Hi there,

wondered which songs touch people so much that the tears well up, or you get that tingle up and down the spine. Or songs that relate to certain times in their lives/ or relationships..............i'm sure everyone has them????

for me Gabrielles song Out of Reach starts me off....if it comes on the radio i have to either switch off or walk out of the room. Reminds me of a relationship that went sour 6 years ago. The woman concerned left me and i haven't seen her since...............

Northern-wise for me as follows..........

The Temps Just my Imagation.

The O lord hear my prayer, Bit just floors me every time even after all this time. Grts a bit embersing when it comes on the radio

... the Christmas carol "Silent Night", sung by anyone at all, and also "Lullaby Of Broadway" from the movie "Gold Diggers Of 1933" (or maybe '32 - anyway, it's sung by Winifred Shaw and I always well up when the tap dancing bit comes in halfway through. These two songs easily reduce me to a blubbering heap, and I have had to flee crowded rooms before now at Christmastime when "S. Night" is sung on any TV programme, just to keep my emotions in check...

I'm not making this up - I've been this way for years about both things. Why they turn on my waterworks in this way and - much as I adore it - "The Dark End Of the Street" doesn't is something that shall, I guess, forever remain a secret between me and my tear ducts...

...I guess I'm just a sentimental old Hector, really.

TONE

Any ballad from the Detroit Spinners on their Atlantic LP's....is'nt that right Fraser

Lenny

Stevie Wonder's version of I Hear a Symphony. I get goosebumps every time I play it. The first time I played it I thought "here we go with an inferior version of The Supremes and the Isleys"....

Bloody hell!! I actually had to wipe tears from my eyes as I listened to it. Funny thing is my wife, who when I asked her to listen to it with the head phones, said exactly what I'd been thinking, and she loved it as much as I did!

My niece, who wouldn't know a soul record from a dirty nappy, actually used this for the bride and grooms first dance after hearing it just once at our house.

On the northern side it has to be Love Love Love by Bobby Hebb. Sheer perfection.

Listen closely to the words on Diana and the Supremes"Living in Shame" Doug

Just another that's get's me going.

Only the opera. And only sopranos at that. Love soul, but it doesn't make me cry.

For me it's Jimmy Bo Horne - If you want my love. Always reminds me of Morcambe pier around 1983 (i think) and an intense and emotional relationship i was having at the time, not helped by large quantities of paranoia inducing amphetamine

Takes me back every time i hear it.

M.

I did actually blubber whilst singing along to George Jacksons 'I don't have the time to love you' in a bar during one of my Falkland stints - lyrics were too poignant when your along way from home.

Also shed quite a few tears at the first Cleethorpes weekender, whilst dancing and singing away to Ruby Winters 'Better'. Them lyrics always crack me up

Bessie Banks - The best is yet to come

Babs McNair - You're gonna love my baby

Temps - Aint too proud to beg !!

Pass the tissues.. sniff sniff

Think I must be a hard faced bitch, as i can't think of a single track that's made me cry

Even when I was going through my "mental health statistic" phase, it wasn't tunes, even really sad ones, that made me cry.

Don't get me wrong, I'm quite adept at blubbing, but mostly soul tunes make me smile

'Since I Lost My Baby'....The Temptations....the line "but after i've been crying all night, the sun is cold and the new day seems old'....

Been there, done that.

my 1st nearly brings a tear JUST LOVIN YOU/RUBY ANDREWS(was me & my xs song for 15 years.she was upset when she came back to me 1 of many times,to find out i had sold it).

ITS JUST A RECORD !!!

my 2nd did make me cry tho CHAOS / VIVIAN COPELAND(been after it for so long,managed to get a copy at cleethorpes 2 year ago.didnt play it till the tue,was just so happy it was on my turntable.that was after i played it & it wasnt the right song.the bloody labels were reversed)

ITS JUST A RECORD !!!

VIRGIL HENRY...I CANT BELIEVE YOURE REALLY LEAVING ME

It brought a tear to my eye when I realised I had wasted 99p on a copy of "Do I Love You" by Frank Wilson!

What a sad day.

Paul Mooney

Edited April 20, 200619 yr by Mandy

wondered which songs touch people so much that the tears well up, or you get that tingle up and down the spine.

Jean Wells "What Have I Got To Lose"

Bobby McClure "To Get What You Got"

Debbie Taylor "Touching You"

Terry Collins "The Show Must Go On"

Carl Weathers "You Ought To Be With Me"

Sandra Wright "I'm Not Strong Enough"

Levert "I'm Still"

Controllers "We Dont"

Zingara "Loves Calling"

Dells "I Touched A Dream"

Peggy Scott "I Cant Say No"

Jaibi "You Got Me"

All to die for.

Sean Hampsey

Carl Weathers "You Ought To Be With Me"

Another Hampsey recommendation. Quality quality quality.

And to think Sean, its all down to a Controllers album

Steve

Sean , You are going to love Tony Troutman - I Really Love You. This song is just Too Deep To Weep and then some! Right Up Your Street! I have done the CD. Will be in the post tommorrow!

Which after looking at Sean's list, reminded me of a few more

"How Could You Run Away" - Louise Freeman

"Let Me Love You" - Ralph Graham

"Georgia Blue" - Joe Simon

"I Can Read Between The Lines" - Johnny Taylor

"It's Me" - Willie Johnson

The list is endless ain't it.

If Carlsberg did Soul Music, it would not be this good!

Edited April 20, 200619 yr by SteveM

A few more to add to the growing list!

Ruben Bell - Asking for the truth but praying for a lie. Heartbreaking lyrics, incredible singing - sends shivers down spine, tears, the lot.

Joe Simon - I found my Dad. Really unusual lyrics - story about how he finds his Dad as a down and out in the park. 'Life is so hard and there ain't no one to blame'.

Jaibi - You got me

Sam Dees - The show must go on

Cheers

Mark

Forgive me Folks I think my answer should have been Barbara Mc Nair?? Not ronnie

Doug Is that right???

Mand :O))) Daft tart

Yeah Mand thats right.

For me it has to be Ray Pollards The drifter.... every chuffing time it gets me.

Non Soul related has to be Samual Barbers Adigio for Strings... has me sobbing like a baby

Only Sam Cooke - Nothing Can Change This Love, other one i would say is not soul and nothing what so ever to do with it He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother.

Lorraine Ellison - Stay With Me Baby

Just thinking about it brings my mood down a couple of notches.

Anyone found the other thread we did on this? Wasn't as long a go as last year was it?

Johnny my boy - Ad Libs (eye moistener)

Yesterday when I was young - Charles Aznavour (full on griz, reminds me of me dad).

For me it has to be John and the Weirdest ' Can't get over these memories'

brings a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye, everytime

I remember this thread, but can't think who did it, or what it was called, only a few months back .

For me its the following:

Irma Thomas " anyone who knows what love is ( will understand). I first heard this on Dave godin`s " deep soul treasures" & it just blew me away.

Dorothy Moore "misty blue" never understood why this lady was never a super star of soul............ what a voice.

Willie nelson " angels flying to close to the ground" . Allways reminds me of my late father

Anything by Merle Haggard.............. see above.

" Single Tear " or " Wishing on the same star " by Judy Cheeks " Respect CD , just brilliant and so emotional ........ Best ,Eddie

Better - Ruby Winter

Surprised most of you missed this one

Ask The Lonely by the Four Tops,

was humming it today at work and thinking of that clip Dr Bob put up of Aretha singing to Levi
