Guest Dr Bob Jones Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 On the back of Mobbsy's thread re Bettye Lavette , has anyone ever checked out the cd 'ATLANTIC SISTERS OF SOUL' ? There's some wicked deep 'n' soulful tunes on this, one of my fav female artists comps, not sure if it ever surfaced on vinyl. Never the less this is still a superb soul album- not a naff cut on it. Dear Lover - Mary Wells I Don't Know - Baby Washington A Woman Will Do Wrong - Dee Dee Sharp Why (Am I Treated So Bad) - The Sweet Inspirations (Until Then) I'll Suffer - Barbara Lynn Sister Pitiful - Judy ClayShake A Hand - Toby Lark Mojo Hannah - Tammi Lynn Wish Someone Would Care - Mary Lou Can I Be Your Main Thing - Margie Alexander Wonderful, Marvelous - Jackie Moore What A Man - Laura Lee Can I Hold You To It - Lorraine Johnson She Didn't Know (She Kept On Talking) - Dee Dee WarwickWho Are You Gonna Love (Your Woman Or Your Wife) - Rozetta Johnson Unsatisfied Woman - Jean BattleSet Me Free - Esther Phillips Full Time Woman - Irma Thomas Your Turn To Cry - Betty Lavette Don't Try To Take The Fifth - The Pointer Sisters Victim Of A Foolish Heart - Bettye Swann I Do Believe That I'm Losing You - One'sy Mack Sweet Surrender - Margie JosephRegards Dr Bob Jones
Guest Dr Bob Jones Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Sorry about the sample links on this thread, they don't seem to be working on my Mac. Apologies for any inconvenience caused Doh.... Dr Bob Jones
Sean Hampsey Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Bought it when new Bob... and you're right... a superb compilation. Thoroughly recommend the Lorraine Johnson "Can I Hold You To It" track to all Soul Sourcers and the deeper cuts from Jean Battle, Barbara Lynn, Irma Thomas etc are indispensible. Top Tip Bob. Sean
Jim Cafferky Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Hi Can only agree wholeheartedly re this CD - some tracks wre played by richard searling on his radio show when it was released New favourite each time I play it Current best track would be Dee Dee Warwick kept on talking - gets better every time you play it Jim
Biggordy Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I got a copy of this from EBay a couple of years ago for only a fiver! Another great CD to check out that's similar is Kent's brilliant "The Girl's Got Soul", more Atlantic stable goodness. These two CDs were my first exposure to Rozetta Johnson, who's right up there in my top soul female singers. Regards Gordy
harly7 Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Bought it when new Bob... and you're right... a superb compilation. Top Tip Bob. Sean Me too. Absolutely Fabulous as they say. Stand-out tracks for me are Margie Alexander and Betty Lavette both of which i picked up for around the £5.00 mark - gotta love these two. Incidentally i saw Ms Lavette sing this track when she did a little show over in Shepherds Bush last year. Goosebumps time !! martin

A great collection and before the days when they would put out a vinyl double album as an alternative sound source.
