Guest stevejan Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 What about that brilliant Brendetta Davis 45' on Liberty, have it somewhere but can't remember the title (meant to be Brenda Holloway isn't it ? Remember going to a local do at a working mens club some years back (88/90 ?) and the great, late Dave Godin sat on a small stage with a single record deck beside him and he played his all time top ten "deep soul" records and this was one of them, a very strange (but excellent) evening, Dave did small lectures in between each record explaning in great detail what they meant to him including the deeper implications on a social/political front ! We Interveiwed Brenda On Right Track Show last year,she said it wasn't her. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Catfish Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 For me they are: Essex IV : I just can't take it Curtis Anderson: Hardest Part Four Tops: I just can't get you out of my mind & Ray Pollard: The Drifter. I think the Dells 'Make sure you have someone to Love you' is emotionally charged, but all that melodrama about 'shuffling off this mortal coil' starts me laughing just as I'm getting really miserable!
