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?

That'll be me then. That did absolutely zero for me, again I think it's because of when it was made, I just don't like this sort of soul music.  

 

No offence Pete, I meant soul music in general   :thumbsup:

Cant believe this has not featured yet

 

THE VILLAGE SOUL CHOIR -- TALK TO ME SOMETIMES

 

Pulls every emotional string there is,outstanding piece of soul.

Don't think this has been put up, always makes me feel kinda sad as it's a situation I've found myself in more than once 

 

Yes Dave, knew the record, somebody put it on a tape years ago. lost the track list, I didn,t know it was the Manhattans, here's another on Deluxe, this time though, the late and great George Smith on lead

One record that turn me into a jibbering wreck every time i hear it- Broken Hearted-Barbara Hall on Tusker. This record absolutely kills me.

Believe it or not there is a very good UK version of this on CBS by Midlands group Zuider Zee.

 

Pete

 

Heaven knows why that name stuck in my mind. But 2 weeks on I have just read an article in the Black Country Bugle about Midland group the Redcaps - and it mentions Zuider Zee.

 

From Albrighton it seems. It says they started as a skiffle group called Red Rebel which became the Tremors. Andy Maclachlan, the bass player of the Tremors was the boss of Domino Sound Studio at number 16, High Street, Albrighton. The Tremors morphed into Zuider Zee in 1965.

 

Quite likely you knew that stuff - but thought I would share it. Unfortunately no sign of Zuider Zee on You Tube.

Two absolutely gorgeous tracks Kev. What a great group these guys were and as far as the general soul world totally under the radar.

A couple more that get to me, Sam Cooke - A Change Is Gonna Come, so emotional,   Linda Jones - I'm Taking Back My Love ,I love everything by this lady.

 

Cheers Jim.

Sam Cooke, one of the best records of all time Jim, almost everything by Linda Jones is brilliant

 

Kev

I don't know, perhaps this may not be for most but for me an absolute killer

 

Jackie Wilson "Who Am I" from his Whispers album

No - it was Bob's 'adult' book shop on Borough road -  was one of those places that got a consignment of US imports - 000's of Verve, MGM, Capitol stuff  got a load of Bobby Bland Duke's , Little Milton's on checker, Elmore James and Tommy Yates (Tate) 'Something's Got To Give'!!

Hello Mike, let's "pop in" and buy a spare copy.

In fact, if they're still only 10p each I might buy two or three copies so I can give them out as presents to all of my friends.  In fact, I might even get four copies ...no, I think three will probably be enough.

 

:(

 

P.S.  I remember the shop well but I still can't picture exactly where it was, even though it's not far from where I live today.

Anybody ummed and rrred about buying How Big is big-Masqueraders, this should tilt it, the flip, Please take me back, while we are at it, lets stick Lee Jones in that top 100

Mike, I assumed you were referring to Pop-In or whatever it was called.

But, then again, I probably didn't hang out in adult book stores quite as often as you did.

:hypocrite:

 

P.S.  Just out of interest, is Bob's adult book store still there ???

And this beauty from another Masquerader ... Sam Hutchins
