Songs That Really Pull At Your Heart Strings . . .

Posted

I mean REALLY pull at your heart strings

 

Records that go to the very depths of your emotions. You don't just hear them through your ears but you feel them through your whole body!

 

They almost cause physical pain but then the pain becomes a pleasure all of its own.

 

Hopelessly in love . . . lost love . . . unrequited love . . . you name it . . . 

 

Two for me below. What are yours?

Always a firm favourite here, when he did this in Bilbao last year, he absolutely nailed it....

Oh yes Mike and Dave, 2 of my absolute faves (among thousands) agree with Jordi, this thread shows that there is some real depth in all things soulful on SS, this is what its about

Walter's other Brunswick outing.....

 

New to me Mike, gives the Chi-Lites a real run for their money

Got a UK release Kev - flip of 'Easy Evil'    The only one on Brunswick I knew by him for many years!!

"We've got to be strong
For a love that's so right
Can't be wrong"

 

OMG this sends me weak at the knees . . . . . .

 

Have always thought this so beautiful

 

Green Berets - (Lord) Send Me Somebody

Dee Dee Sharp I really love you,

 

Barbara West - Anyone But You
Anthony And The Imperials If I Remember To Forget

 

 

 

Audrey mae matthews I have no choice

Jimmy Elledge - Sad Town

The emotion comes from deep down in his gut when he sings them few little words "I just believe that you're gone" ........

Okay maybe there is a lot more than one, one of my finest moments as a DJ playing this at an all nighter and people, including me, dancing!

And as for Jinny Holliday search out his Man Without Love, not on YT but his finest moment in reducing grown men to a quivering pile of pulp. Tremble your way through every line with both lips wibblinglike a water wheel!

This is one that I can personally identify with, (the part about playing records)

 

i was about to post that solid solution up, amazing record, and I generally listen to it back to back with this one

 

 

Bloody hell, write out 100 lines. 'I must flip over my 45's'. That's the first time I've heard that Johnson, Hawkins Tatum track, fantastic and even better knowing now that it's on the other side of 'Your love is drawing me closer' which has been in one of my boxes for a hundred years. Doh.

Oh yes..talking of flip sides

Temptations - I wish it would rain, Since I lost my Baby, Your my everything, Don't look back plus David Ruffin - My whole world ended & of course the  Four Tops - Just ask the lonely, they always tug at the hearts strings & bring a glaze to the eyes, oh God someone give me a hug quick. :facepalm:  :( 

Spot. :shades: 

Love this. Isley's at their best. Can't beat it for emotion for me anyway! Ade

This could go on forever for me.

 

This is possibly one of the greatest, most exquisite love songs ever sung IMO. It takes me back to a shared Christmas present me and my bro David got one year when we were young, on the 'Forever Gold' LP that became a major starting point for me on a road going away from Northern soul and discovering other genres of soul. It's a tune that just chokes me up with it's beauty, and it contains the line "your a positive motivating force within my life". Can't get better than that......or can it?

 

As of a few years ago

   Almeta Latimore   These Memories

 R.I.P. Blue Max

Of all the "new to me" records on here, this is far and away the best. Great choice.

AND HERE IS THE VERSION THAT WAS A HIT WITH THE CLEETHORPES CROWD

 

BLACK SATIN FEAR FREDDIE PARIS

 

Chuck Carter, was a member of this superb group,

It's Walter again ... take your pick from 1965 Okeh or the 1976 Chi-Sound recut.

 

Me, I'm not fussed ... just a wonderful record either way. I do listen to the 1976 cut the most though

When I close my eyes and listen to this my head, body, arms & legs feel like they're melting into a puddle on the floor. :D

 

"I did you wrong

My heart went out to play

But in the game I lost you

What a price to pay

I'm crying . . . . . . "

 

And back to the man against whom all others must be judged.

 

IMHO of course . . . . . . . . .  :D :D :D :D

 

Mention of Otis, this lament from his protege cuts me up
