Guest mrs norman maine Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Is it true that when she recorded this, the sound engineer had just dumped her and by the time she finished singing, everyone in the studio was in tears-apart from the b*st*rd sound engineer? can somebody (Sean Hampsey, Tony Rounce, are you there???) please answer this query & end my uncertainty....I would be most grateful Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 can somebody (Sean Hampsey, Tony Rounce, are you there???) please answer this query & end my uncertainty....I would be most grateful I'm afraid it's pure urban myth, hon' - as confirmed to me by Bettye herself some years ago. There was also the rumour that the songwriter 'Wreich Holloway' had committed suicide shortly after writing it, but that's not true either. "Wreich", BTW, is the real name of Dee Dee Ford - who died from a brain tumour, some years after writing LMDE - of Don Gardner and Dee Dee Ford fame (DG produced the track, of course...)

It makes me think of a slender young slip of a thing waving her hanky about-I can hear the laughter echoing through the nation as I type. thanks anyway Tone Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Kevin J Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I loved this topic. I have a fondness for the girlies!!! How about Viki Adams on STOP. A nice little uptempo dancer and a cheapie. https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/sounds/exists...le=I_M_DROWNING Or Carol Faye on HIT (great vocs ... sadly the production slips around the middle of the tune). https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/sounds/exists...AYE&title=LIVES Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 One of the pleasures of Soul has to be the female sigers. Here is my nomination for one of the very finest: Doris Allen 'A Shell of A Woman'. Should have added Gladys Knight to my previous list, having heard her singing live on Saturday she must surely be rated as one of the BEST female soul singers ever, don't miss the opportunity to see her in the UK, the voice is amazing, what a legend Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest soul_hull Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 anyone heard aretha singing 'tracks of my tears'. on a b side of sumthin, think i've got a copy somewhere. that's a great song by a great female songstress. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
matty s Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hi I've always liked Big Maybelle; 96 TEARS https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Big_Maybelle_-_96_Tears.ram BLACK IS BLACK https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Big_Maybell...s_Black.ram She even takes a well known record and stamps her style on it, or else......... ( BRILLIANT ). I just want to listen, because she puts her raw, gutsy vocals down - One Awesome Lady She can do no wrong I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Big_Maybell...t_No_Longer.ram QUITTIN' TIME https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Big_Maybell...n'_Time.ram YESTERDAY'S KISSES https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Big_Maybell...days_Kisses.ram DOING TO ME https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Big_Maybell...Doing_To_Me.ram LET ME GO https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Big_Maybelle_-_Let_Me_Go.ram BAD TROUBLE https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Big_Maybell...Bad_Trouble.ram I've got 96 Tears on a DEMO and I Just can't Wait Any Longer / Quittin' Time on an issue STILL collecting as we speak. And Betty Lavette - Let Me Down Easy - GOOD CALL, another natural talent Link it to a Commercial, or film and it would chart, no problem, in my opinion. I have recently seen her perform this on a Northern DVD. - AN INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE from one Incredible Lady I could just imagine her on TOTP Signing off, for the #th WEEK At Number One - BRILLIANT LET ME DOWN EASY https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Betty_Lavet...e_Down_Easy.ram AND not forgetting; I'M HOLDING ON https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Betty_Lavet..._Holding_On.ram got to agree with you on them two. big maybelles o lord what are you doing to me makes the hair on my back stand up when i hear it truly great .

Guest Bearsy Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Yeah good shout. Think this was in the 'Look at your box' forgotten oldie thread the other day. You can tell me why she (quite clearly) sings "such a tit-head" right at the end of the song? LOL "such a tit-head" does sound like good lyrics to me but i will have to be "so contented" that my copy must be different to yours, good shout though Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Stillsoulin Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 anyone heard aretha singing 'tracks of my tears'. Talkin of tracks of my tears, a few years back i caught Edwin Starr doing a Motown tribute night with Martha Reeves and Freda Payne, at Birmingham, towards the end of Edwins set he did a deathly slow version unacompanied by the band which was just unbelievable, the raw emotion and feeling he put into it left me breathless and almost im tears, that fella could really sing. rob h.
