Alan T Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 R.I.P Rance A vocal range from falsetto to bass and anything in between, an incredible voice. I played this to a friend only a few days ago as an album track recommendation. The Rance Allen Group - Where Did I go wrong - Stax 1980 3
Scootboy Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 R.I.P. Rance Allen What a voice, he is probably closer to the Man now 1
Popular Post Mike Posted October 31, 2020 Popular Post Posted October 31, 2020 yet more sad news hearing his version of Showdown opened my ears/mind back then in the 70s fast forward 30 years from then and he was still doing it 5
Michael V Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Sad news-a fine artist with a remarkable voice.His version of Archie Bell's 'Showdown' was a favourite of this Mike,too
Tomangoes Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 RIP Rance Indeed Showdown reaches places above and beyond. Bought the album from Tandy about 78 and instantly fell in love with his voice. Ed
Colnago Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Terrific performance, a firm favourite of mine 2

Mickey Finn Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 Very sad news indeed. Few singers could match him for range and sheer depth of emotion. RIP and thank you. 1

Tlscapital Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 One voice, load of compositions and many devotees. R.I.P. the pain-ter +
Soulstrutter Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Conspiracy theorist are out speculating that he died of Covid-19!! He released a single only on 18th Oct in collaboration with Mydason and posted a message on Mydason's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Mydason/) on 28th Oct - although listening to it it does look as if it was recorded before 18th Oct as he asks people to buy it on 18th Oct. - but would they have posted it on 28th Oct if they knew he had / was dying of Covid? 11 days after his death I've finally pulled together a 'Very Best Of' compilation of Rance Allen's tunes after going through his complete 50 year catalogue. Narrowed it down to 50 with the obvious and not so obvious. Man could this guy sing! https://soulstrutter.blogspot.com/2020/11/rance-allen-rip-20111948-31102020.html Playlist in chronological order of release (i.e. not a chart!): 1
