March 2, 200619 yr ...........its a tough old world out there. Col Getting tough in here too! Warm Though What about O'Jays - If I should Love Again Flippin eck.
March 2, 200619 yr Blota Blota by Michael James Kirkland, strange title but what a fantastic tune, brings tears to my eyes.
March 2, 200619 yr Freddie Hughes "I Just Found Out" on Janus is seriously painful. It doesn't get much better than that tune in my opinion. Absolutely love it! Have a listen below. Also, Toussaint McCall's "Nothing Takes The Place Of You" is a serious tearjerker. Â
March 3, 200619 yr Carol Anderson's 'I'll Get Off At the Next Stop' - especially the bit when she's getting off the bus, on Lonely Street. Painful brilliance.

See the big man cry, listen to the words of the little boy telling his mum that if he had a daddy his daddy would buy him the puppy. Steve
March 3, 200619 yr Come Through Me is a big favourite of mine. Incredible to think that Spring Records saw fit not to release it at the time, when some of the GG sides they did release were decidedly average (and that's being kind to a lot of them). Have you heard Phillip Mitchell's original demo of this as released by Grapevine a couple of years back, Colin? Also superb.

March 3, 200619 yr What Have I Done (to Make You Mad) - Linda Jones (Loma) Mirror Mirror on the Wall - The Saints (Revue) and strangely enough, John Edward's unreleased version of Danny Boy on the Kent CD.

March 3, 200619 yr Nice to see a thread that leans towards the 'deeper side' of things Painful Soul.... James Carr - These Aint Raindrops Bobby McClure - To Get What You Got Lee Jones - This Heart Is Haunted Vivilore Jordan - Maybe Betty Lavette - Let Me Down Easy Tyrone Davis - I Keep Coming Back To name only a few! Sean Hampsey Hmm does it have to be deep to hurt, but agree Sean, great choice. Know its been mentioned before by Mr Jack of Brighton but in this vain the favorite by a mile must be Kim Tolliver _ Where Were You full 12" version, that hurts due to sheer soulfulness but also the subject matter just fits and it makes her sadness a physical living thing for the duration of this record! 2 listening to lots at moment are Mike Jemison - You Make Me Feel The Way You Do (?) 12" and Garfield Fleming - Lets Turn In Early, have chased these since mid 80's and only recent got them, in all honesty they are not as good as I remembered (are they ever), certainly not the holy grail of slowies as I had made them in my own mind but still 2 very fine honest to goodness examples of proper soul music. Interesting aside No 1 - just realised pretty sure I have Barret Strong doing the Mike Jemison number, just cant remember where or what medium I have it!! Interesting Aside No 2 - having been chasing the Mike Jemison no and a couple of knoweldgeable guys on RSF confirming its a hard one, got it on ebay for a fiver and the same seller listed (and relisted twice more) with no takers, incredible. The Kim Tolliver also went through with no takers, recently. Double incredible. Cheers Jock

Have you heard Phillip Mitchell's original demo of this as released by Grapevine a couple of years back, Colin? Also superb. Hi Gareth, No. As usual you are one step ahead of me. I'd love to hear that - sound file anyone? Could have had a good thing Marshall Downing - blooming brilliant Don't know that one either! Col ps Enjoyed your set at Bisley
March 3, 200619 yr Author Thanks Miff & Sebastian for posting up sounds. Obviously, not all pain is bad for you. Edited March 3, 200619 yr by Soulsmith
March 3, 200619 yr I think the Barrett Strong version of Mike Jemison is on the Love Is You album on Coup (I'll check when I get home...) The MJ 12" is really hard to get, I too was looking since the 80s. Agree with you on the Kim Tolliver 12" too, Jock; a record I've mentioned on here lots (usually in topics relating to coloured vinyl, strangely) Great as that is, I must state that I consider Kim Tolliver's version of Gwen McCrae's I'm Losing The Feeling on the Chess lp to be her defining moment on tape. A simply amazing performance that I readily put up there as one of the best three soul records I've ever heard. It's strong stuff.

The MJ 12" is really hard to get, I too was looking since the 80s. Spot on Gareth, well its on the flip side of the Love Is You 45 (just played that for first time in years thanks to this, still sounds great happy music to me!) so assume its on the album too. If you are still after the MJ let me know as don't think the other one sold amazingly and it was dirt cheap!

A simply amazing performance that I readily put up there as one of the best three soul records I've ever heard. It's strong stuff. Mines is on plain black but the one on e-bay recently was coloured vinyl funny enough. Thanks for the tip on Chess LP, have actually passed on that a couple of times as the normally reliable Jim O'Hara had said it wasn't great, add that to my latest ebay search, sods law it will come up when I can't afford it, if it comes up that is!! Cheers Jock

March 4, 200619 yr thisd tends to hurt a bit talk about pain in my heart, pain in the arse more like ****ing sound file thing not working again
March 4, 200619 yr Oh, and - I'm Telling You I'm Not Leaving - Jennifer Holiday Hmmm. Being a lover of show tunes and co-incidently staying in Boy's Town LA at the moment (I'm here for the Oscars; not!), I think this is fantastic. Jim Carrey once did a "live" version of it on the Larry Sanders show, it was an absolutely incredible moment of television in loads of ways. On the same tack 'Seasons Of Love' from "Rent" brings out the hankies, the cast version not the Stevie Wonder version which is OK too.
March 4, 200619 yr Harry Starr - Step Into My World - End, does me everytime. Jimmy Gilford - Heart Breaker - Solid Hit, as above but more so. Mark Bicknell.
March 5, 200619 yr Maxine Brown - Put Yourself In My Place. In fact almost anything by Maxine. Absolute magic.
March 5, 200619 yr Linda Jones - I've Given You The Best Years Of My Life (Turbo) - quite probably the saddest song ever written, sung by quite definitely the most emotional vocalist ever to record. I get tearful even thinking about it... TONE
March 5, 200619 yr The Marvelettes.........Don't make hurting me a habit......Tamla The Traits........Some day some way..........Contact Edited March 5, 200619 yr by asboannie
March 5, 200619 yr being 'hurt' to soul music is what its all about, but hurt should really be 'moved' to whatever state, loads of stuff makes me cry sometimes billy eckstine-fantasy-motown l.p because it was my grandmothers fav of one of my dads plays,40 years ago, god rest both

Whats currently hurting you? Col. i've got some work to do at home today and currently having a coffee break - I stuck Jimmy Conwell's 'Let it all out' LP on (and immediately thought of this thread). Jim tugs at the old heart throughout - but the title track does me evertime "so I wanna you, to let it all out, let it all out, here is my shoulder, to cry on......" It has me in bits everytime
March 5, 200619 yr Otis Clay "You hurt me for the last time" Byrdie Green " Don't make it hurt" Na Allen "Everytime it rains" George Benson "My woman's good to me" There's a lot of hurt going on here All the best Manus
March 5, 200619 yr Black and Blue - Of all the hearts to break. That was my heartbreak and misery tune. (And I'll also doff my cap towards Jennifer Holiday - I'm telling you I'm not going as well) Don't get off on the miserable stuff these days - I am nauseatingly happy Johns pick is Cry to Me - Loleatta Holloway.
