May 27, 200619 yr Gawd, what a question! For me, Gene has always been up there with Willie Tee as the guy with the slickest repertoire ever to grace our dancefloors. But.. it's got to be......... the immortal.... Nothing Can Stop Me Though I adore pretty much everything by him (even the later 20th Century material). N. Soul wise....... I Can Take Care........After the Laughter..... I Won't Need You....... all irresistible Off the dancefloor.... got to be 'To Be A Lover' 'I Fooled You This Time' and 'To Choose' for me. Just love him. Sean Hampsey
May 27, 200619 yr Top tune. What about "I Hate To Be The One To Say"...superb! Can't find the soundclip, but here's "After Laughter" anyways........ -MikeGene_Chandler_After_The_Laughter.mp3 Edited May 27, 200619 yr by recordwanted
May 27, 200619 yr Noticeable that everyone is mentioning his Checker recordings - got to admit that I have these cuts on 45 and they are great mid tempo soul. Know that he cut at least one LP during this time. Anyone have a copy and is there anything of note which didnt find release as a 45 ? Take care John Top tune. What about "I Hate To Be The One To Say"...superb! Can't find the soundclip, but here's "After Laughter" anyways........ -Mike
May 27, 200619 yr So many great Gene Chandler tracks..my favourites You cant hurt me no more...If you cant be true (find a part time love) both on Constellation.
May 27, 200619 yr I can't decide... I was raised on Gene (Major and the Impressions) and its really hard to pick just one. I think its probably between You Threw A Lucky Punch, There Was A Time, Nothing Can Stop Me and Think Nothing About It. I was fortunate enough to see Gene at Yarmouth weekender when I was 19. The poor man had a deranged girl throw herself at him on the Friday night... then when he performed the next night, he came out with his cloak and walking stick... Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl... ooh I'm all tingly just thinking about it
May 27, 200619 yr I'd actually go for the one on the other thread meself 'Without you here' on Curtom. Desert Island disc for me. Although as we all know, there a guzzilion others of his that are just fantastic! Cheers Steve
May 27, 200619 yr For me it has to be the superb Good Times. Combines the voice of Gene Chandler and the writing genius of Curtis Mayfield. Sublime summer soul. Edited May 27, 200619 yr by Matt Male

Cheers Steve To be honest mate when I first heard this at Yarmuff when ever it was I was floor'd and like you it still does it to me every time I hear.

May 27, 200619 yr The one about the guy who had obstained from sex for 5 years "Mr BIG SHOT.".... thats my fave or..Does she have a freind/let me make love to you
May 27, 200619 yr "Bet You Never Thought", but for the atmoshere & memories it's got to be "Mr Big Shot". Has anyone got a decent mp3 of Mr Big Shot? Paul
May 27, 200619 yr It's got to be Mr Bigshot, Wigan 1973, I'm back there every time I play it, on the dancefloor next to Booper, getting sprayed with his sweat every time he spins! The most atmospheric record ever, IMO Then "Bet you never thought", the Brunswick recording, not Constellation. Sheer Magic.
May 27, 200619 yr My sister had the "There Was A Time" album in '72/73 before I had hit the allnighter scene. I remember flicking through the tracks and "Bet You Never Thought" really did something for me. At the time I thought it was just not "Northern" enough. It is actually so laid back it is horizontal. Love It. 07___Bet_You_never_thought.mp3 Paul (Still want a Mr Big Shot mp3) Edited May 27, 200619 yr by Paul r
