Mickey Finn Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 The arrangement on this is beautiful, treading a fine line between upbeat and melancholy ... David Ruffin, singing his heart out: 1
Mickey Finn Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 And I posted this elsewhere on here quite recently, but as "sad" Records go, this by Jimmie Delphs pretty much tops it for me - once again the combination of vocals, lyrics and arrangement, just beautiful:
Twoshoes Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Only found this recently trawling YouTube , thankfully haven't had cause to wallow in someone else's misery since I met my wonderful fiancé though there were many times prior to that when this would have got a spin

Mickey Finn Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 One of my desert island discs is the criminally underrated "Then came you" by Dionne Warwick, produced by Jerry Ragovoy. The whole album boasts great production and good songs, including this: 1
Mickey Finn Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 This sits in the middle of three absolutely wonderful tracks on side A of the album of the same name by Bobby Womack. Many hours spent with this in contemplation:
Mickey Finn Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Jazz pianist McCoy Tyner's 1982 LP "Looking out" featured a few tracks with Phyllis on lead vocals, and this track in particular gets me every time ... great vocals, great musicianship:

Bbrich Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) I dont think i have heard a sadder song than when i turned over Masters of Soul - Do you really love me to see what the flip was like... I've only played it a few times and then usually have to take it off before the end, its too much... but if you haven't heard it before do play it right thro' at least the once (there are lots of versions of this song of course but i dont think any come over like this one).. Edited October 23, 2017 by bbrich added a sentence 1
