular exemplification of the consummate soul singer's art. But my favourite example of this type of soul song is Denise LaSalle's "Trying To Forget About You". Words can't express how wonderful this record is, and the line on the fade where she sings "... and if I ever find myself crawling to your door again, I'm gonna stay right there, stay right there, until you let me in..." before breaking into what can only be described as an anguished howl is one of the greatest, truest parts in all recorded soul music. The lp version has a precious extra twenty or so seconds of the agony and is well worth seeking out. ============= Absolutely love this record. Can't not mention 'show and tell'........awesome.
Guest mrs norman maine Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 (edited) Did you mean Charlie Rich? If so agree, most definitely. Sean I most certainly did. Now I feel a right Charlie " (<- will that do as a crying emoticon?) yes, thank you! Edited November 17, 2006 by mrs norman maine
Guest Ollie Lailey Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 For me Lonely Lover - Jimmy Mcfarland this does me in every time i hear it......... Like someone else said Jimmy bo horne..I cant speak..... Also Pieces Of A Man - Gill Scott Heron really gets me reaching for the mansize........
Codfromderby Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 the one that gets me is "dont leave me baby" by ray gant and the arabian knights, it starts off nice and slow then he comes in with "i cant stop crying" and from then on its lump in the throat stuff, almost the same with homer banks "sometimes it makes me wanna cry" not original or different lyrics but they certainly hit the spot.
Mark Bicknell Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Jimmy Gilford - Heartbreaker. Roy Hamilton - The Panic Is On. Still do it for me. Mark Bicknell.
Monique Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Sandra Stephens If you really love Me Jimmy Burns-- It used to be Fred Paris-I'll be hanging on Esther Phillips Just Say goodbye Love Charlie Rich and Jimmy bo Horne and Ray Gant as well Sue
Guest Adam G Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Rainy Night in Georgia - david ruffin - motown unreleased lp hip o select cd Great
Guest denmac Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 is there a crying emoticon? Expressed perfectly. This is also the reason I don't like seeing live acts. I get too nervous for them & worry that they might be pinning their hopes on a career revival. How patronising am I? Someone mentioned Clydie King, so I've got to add " If you were a man" Plus (ooh I love a sad thread):Charlie Pride-"Don't tear me down" Big Maybelle "Lord what are you doing to me" and "Do not pass me by" and Esther Phillips " Home is where the hatred is" Oh dear! my alltime favorite female singer from her days with jonnie otis at 14 years old to her atlantic years.. just say goodbye, catch me ime falling.,.,.then she recorded the tune rthat must have turned her apart. imagine you have a habit with heroin(ok most of us cant i hope). keep sayin qutit. but did youy ever try sadly it beat her..
Steve Edgar Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 ....... just playing Barbara Hall flip ov "You Brought It On Yourself".... "Drop My Heart Of At The Door"... now that gotta be one ov the best gut wrenchers imo steve
Steve Edgar Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Milton Harris "She's hurting Me".... AWESOME.... if only for that line..... "Whenever she is near, I mustn't stand too close to her, or she might hear my heart and know that it wants her so" Wasn't this once covered as Jimmy Gilford "I must'nt let her see me cry"?? steve
Guest denmac Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 marva lee whitney_dont come a knockin loma records. marva builds up this resistance till she says.,.,., dont stop knocking baby... uuummmmph tune or what.
Guest Bogue Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Really surprised no one plumped for 'Ray Pollard - The Drifter', brought a lump to my throat listening to it on many occasion.
Guest in town Mikey Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Really surprised no one plumped for 'Ray Pollard - The Drifter', brought a lump to my throat listening to it on many occasion. good shout. This must be the only ever thread about tunes that nobody has mentioned Guitar Ray -How many more years, are you gonna wreck my life DOH

Sweeney Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Really surprised no one plumped for 'Ray Pollard - The Drifter', brought a lump to my throat listening to it on many occasion. Look at post #41 in this topic and be surprised no more...
Steve Edgar Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Oh lord what are you doing to me - Big Maybelle Big Maybelle didnt sing this........ she lived it!! Awesome choice, one of Soul's finest moments in my book.... Burt Keyes an Tony Bruno at their best for me steve
Guest Rich Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Don't leave me baby - ray gant and the arabians - jay walking the one that gets me is "dont leave me baby" by ray gant and the arabian knights, it starts off nice and slow then he comes in with "i cant stop crying" and from then on its lump in the throat stuff, almost the same with homer banks "sometimes it makes me wanna cry"not original or different lyrics but they certainly hit the spot.Here you go in surround sound - always think of grown blokes crying into pint pots at Thorne when I hear this
Guest Rich Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I don't have the time to love you - george jackson - mercury A particular tear-jerkin' fave' of min
Guest Bogue Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Look at post #41 in this topic and be surprised no more... Apologies Sweeny. That's worrying that is because there is a reply too ! I looked through twice too ! A classic anyway
Guest Hunnymon Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 For me Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes "I Miss You" Part2 stands head and shoulders above all else. Harolds on the phone making small talk to his ex while Teddys telling us all what he is really feeling deep down inside "I know you've found someone new and I just don't know what to do". It's all too much for me!
Guest Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 STERWARDS ENQUIRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST BEEN LISTENING TO STEVIE'S LATELY "Lately I've been staring in the mirror, very slowly picking me apart.

Guest SteveC Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Take a listen to David Ruffin - especially at the midway change point of I don't know why I love you on the sounds page. Wish he could have added some feeling and passion to the track
Guest mrs norman maine Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 This must be the only ever thread about tunes that nobody has mentioned Guitar Ray -How many more years, are you gonna wreck my life DOH Mmmm....check out post 42....silly gubbins! Now, why hasn't anyone mentioned Rufus Lumley?
Guest Bogue Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) Mmmm....check out post 42....silly gubbins! Now, why hasn't anyone mentioned Rufus Lumley? It was just a cryptic way of telling me that i haden't read the posts thoroughly Well cryptic or sarcy ?, though i'm sure you would never stoop to that would you Mikey ? Edited November 19, 2006 by Bogue
Maria O Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 So what other lyrics capture the sadness and poigniancy of lost love? With respect to 'lost love', some of that general theme that still do me some damage inside, are: Sea Shells - Quiet Home Maxine Brown - Don't Leave Me Baby Eddie Hughes - Soul Searcher Psychodelic Frankie - Putting You Out Of My Life Byrdie Green - Don't Make It Hurt Out-Of-Sights - For the Rest of My Life Chuck Holliday - Just Can't Trust Nobody Linda Jones - What've I Done To Make You Mad The Inticers - Since You Left m
PS-Soul Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 May have missed them earlier but what about:- Eddie Whitehead - Just Your Fool Tempests - I Don't Want To Lose Her Johnny Gilliam - Roomful of Tears James Brown - I Lost Someone Chuck Jackson - What's With This Loneliness All top tunes not played enough IMO. Paul & Sue
Corbett80 Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 (edited) Charles Perry - How Can I - Mutt & Jeff insanely sad Ann Byers - Happy Without You - Academy shes kidding herself Al Scott - What Happened To Yesterday - Genuine 'you said you'd always stand by me' And theres an incredible record which is the flip of 'Mr. Romance' I think (is it Sonny Parker??) called 'What Can I Do' thats gut wrenching stuff..... Edited November 20, 2006 by mulf
pikeys dog Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 (edited) Hows about Annabelle Fox? Edited November 20, 2006 by pikeys dog
PS-Soul Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 just thought of a few more before this thread drys up especially with all the tears shed so far. Lonely man am I , ever since you said goodbye , girl I know that I should have woke up coz it seems now that we've broke up, your farewell kiss is haunting me ,my 2 lips cry out constantly, let your heart let your heart be your guide, forget about your foolish pride etc,etc,etc Classic Temps - (Loneliness Made Me Realise) It's You That I Need Darrell Banks - I'm The One Who Loves You and who could forget the awesome Volumes - Same Old Feeling with the words I sit in the corner and tears fill my eyes and also I cry to myself when nobodys there , classic tune, great lyrics. one more to finish J R Bailey - Love Won't Wear Off As The Years Wear On - SUPERB Paul & Sue
Simsy Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Apologies Sweeny. That's worrying that is because there is a reply too ! I looked through twice too ! A classic anyway Not quite the same emotional impact as the Drifter Perhaps. However this little ditty, also by the late great Ray Pollard is a close second in terms of gut wrench worthiness imo.

However this little ditty, also by the late great Ray Pollard is a close second in terms of gut wrench worthiness imo. Gut_Wrench_Ray.mp3 Finally got myself a copy a few months back, hardly been off the turntable since, Wonderful tune, just love it Just had a look at the video of him performing it at the 100 club, i bet that was some night, really envious here
Simsy Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Just had a look at the video of him performing it at the 100 club, i bet that was some night, really envious here Ah man, it was. Video doesn't really do his voice justice, he was fantastic. I liberated the poster from that night, still got it somewhere.
Guest Bogue Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Ah man, it was. Video doesn't really do his voice justice, he was fantastic. I liberated the poster from that night, still got it somewhere. Yeh I guessed the sound wasn't right, the music always tends to dominate if not recorded on proper studio equipment, but you could still tell his voice was still in fine working order. If only we had thought of holding on to posters & the like in the 70's, could be worth a fortune by now.
Guest Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 Freddie Scott - Hey girl Walter Jackson - Uphill climb to the bottom yes uphill climb to the bottom west brom`s theme tune for last season but hopefully not for this season also eddie holman "i`m not gonna give up" he belts the hell out of this tune. all the best
Steve Edgar Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 Rainy Night in Georgia - david ruffin - motown unreleased lp hip o select cd GreatIs this a fantastic version or is it not? never a fan of David as a person... but as a singer.... there is not many to touch him imo. I always thort Brook Benton done this to perfection till I heard david's rendition. The un-issued LP that this was from would have been seminal imosteve
