ImberBoy Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Ever heard two songs by the same artist that sound so unlike you suspect they are by two different people? The Snake by Al Wilson and Show and tell, sounds like two different geezers! LJ Reynolds & Chocolate Syrup - What's A Matter Baby and Your Magic Put A Spell On Me, One sounds like Otis Redding the other sounds like Smokey Robinson? Check out LJ Reynolds - Key To The World, this is what's making me go "oooooooooh" today! Quite fookin brilliant!!!
Simsy Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Ever heard two songs by the same artist that sound so unlike you suspect they are by two different people? Heard Ben E King - 'Getting to me' on Saturday night. Compared with 'Can't break the news' and others, sounds like a different artist as the vocal is so deep on getting to me..
ImberBoy Posted March 13, 2007 Author Posted March 13, 2007 Al Wilson - Touch And Go sounds like Walter Jackson - touching in the dark or was it the acid tab I dropped for lunch! How can any fooker say oou scene is stale when there is so much soul to discover and enjoy! Good to be alive when you hear a sound that moves ya, brillliannnnnnnnnnttttttttttttttttt.
Pete S Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 LJ Johnson did Your magic put a spell on me, no wonder he sounds different to LJ reynolds
Peter99 Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Check out LJ Reynolds - Key To The World, this is what's making me go "oooooooooh" today! Quite fookin brilliant!!! Quite - indeed fooking great toon mate.
Crumb Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 I need my baby - Jackie Beavers but he must have had extremly tight trousers on when he recorded Come back my love
Bigsoulman Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Heard Ben E King - 'Getting to me' on Saturday night. Compared with 'Can't break the news' and others, sounds like a different artist as the vocal is so deep on getting to me.. Funny I thought that as well but did'nt want to upset Ady by saying "are you sure"
Simsy Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Funny I thought that as well but did'nt want to upset Ady by saying "are you sure" I think he's covered it all these years .. Sounds exactly like Ben E to me. You can't mean it! I'll post up a couple, see what folk think ..
pikeys dog Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Eddie Holman - I Surrender Sounds like two different singers on the same record. Spyder Turner - When he starts doing the impersonations of other singers on "Stand By Me"
Simsy Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Heard Ben E King - 'Getting to me' on Saturday night. Compared with 'Can't break the news' and others, sounds like a different artist as the vocal is so deep on getting to me.. Getting to me - ben e king - atco Walking in the footsteps of a fool - ben e king -
Gene-r Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 (edited) The lead singer of the Soul Blenders, who recorded "Tightrope/Driving Me Mad" on Knight, was supposedely Gary Sol'e. On listening to the echoey vocals on "Driving Me Mad", I could have sworn it was actually Jim Davidson doing his 'Chalky' routine in a toilet! Edited March 13, 2007 by Gene-R
Sebastian Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I think he's covered it all these years .. A tune with the title "Gettin' To Me" is in the recording logs for Ben E. King's Atco material. And it sure sounds like him. He had an incredible vocal range and there are plenty of hidden nuggets amongst his Atco recordings. A fantastic artist in my opinion. Listen to the voice on the tune below.
Sebastian Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Forgive This Fool - ben e. king - atco Another more uptempo one.
Sebastian Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 It's Amazing - ben e. king - atco One of Ben's best recordings ever in my opinion.
Sebastian Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 It's No Good For Me - ben e. king - atco lp Top notch depressing stuff! LP-only.
ImberBoy Posted March 14, 2007 Author Posted March 14, 2007 Jim Davidson doing his 'Chalky' routine in a toilet! Brilliantttttttttttt I am sure Jim Davidson was behind "Man of value" I have a version of it by Jim Davidson.
