Guest vinylvixen Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Sombrero Soul is a great genre but I'm not even convinced that Mariachi Soul is a subset. Hmm, I need to have serious discussion with Alan Personally I'm slightly more interested in whether Cornetto Vendor Soul (big voiced ballads typically sung by Italian Americans a la Tony Middleton) can include anything by Tom Jones? Thoughts anyone? Gareth/Alan/Jo? Again, an excellent point Stuart.....I think the Explosive Mr Jones is a sub genre in his own right...Las Vegas Larynx so I don't think he can qualify to be a member of the CVS Genre....not quite 'Cornetto' enough Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Two soul tunes that sounds with mexican reminiscenses to my ears: - The O'Jays: "Rented Tuxedo" - The Dramatics: "I'll Make It So Good" (the vocals at the intro is totally "mariachi style") Peace & Soul Food (and a salute to Macca from another spaniard, from Tarragona) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Stuart T Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hmmm, so Tom Jones is his own genre? Needs a name though, for both him and Dame Shirley, Valley Soul perhaps? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

He's multi talented, that Mr Middleton - one minute he can rustle up a CVS ballad and the next minute a nifty piece of Sombrero Soul.

Tomangoes Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Fortune teller and Im standing, dont they have the old casta doo daas? Actually after watching the movie 'From Dusk til Dawn', I wont be going to Mechicho, for a while!!!! Its amazing that the Los Angeles 'Low Rider' scene love the flip sides (slow) to our 'Dancer' records, for example the Heartbreakers - Ive got to face it - Derby City. Admirations another example.
