Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) A much (and unnecessarily) mailgned record IMO. It's a fabulous song (Bacharach and David, how could it not be) and a great example of early 'big city soul' Can't see why anyone wouldn't like it. Not even Pete!

Reg Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) I have to agree with Pete.

Not even Pete! sorry Tony,must disagree.This "tune",and i use the term loosely,is an awful example of Northern Soul.Absolutely love Bacharach,but even knowing he had a hand in it can't change my mind. . I'd rather jump from the third window,than endure this on a nite out. Looks like i'll have to be on standby on Saturday mornings in future,hovering over the radio's "off" button. Surely this record will get the send off it deserves at some stage.How you fixed Pete? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Prophonics 2029 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) Love this stuff from the late 50ts to 63 the more spooky and haunting the better. For me if it has a good beat to dance to it beats listening to The Chandlers again. Oh I have The Chandlers its one of a favourite records.

Paul R Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I hadn't heard this, but had heard of it, so I was please when old Brian announced it. Got ot agree with Pete on this one. In a Northern sense, it was IMHO absolute drivel. The track after was a totally different kettle of fish though. Billy Davis "I want You To Be My Baby" not soul, but great early Northern soul, and I preferr it to the Ellie Greenwich version. I know that may also spark a bit of debate.

Prophonics 2029 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) I think it's more for R&B Popcorn night where their are more new discoveries' than on the Northern Scene until your alternate soul DJ pounces on the tune. Funny when I play it or hear it out it fills the floor with a groan or a core from the crowed as they race to the dance floor, strange there are not more broad minded listeners voicing there opinion on this thread.

Funny when I play it or hear it out it fills the floor with a groan or a core from the crowed as they race to the dance floor, strange there are not more broad minded listeners voicing there opinion on this thread. I've noticed it used to fill the floor too, not heard it out for a while. I think there were certain tunes in the RnB rooms a few years ago that had their moment depending on which DJ was playing them. If a certain DJ played them,then the floor would fill and the price of the record flew up. Despite the fact that other's had played them for a while previously and got a negative response. Jayne.x.

Guest Bogue Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) Don't really hate it as such i suppose, & i do quite like these type of tunes.... but what i can't understand is why it became such a 'big' tune when there are so many other similar that are much better ? Lets face it you could take any of probably a dozen Ben E King tunes that could p*** all over this & are 150 x cheaper.....
