okehgaz Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Just a little light relief. Motown are a great label, no argument at all. Let's be honest though they have also put out some real beasts! My entry is: Ray Odis - randy the newspaper boy on VIP! closely followed by "small sad sam" by Bob Kayli. Two truely awful records.

When I was at school one girl was obsessed with it and kept insisting it was this LP that made her like soul...she didn't believe that THIS IS NOT SOUL!! Edited April 13, 2005 by little miss sunshine

Daved Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 I love "Tune Up" and I love Motown but there have been the occassional stinkers, such as: Stevie Wonder "I Just Called To Say I love You" Syreeta "Your Kiss Is Sweet" I really hate this song.

Guest Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 I would've said Rany the paperboy but you've already done that. Isn't there some awful track about vampires out there some where? Big O, you've got some truly awful Motown, name and shame.
Gary Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 No competition. Michael Jackson-Farewell my summer love. Gaz.
Guest Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 the worst has to be, all motown songs sang by the fat bloke in my local on karaoke night! he's shite and he also smells of porky scratchings.........he aint no marvin!!
Soulsmith Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Bob Kayli also mentioned above. Had a novolty record by him, think it was called Oh Pearl. Might be wrong though - anyone got an mp3. It was a really bad record. From what I can remember he watches her drown! I think I gave it away. Apparently its very collectable now! Col.

Guest Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Without a doubt Charlene - "I've Never Been To Me" and i have a copy if anyone wants it for a frisbee (came in a job lot) QOF XX link I wonder what Charlene (or the songwriters) meant by this...? Is there a building or a town/city anywhere in the world called ME? Or is it M.E. (Medical Examiner..) like that TV series from the seventies, Quincy M.E. ?

Guest Richard Bergman Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 God I remember when I was conned into singing Karoke to that, something I want to remember to forget!! link In what way were you conned ? Can you reach the high notes ??
Paul R Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Driving along yesterday listening to the radio and it was played, "Indiana Wants Me" R Dean Taylor. Not the worst but terrible. Paul
Guest Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 In what way were you conned ? Can you reach the high notes ?? link Long story, but basically few years back Randy said I should come and listen to his son Paul singing in the pub, didnt know I would be doing a duet!! Wouldnt be so bad if Paul wasn't so good!!
Guest Rowly Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 God I remember when I was conned into singing Karoke to that, something I want to remember to forget!! link Ok I'll remind you to forget to remember it...!
Sebastian Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 small sad sam - Bob Kayli (Tamla 54051) NICE BERRY GORDY PRODUCTION THIS! The flipside to this, "Tie Me Tight", is fantastic IMO. I'd really like to have a copy if anyone's got one they don't need. Bob Kayli's real name was Robert Gordy, Berry's brother.
Sebastian Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Anything by M Jackson link Have you heard "We're Almost There" from 1975? Fantastic tune.
pikeys dog Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Ben - Michael Jackson Awful, awful record...... WOOF!

wendy Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 anyone remember 'I Love Your Smile' I think it was by Shanice, from the late 80s or early 90s. Janet Jackson knock off tune. Pretty sure that was on Motown. hey - werent Boys 2 Men on Motown......hmmmm
Jim Elliott Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Paul Peterson ' Your loves got me burning alive'. If only.
Guest in town Mikey Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Driving along yesterday listening to the radio and it was played, "Indiana Wants Me" R Dean Taylor. Not the worst but terrible. Paul link Avoided reading this thread, because I thought it would just make me mad. I thought I could quite happily go to a niter that ONLY played some quality Motown. Then I thought of 'Indiana Wants Me', and decided to look. Wow there are a few shockers.
Mak Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 I think I've got a tune by Sammy davis Jnr on Motown buried in the garden somewere. In fact I know I have.
Paulb Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Lionel Ritchie- dancing on the ceiling He was on motown wasn't he?
Guest Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Lionel Ritchie- dancing on the ceiling He was on motown wasn't he? link Dun know,but was on somefink though
Guest Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Lionel Ritchie- dancing on the ceiling He was on motown wasn't he? link never tried dancing on the ceiling prefer a sprung wooden floor
jazzyjas Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 "The Happening" by the Supremes is unforgiveable. So is "Rhythm of the Night" by DeBarge. Was going to say Stevie 'I Just Called" and Charlene. What atrocities those are, too. You guys and gals beat me to those. "Happy Birthday" - tribute to MLK by Stevie Wonder is bad, too. Don't forget about an LP on Gordy called Kagny and the Dirty Rats. It was a black guy and a white guy dressed like new wave homos, playing this high energy synth rock music. The "Last Dragon" soundtrack has a few stinkers, too. In the 60s, I'll go with Bobby Breen on Motown, Hillsiders and Dorsey Burnette on Mel-O-Dy. "We Call It Fun" by the Headliners on V.I.P. is a bit disappointing, too. Recently I found an LP on Motown called "Gimmie Dat Ding" by the Ding Dongs from 1970. It's a photo of some hats and banjos sitting in a pile of peanuts. Had the Twistin Kings LP on Tamla years ago but can't remember if it was good. Glad somebody stuck up for Bob Kayli. "Tie Me Tight" is a really nice popcorn/northern r&b numer. KTF Jas

Guest Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 Same as Joe Frazier..Backing track`s not bad but should have stuck to boxing and taking all that punishment to the ears.(Rather like his First Round Knockout did to us-punishment to the ears)..made him tone deaf...Oh! Am I in the wrong thread? Worst motown records? Oh Well!
