Soulstu Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 It was played out last night - probably a very well known one that somehow or another i've missed.... and it's a belter. All I can give you guys is a description: Pretty uptempo, male vocal, slight RnB flavour, horns etc (maybe a touch of harmonica in it?) but very northern. Chorus tune is a bit like the 'Every night and day, I'm gonna stay' bit in Comin' Home Baby but over the top he sings, 'my baby is gone, my baby is gone'.. I think. I didn't ask the DJ for fear of being laughed out of the venue!... you live and learn. There's a virtual pint (ePint?) in it for the person who can help me out!

Steve S 60 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Sounds a lot like Mel Torme from the description. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Garethx Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Sonny Moore on Mercury Often played pitched down on the Popcorn scene. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soulstu Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) No - I was using Comin' Home baby to describe the chorus! And it's not Sonny Moore (tho I'd like to hear that out). I recorded a bit on my phone - will try and post, but it's well distorted. Edited August 31, 2014 by SoulStu Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
