Posted February 17, 200619 yr Always good to here a soulful version of a MOR classic. Whats your favourite? Attached is a version of Jealous Guy. Sounds not that great as its a live recording.

In the spirit of the thread I'd have to say Isaac Hayes "By the time I get to Phoenix" - awesome.. Glen Campbell's claim to soul fame was playing guitar on Gloria Jones "Tainted Love"
February 17, 200619 yr By the time I get to Phoenix (she'll be rising) by The Magnificent Men Brilliant! Then again so is Glenn Campbell's. Both points agreed!
February 17, 200619 yr In the spirit of the thread I'd have to say Isaac Hayes "By the time I get to Phoenix" - awesome.. Glen Campbell's claim to soul fame was playing guitar on Gloria Jones "Tainted Love" I imagine Glen Campbell may have played on a lot more soul stuff than we'll ever know. If memory serves, wasn't he one of the most in demand sesion guitarists on the West Coast? He certainly played on loads of Phil Spector stuff and also toured and played with the Beach Boys (Good Vibrations was one of his sessions, ditto Pet Sounds). Personally I love what he did with those Jim Webb songs. A big, big talent.
February 17, 200619 yr Call Me......everybody's version.....Eddie Bishop/ Astrud Gilberto/ Nancy Wilson/ Frank Wilson/ Sergio Mendes........
February 17, 200619 yr Billy Stewart's "Secret Love" - that's a Doris Day song isn't it? Billy Stewart's version of Summertime is brilliant too. He did an album of standards which is worth getting.
February 17, 200619 yr Marvin Gaye's version of Sunny is very good. And here is a sound file of Andy Williams "More Today Than Yesterday" taken from the album In The Longe With Andy Williams.... Almost Good Enough To Play Out Jon Buck21 More Today Than Yesterday.mp3
February 17, 200619 yr Billy Stewart's version of Summertime is brilliant too. He did an album of standards which is worth getting. ANY version of summertime - a fabulous song!

February 20, 200619 yr I like Bobby Lee Fears version of Pat Boone's 'exodus', Della Reese version of 'It was a very good year', Micky Denton 'nature boy', Carl Henry Hall 'Summertime', Grady Tate 'Moondance' & Caprells version of 'close your eyes' & ted taylor's slower version too. & of course Nina Simoner could sing more or less anything & make it soulful IMO.
