Kjw Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Records upon first hearing that blow you away ..... I have just heard a record for the first time that has simply blown me away ..... That record was " This Is My Song " by Ray Pollard .... A simply blinding version of the Harry Secombe / Petula Clarke standard ; I just cannot believe what I have heard ..... So soulful , so heart wrenching , so brilliant ; words cannot do it justice ..... What record you have heard recently that has this affect of you ? Nathan Williams - What Price Never get tired of hearing it Malc Burton Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Phild Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Without a doubt - the intro is soooooo High Energy. The backing is far too electronic sounding. And it goes on for about a minute too long. On the plus side the blokes got a decent set of pipes, shame the backing spoils it. Maybe Ian ought to drop the production side and concentrate on the writing, passing the lyrics onto someone who can do the singers justice? It was made in 2007, not 1967. The backing doesn't sound electronic to me, sounds like real instruments. Some of it sampled maybe but real instruments nonetheless. But why dissect it like this. it's a damn good northern dance track IMO, and I'm sure plenty would get up and dance to it, were it played out.

pikeys dog Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 You asked why I thought it was poor - how could I tell you without dissecting it? Next time I'll just say "because it's shit"... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Plenty of people are into having nails knocked into their knackers, doesn't mean to say I want to join them in their passtime. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Very sorry Chief Inspector Pikeys Dog of the Soul Police. I obviously haven't got a clue about soul, northern soul or even music in general. I will in future stop posting and bothering you soul gurus and just watch on in wonder, with a forlorn hope of maybe learning something. Once again, my apologies.

Don't get the arse just because I think one track is shite - it's all about personal opinions. Soul Police - you're avvin a tin baff aincha? I'd have been banged up for crimes against Northern Soul years ago for even liking R&B that borders on Rock n' Roll. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Phild Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 OMG we agree on something at long last R&B! It would appear that we do - amazing. However my finding RnB for the most part tedious and distasteful obviously still doesn't qualify me to have an opinion on anything Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

However my finding RnB for the most part tedious and distasteful obviously still doesn't qualify me to have an opinion on anything I must stress it is the Rockabilly, Danny & The Junior, greasy quiff waving type of RnB that i don't like. There ain't nothing wrong with a little bump n grind however Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
