Guest Matt Male Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Not sure if it counts as a ballad, but i'd say Barbara Lynn - This Is The Thanks I Get is one of my all time favourites.

Jellybean Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Always found this one a bit of a killer ELLA WOODS-I NEED YOUR LOVE-MERGINGOh yes Joan! Also Billy Stewart - I do love you
Harrogatesoul Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Could go on for years this... Are we talking straight ballads or 'beat ballads' ?? Chuck Jackson & Tommy Hunt - Two of my all time favourite balladeers. Chucks 'I Need You' hits me everytime. Big Maybelle - 'Oh Lord What Are You Doing To Me' .... Oh...my...god... Rich
Harrogatesoul Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 she is my lady/donny hathaway,my favorite at the moment,me thinks it could be yours Ah yes Donny too. What a man. Personal fave by him. ' I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know' . . . Just an amazing song. I urge everyone to listen and buy a copy!!! A favourite in the record room late at night - last glass of red in hand... Rich
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 could write a page on these ,but one outstanding personal fave is "jerry fuller" turn to me..on challenge (other side of double life) Funnily enough this is my favourite record of the moment - although I'd classify it more as a beat ballad than a 'regular' one. To my eternal shame I have owned a copy of "Double Life" for more than 30 years, and I only thought to turn it over recently while researching repertoire for the Jerry Fuller CD that I've just done for Ace. I can't believe that I'd been depriving myself of its brilliance for nearly four decades... Also love Jerry's other beat ballads "I Get Carried Away" and "Whatever Happened To The Music", both of which I have known longer than a fortnight, of course....
Rhino Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Whether its on the way home from work or a niter...what kind of sophisticated soul track do you listen to for relaxation purposes I'll start the ball rolling with this little beauty Maxine Brown - Bella Mia Any more for any more? bobbie smith- walk on into my heart top tune does it for me every time
Suzannek Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Big Maybelle - 'Oh Lord What Are You Doing To Me' .... Oh...my...god... Rich I love this one too. It has the power to reduce me to tears. I love Perfect Boy by Dottie Cambridge the b'side of Cry Your Eyes Out also amongst many others! Suz x 1
Kev Connellan Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Roy Hamilton - Heartache (hurry on by) good choice (other side is great too) my choices: tommy hunt - didn't i tell you tran-sisters - pull the covers right up
scunnyjack Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Bobby Womack - Harry Hippie- Always been my favourite slow record Others include: ZZ Hill - This Time They Told The Truth Millie Jackson - I Just Can't Stand It Teddy Pendergrass - The Whole Town's Laughing At Me Four Tops- Ask The Lonely
Harrogatesoul Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 I love this one too. It has the power to reduce me to tears. I love Perfect Boy by Dottie Cambridge the b'side of Cry Your Eyes Out also amongst many others! Suz x I think you hit the nail on the head there Suz - A great ballad does just exactly that! If I was with my collection now I'd feel an evening of maudlin soul ... Hey is that a new genre?? Rich
