Can anyone tell me the history behind the tune Teardrops..Soul Inc..who found it..when.how many copies.who apart from Carl Willingham plays it etc..cheers..

Its one of the greatest tunes i have heard in a long time..

This was played years ago at the Drolsden All-Nighters in Manchester by a guy named Chris Churm.

Can't remember what it was covered as (artist wise)

Maybe someone out there can remember

Not much info' I know , but it's a start

the only "teardrops" i remember being played at droylesden was little natalie and henry with the gifts (what a dodgy name !) or am i thinking of a different song completely !!!

Tabitha,

That sounds like "Teardrops Are Falling" by Little Natalie & Henry (who also recorded as Young Henry Ford & The Gifts) on Roulette.

PS - love the cat pic.....cute!!!

Gene

yea thats the one im thinking of, but cant think what soul inc teardrops is and its doing my head in !!

Is it Soul Inc. on Emblem?

I thought that one was a Carl W one off???? Great record IMVFHO

John

John

It's Soul Bros. Inc. "Teardops" on Salem

Think you're right on both points, John. I've seen a scan of it recently, either in a mag (Soul Up North or Shades of Soul maybe), or on a flyer for somewhere I can't recall.

It's been comp'd in the states, apparently, if this is the same record:

Interesting to note this CD features a few fairly well-known northern records "Front Page Love", "Since You've Been Gone" etc., other tunes by artists who recorded pretty well-known northern records (Sebastian Williams, Lenis Guess, Barbara Stant), and both sides of the now notorious Dream Team. Weird. Anyone got this CD?

have to laugh as think twice hounded maria w for info on this, wasn't sure if soul bros inc or just soul inc, label etc wrote down both times and lost both times, and after gareth x post found out info was on here all the time.......
