Guest miss nancy Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Which CD is that from Nancy? Is it a cover of the Marvin Gaye song? (not that he did it first - it's a very old song I believe) Frank McComb did a good version too Hi, its Sister Act 2 but check out Ethel Waters version x Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Mrs Simsy Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Funny thing this soul music it works on such a viceral level , no particular tune for me it can be any tune , it catches me all the time today it was Bunny Sigler let the good times roll (I am going through a wheel phase ) tomorrow it will be something else . I love that song! Sam Dees-Lonely for you baby always has me welling up & not soul but Suspicious Minds-Elvis always makes me cry as it reminds me of my late grandad who could belt out a cracking version!

Guest Paul Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Certain voices can make me (almost) cry sometimes... especially Levi Stubbs, Marvin Junior and Johnny Carter of The Dells, Annette Snell, Howard Tate, Al Green, Aretha Franklin, James Carr, Gladys Knight, Tammi Terrell, Eddie Levert, Ray Charles, J Blackfoot etc. Like Manus, I've always been crazy about Cissy Houston's medley of 'He' and 'I Believe'. It goes to show there's nothing more intense than the spirit of gospel. We all need that spirit sometimes, with or without the religion. And I agree with Baz about 'The Love We Had (Stays On My Mind)' by The Dells. I can't think of a better example. But music most often makes me cry when people have died... Ronnie Dyson died in 1990 when he was signed to my Ardent label. He was only 40 and his mother had died just a week earlier. The next time I heard his voice (singing 'A Song For You' as it happens) I ended up crying and I couldn't listen to his music for quite a while. Certain songs can have the same effect. Ever since my dad died I sometimes have trouble listening to 'Moon River', especially the version by Oscar Tony Jr. It was my dad's favourite song and it's a tearjerker anyway. Bob Relf died just days after I had done a movie sync deal for 'Blowing My Mind To Pieces'. When the film was released a year later they dedicated the soundtrack to Bob's memory and when I first heard the song on the big screen you can guess what happened. But the last time music really made me cry was when Levi Stubbs died. I didn't know him but that didn't make any difference. I went silent for a while and tried not to cry but as soon as I heard his voice again I just lost it and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I bet a lot of people did. It all goes to show how powerful music really is. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

This is the kind of topic i like on this forum, something that touches the heart and brings people together, rather than bull shit that breaks us apart.. I have always been a soul man at heart and love to be stopped dead in my tracks by a tune, just stop and feel that moment... Been looking for this track on refo, no luck... Found it on youtube.... Just stop and listen.... at 1.32 the angels come in and there is a short flute burst... Then it just builds and the voice takes on magic proportions... soul indeed.. I could go on for the rest of my life on this topic alone.... Soul strikes me so deep, it rocks my world....

Guest sandi Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Loads and loads of em make me cry, but just to mention a few. Louis Dyer "I wanna make love to you"......the very 1st time l heard this it left a lump in my throat, I brought the record and by the time l'd played it a couple of times l was reduced to tears.......blubbering wreck probably best describes it. David Ruffin "walk away from love"......great classic. Both of these records move me , l think it's because they are sung with such passion and feeling, as so are many many others.You can really feel their emotion, now thats what l call soulful.

Greety Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 As usual, I'm late joining a thread. At the risk of coming across as a great big tart, (soft Southern Jessie) to all our friends north of Watford, I'll bet I'm not the only person who fills up just listening to any great record, Northern, deep whatever, when I'm driving on my own. The reason being, one day I'm not going to be able to hear this music of ours anymore, see the great friends I've made. That makes me cry!! Let's all enjoy every moment while we can. Right!
