Guest Ivor Jones Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Thats really sad Paul..................Clay made some real gems. Sadly,almost unknown except to "real" soul music fans........... .I really love these by him : You Have Messed Up My Mind Do Right Woman You Wont Have To Suffer No More You Must Be Making Love Come Into These Arms Of Love I Know What Love Is............... And plenty more................ Clay Hammond, RIP Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Dave Turner Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Sad new indeed. One of the all time soul and soul/gospel greats. Truely a fabulous artist and southern soul giant. Edited February 6, 2011 by Dave Turner Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest FrostyJak Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Sad to hear of his passing I've only heard of his stuff released on kent cds My jealous girl, The good side of my girl & I'm gonna be sweeter are my favs RIP Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Prophonics 2029 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 One of my top tunes of his. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Garethx Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Very sad news. So many great performances from an exceptional singer, but my favourite of them all was "I'll Make It Up To You" on Kent. Timeless soul music of the very highest quality. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Anoraks Corner Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Much admired over here. Agree with Tony...this is also my fave NS track from this Soul Hero. RIP Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Anais nin Carms Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I shall have to play "You brought it on yourself" later as a tribute to a great voice , not one for the dancefloor I guess but what a sound ! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest no1guy Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Very sad news indeed, saw him in Utrecht 'estafette' a few years ago he was fantastic. Apart from his recordings for Kent etc in the 60's his later recordings for Leon Haywood's EVEJIM label in the late 80's are worth listening to, License to steal and Streets will love you to death are stand out tracks.

Sean Hampsey Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Sad news Paul. Always loved the Versepto 45 'Part Time Love' and his rare and fabulous Mercury 45 'You Don't Have To Suffer Anymore'. What an amazing Soul singer. RIP Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 So many incredible tracks by this supremely talented man, and I have so many favourites - most of which have been mentioned above... ...but this one just about tops them all: ...A true great both as a singer and songwriter. Go rest high on that mountain Mr. H. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Different take on Haarlem Shuffle BUT still good choon Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ady Croasdell Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 That's sad. He had a very tender voice which shows up particularly well on the previously unreleased Kent tracks we featured on the CD he shared with Z Z Hill Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soulfreak Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Yes, really sorry to hear this. I caught that Utrecht concert too. It was great to hear him still able to hit all the high notes. I interviewed him at the time and kept in touch over the years. Lovely guy.... Martin. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Jim Elliott Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 'I'm gonna be sweeter' is a top ten sound for me, it's just got the lot, a close second is the Evejim album, thanks for the music RIP Jim. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
