Guest JJMMWGDuPree Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I've always found that songs with the word 'Angel' in the title are a good bet. Right off my head there's Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan. David Sea, Sam Dees, The Band of Oz, Darrell Banks, Jimi Hendrix, Shelby Flint, and, of course, Dusty Springfield. And speaking of Dusty, the two that always do it to me, reducing me straight to mush every time... Some of your lovin' Going back ...and there's something of a tossup between her version of 'Wasn't born to follow' and Carole King's take, although if I'm really honest, the Lemon Piper's retitling of 'I was not born to follow' probably takes it.

Guest mel brat Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) Holland/Dozier/Holland - Why can't we be lovers... One of my choices, certainly (along with all his other stuff!) I happen to love the first Tamla Motown Stephanie Mills album from 1976 (Bacharach & David), and it never, ever gets a mention, so... Other long-time faves include; Judy Clay - "You Can't Run Away From Your Heart" (STAX), Margie Alexander - "What'cha Tryin' To Do To Me" (CHI-SOUND) and Jean Carn's ultra-stunning "You Are All I Need" (PIR) Edited September 3, 2008 by mel brat Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Garethx Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Some great choices so far. I'm with those who mentioned the Margie Alexander on Chi-Sound: a record so perfect that I've often played it ten times in a row and always been left wanting more. A few from me: Bettye Swann I'm Just Living A Lie Fame Usually a contender in any 'best soul record ever made' list I try to make. The ultimate collision of great singer, great band, great song; almost miraculous. Otis Redding My Lover's Prayer Volt Don't think Otis ever made a more heartfelt, honest and open recording than this. It's sometimes easy to miss the contributions of the real giants of soul music and this is one of his I keep going back to. Arthur Conley I'm A Lonely Stranger Jotis I keep blathering on about how cruelly under-rated this guy was (particularly as a ballad singer) and I'm convinced I'm right when I put the needle on this once-in-a-lifetime record. The ultimate Stax-recorded ballad. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Reforee Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 tough one to call but one that does it for me is "Summer Comes Along " ...by the late Daryl Pediford on Kryptonite Records out of NYC. It was written by DP and he played the Saxophone solo on it. Absolutely awesome. produced by James "Booty" Neal. 4:15 minutes of indie soul heaven.

bri pinch Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) THESE FEW DO IT FOR ME IN THE BALLAD STAKES. CHARISMA BAND - BLESS THE DAY - COLUMBIA.

Guest mel brat Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) BRIEF ENCOUNTER - IN A VERY SPECIAL WAY - COLUMBIA... BRI PINCH. Brief Encounter are another really underrated group aren't they? "Human" - what a fabulous song. Aside from Deep Soul items, I do like to hear straight forward Soul ballads and mid-tempo numbers. (Barbara Mason wipes me out! - especially "Caught In The Middle" - WOW!, and "Yes I'm Ready" still never fails to bring a lump to my throat even now. So poignant.) Another fave that springs to mind is Essence - "I Ain't Much (But I'm All I Got)" (EPIC) 1976 - a lyric that could have been written just for me!

It's all just too fabulous to squabble over! *Thanks to Niall Crowley's terrific phone interview with this vastly underrated singer. Thanks for the mention. Talking of Margie Alexander, I remember driving down the fast lane of the M5 listening to Margie Alexander on my CD player and thinking 'if I crash and burn now, what better a sound track could I do it to?' Yes I'm pretty morbid at times but I had this picture in my mind: my upturned burning mangled wreck lying of the middle of the motorway, a 30 mile tail back, wheels smoking and spinning, and 'What'cha Tryin' To Do To Me' still playing on the radio. One fireman turns to his mate and says 'wow that's a nice tune. I never heard that before'. The opposite of this has happened to me far more often. I'm in somebody else's car - usually a nutter with terrible taste in music. Something truly awful is playing and we're bombing down the fast lane, swerving about and I'm thinking 'please god, I really don't want to die to this record. Can we just wait for the next track, it might be a bit better.' Hey this could make an interesting thread. Something along the lines of 'What song would you be content to die to and what would you most hate to be playing when you kick the bucket?' or maybe not. Thanks for all the great contributions anyway. Niall Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
