Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) Non soul "I can't make you love me" Bonnie Raitt. Please tell me what qualifies Bonnie Raitt as 'non-soul'? Is it because she's a redhead, maybe? It takes very little to make me start crying to a record these days. The Miracles' "More, More, More Of Your Love" set me off this morning, and there's nothing even remotely sad about that. A couple of days ago, I was singing along with "The Kids Are Alright" by the Who and I got too choked to finish the verse. There are many records, soul or non-soul, that I will never be able to listen to again because just thinking about them makes me well up. Don't get me started, please.

Sean Hampsey Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Oh Lord, quite a few that do that to me, going back over the years... Smokey & The Miracles "Who's Gonna Take The Blame".. memories of my first love (when I was 13... and she was only 12!). Jackie Wilson "Just As Soon As The Feeling Is Over"... another personal thing... from when I was a few years older. Walter Jackson "Not You"... Has there ever been a more meloncholy record? "I can't believe it's true" James Carr "These Aint Raindrops"... just slays me. And finally... the incredible Bobby McClure "To Get What You Got"... is my favourite all timer but I daren't play it too often... cos it always leaves me wrecked. There are loads more.

The Fantastic Four do an amazing track with a very similar title. 'Just the Lonely' is the B side of 'Can't stop looking'...it doesn't make me cry tho'. The Arthur Alexander track 'I need you baby' on Monument does it for me. I can't play it any more as it was played at Randy's funeral and it makes me too sad.

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 JAMES CARR DARK END OF THE STREET ....IN fact any of his slow emotional stuff...the man lived and died a tortuous life....poor mental health...addiction and finally suicide...chewed up by the music world.....left him with nothing.... Sorry for temporarily hijacking this thread, but I need to correct a few misapprehensions that you are labouring under... James did not commit suicide, he died from lung cancer (although, as he was a smoker, I suppose you could argue that 'suicide' is a by product of cancer, if self inflicted). James was also not addicted to anything at the time of his death. He was taking prescription medicine to stabilise his mental condition, but he was no more an addict by the 1990s than I am, with my two pills a day for my blood pressure. There's no doubting that it was his substance dependence in the late 60s and early 70s that did for his career back then, but he was only taking what he had to take in the later years of his life and during his second career. Finally, James received royalties on the two albums that he made for and with his mentor and friend Quinton Claunch. following his early 90s comeback. Unfortunately Ace bought Goldwax too late for James to become the direct beneficiary. his family gets paid on every copy of every CD or vinyl that has come out on Kent, and will continue to do so as we have no intention of deleting any of it... So, not totally chewed up by the music world, didn't die completely potless, wasn't on anything other than prescription drugs and didn't take his own life. But you got one thing right. He did make many, many incredible records... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
