Bigsoulman Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 On a recent thread someone had the great idea of having a soul karaoke room, what song would you like to sing, and do you think you could reach the high notes?
Dennisoul Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 (edited) Lenny I would love to murder Roy Hamiltons "Heartache Hurry On By". I could reduce a man wi a glass eye to tears wi that song.Wonderfull!!!! Edited May 19, 2005 by ANDY D
Gary Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 Anything by the Dells, probably a ballad, My Pretending Days are Over maybe?
Guest miff Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 Not strictly northern but "What becomes of the broken hearted " just love it and allways sing To it when it comes on the radio, much to the embarassment of the wife and kids.

soulAdequateNP Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 Well I actually do sing a few tunes at the karaoke nights at my local drinking emporia, including "My Girl", "Aint Too Proud To Beg" and "Long After Tonight Is All Over" - I have a recording of my rendition of My Girl somewhere, will throw it up on my webspace if/when I can find it
Simon T Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 (edited) I'd have Roy Hamilton's voice and sing the Tempests "Someday" to the love of life who just got engaged to somebody else ..boo hoo! Edited May 19, 2005 by Simon T

Mace Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Dave Evison did a night like this many years ago (I believe at The Cheshire Cheese in Nantwich) It was supposedly a great success, and was called KaraOkeh Night... He keeps mithering to try it again, but I'm staying well away from that one...

Simsy Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Mark Loyd - When I'm gonna find her Lenny O Henry - Mr Moonlight Freddie Gorman - The day will come Soul Joe Clements - Ever ever Arthur Alexander - You better move on Gene Toones - What more do you want Tempests - I cried for you Soul Bros Inc - Pyramid B J Thomas - Baby cried
Paul R Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Only ever went to one Karaoke night about 10 years ago. The tracks were obviously very US based because while looking at the listings I noticed "Nobody But Me" Human Beinz and "More Today Than Yesterday" Spiral Staircase, both US hits. Fortunately I didn't get pissed enough to try, but was tempted with the Human Beinz track. Me and my mate did do "Blue Moon" with me attempting the bass bit. It sounded good to us. Paul

Ged Parker Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Put me down for Double Cooking, Bari Track or something in that vein
Guest Soultown andy Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 If i could sing,which i cant it would be little anthonys hurt so bad,awsome tune.
mikeysoul Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 'Youre the song I've always wanted to sing', or kill in my case, by Timmy Thomas. I'm sure my cat wailing vocal could destroy that one in an ironic way. Was once tempted by The Snake on a karaoke machine, but sobered up enough in time to do a runner before my name came up
Guest Johnny One Trout Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 Put Ali down for "Do I Love You" or "The Duck"
Reg Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 I do a mean Carl Hall-especially the high bits It's like he's in the room........

I can bring my thin-nosed pliers with me! Seems to be enough interest on here alone to warrant the idea. Great fun. People willing to throw caution to the wind, lose their inhibitions and excercise their tonsils for the entertainment of others.
