Rick Smith Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Syl Johnson = Is it because I'm black Miserable but brilliant. https://youtu.be/6JNwqRF32ZI 1
Bertrand Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 This one comes to mind. Certainly not going to be on anyones wedding playlist! 1
Tlscapital Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) Do not attempt to listen to this if you suffer from a serious case of "blues" heartbreak... Edited July 15, 2018 by tlscapital
Amsterdam Russ Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Misery is not only a state of mind - it's also a destination!
Steve S 60 Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 A bit of teenage angst from Darrow Fletcher - My Young Misery...... 1
Guest Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Brings tears to the eyes, but pure 100% quality. My fave Temps track ever. Simply sublime.
Tomangoes Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 The old Wigan fave....never did much elsewhere as I recall. Ed 2
Carty Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Seems like The Temptations are getting their fair share one way or other , my personal favourite piece of Temptations soulful miserability is " Since I Lost My Baby "

Guest Soulatthedale Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 There's miserable and there's gut wrenching, these 2 Vietnam tales fall into the latter. Freddie Scott Johnnys Hill. Zerban R Hicks Lights Out.
Davenpete Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Can't find it on Youtube, but one jolly tune we used to like was the RnB growler 'Misery' by Henry Stogen on Sylvia/Lamp records. Dx 1

Rick Cooper Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 This should come with a warning before playing, painful and hard to listen to. Walter Jackson - The Bed 1
Guest Shufflin Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 this takes some beating, it's all about death and being buried, but the Carolyn Sullivan one is Grimm too

daveraby Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 What about 'Born a loser' by Don Ray? One of the most depressing tunes of all time. 2

grantdyche Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 Back in the day,This was a monster tune,Made me as miserable as hell,I really did not like it at all,Seemed to be so out of touch with the 100mph scene at the time,Nowadays I love it ! 2
Scootboy Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 You can't go wrong with Paris Blues and The Drifter

Gointoagogo Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Wendy Rene sounds really miserable on these two tracks - don't think they came out on vinyl though?
