July 14, 200618 yr didn't sound so bad, but it was just 'straight up' vocal house to me. listened to both vocal mixes, preferred the milder original mix - and i think it would cetainly go down better than the harder mix, with soul audiences. housey housey pump up the bittah
July 14, 200618 yr https://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/225727...t=ron%20carroll Huge! Cheers, Mark R Good call Mr Randle Think 2006 has been a great year so far for uptempo stuff. Big Brooklyn Red, 280 West (Never Knew), Little Big Band, John Banfield, Luther (Shine) etc. Can see it going down as a classic year Mart...
July 14, 200618 yr i quite liked that , but , as someone who know sod all about modern stuff .... what makes it any different to the hundreds of other that sound the same ?

July 14, 200618 yr All depends if the person is into the Modern stuff thats the very kind of person i was asking , obviously not yourself judging by the answer

July 14, 200618 yr Sounds like somethging Stock, Aitkin and Waterman might have done! Doesn't do it for me Mark. Sorry. Same here mate, nothing out of the ordinary i'm afraid Lenny
July 14, 200618 yr Sorry, could be anyone, sounds like a million other things that could be anyone One of those "you had to be there" moments I'm afraid
July 14, 200618 yr i quite liked that , but , as someone who know sod all about modern stuff .... what makes it any different to the hundreds of other that sound the same ? Er, maybe you could just make yer own mind up? No offence intended
July 14, 200618 yr Er, maybe you could just make yer own mind up? No offence intended there couldn't be any offence cos you never made a point ..... i said at the start i quite liked it , there that was my mind made up . now i want to know from a modern point of view what makes it a great tune on the modern scene , whats the problem with that?
July 14, 200618 yr very soulful sound but the same backing music as a hell of a lot of other tunes but i still think its ok
July 14, 200618 yr there couldn't be any offence cos you never made a point ..... i said at the start i quite liked it , there that was my mind made up . now i want to know from a modern point of view what makes it a great tune on the modern scene , whats the problem with that? No problem at all with that, sorry mate I must 'ave missed the point :search:

I think Mark probably knows Soul Sam no doubt bought it at the recent Summer Ball and will end up playing it in a northern soul room!! Decent track from a top flight vocalist but overall a tad formulaic to my ears - that sound is in danger of becoming the new 'Driza-bouncy-castle' if it's not careful. Davie, I'm the same to 60s r&b what you are to modern, I wouldn't have the first idea what differentiates a good r&b record from a not so good one. How would you explain if if somebody asked you that? Roger
July 14, 200618 yr I like it. Sounds as good as (or better than) most of the recent product that I've come across (If more 'Modern' stuff was as good or distinctive and as evidently 'Soulful' as this I'd probably buy more of it). I think you're right, in that it sounds like it could be Huge for the dancefloor. Not at all bad on the eardrums either (although late Friday nights I normally go for a more mellow mood). Thanks a lot for the post. Sean Hampsey
July 14, 200618 yr Well here's one Real Soul DJ that will be getting hold of it! And I bet a few others will too.. (but they probably wont be playing it out until 2015)
July 15, 200618 yr Davie, I'm the same to 60s r&b what you are to modern, I wouldn't have the first idea what differentiates a good r&b record from a not so good one. How would you explain if if somebody asked you that? Roger i would have to look at the particular record in question and then give an opinion on why it was being described as HUGE , but i would have an answer in my opinion what made it great
July 15, 200618 yr Certainly not for the northern room!!!!!!!......... but would go down well in the Garage/Soulfull house room....It`s got the required elements to jump about to.
July 15, 200618 yr Doesn't do much for me I'm afraid. Like Davie, I would like to know what differentiates this from dozens of other similar tracks. Is it just that the artist isn't "mainstream"? I just played it to my son, who is involved in funk/house/hip-hop etc events, and when he'd stopped laughing he described it as "cheese for towny clubs" and was astonished that it might get played on our scene.
July 17, 200618 yr Sounds like somethging Stock, Aitkin and Waterman might have done! You took the words right out of my mouth. Except I was going to add Rick Astley.
July 17, 200618 yr Ron Carroll is the man, not done a bad record and this is another quality tune. Though for me the new Ann Nesby "So Much Joy" would have more crossover appeal onto the northern side as it's got a very similar backing to "Tribute to Betty" https://www.juno.co.uk/products/222300-01.h...highlight=nesby Cheers Gareth
July 17, 200618 yr Author Ron Carroll is the man, not done a bad record and this is another quality tune.

As far as the Ann Nesby cut goes, see my Cleethorpes weekender playlists here: https://www.soul-source.co.uk/index.p...29791&st=50 And to add even more interest, for those that don't know, Ann Nesby was the lead voice on those early Sounds Of Blackness tracks which are the subject of much interest elsewhere on the forum. Cheers, Mark R
July 17, 200618 yr Ron Carroll is the man, not done a bad record and this is another quality tune. Though for me the new Ann Nesby "So Much Joy" would have more crossover appeal onto the northern side as it's got a very similar backing to "Tribute to Betty" The Ann Nesby Track is better than the Ron Carroll track, which was a bit bland-neither of them come up to the level of Ron Hall and the Motherfunkers-'the way you love me' https://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProduct...&sku=511667 ....unfortunately no vocals, on the sample, but that's IT in stoopid handz fer yer!
July 17, 200618 yr Oh Pete, that was so much more creative than your usual 'I haven't heard it but... " Like some others, find a lot of these tracks quite 'samey'... quite like the Ann Nesby, but then think her voice is great anyway, love 'In The Spirit'.
July 17, 200618 yr could be ok with a real band or a producer without that generic dance beat on his casio imo. nice voice as you always get with a lot of this kind of stuff. i hope no one tells soul sam about this one. i dont want to hear it at the progressive 60s/70s nighters i go to cheers for posting it tho mark. it is a soul forum afterall and i think this one sneaks in (just ) Shane
July 17, 200618 yr i hope no one tells soul sam about this one. i dont want to hear it at the progressive 60s/70s nighters i go to Shane didn't realise you still went to all-nighters Shane and when you did you whinged about the 70's Edited July 17, 200618 yr by chalky
July 17, 200618 yr didn't realise you still went to all-nighters Shane i will be now sheridans is opening again. better than that place half hour down the road from me. good to see the return of the only real underground venue in the north imo. anyway i will be at the shooting high nighter in london on saturday back on topic.... anyone else rate the tune mark kindly put up for us? Edited July 17, 200618 yr by ShaneH
July 17, 200618 yr Oh Pete, that was so much more creative than your usual 'I haven't heard it but... " Yeah I've stopped using that one Rach, nobody got the irony!
July 17, 200618 yr https://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/225727...t=ron%20carroll Huge! Cheers, Mark R Sounds a little like Creative Source's brilliant 70's track "One happy song" . . . but not quite up to the mark!! Martin
July 17, 200618 yr anyone else rate the tune mark kindly put up for us? Yep, I rate it, I bought it about three weeks ago. I think Mark R has posed a good topic here, like & not like depending on which side of Soul Music your taste falls
July 19, 200618 yr https://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/225727...t=ron%20carroll Huge! Cheers, Mark R Just my luck... I made an order to Juno Records yesterday before reading this post :angry: Any more suggestions before I make a new order to buy this tune? Marco
July 19, 200618 yr Just my luck... I made an order to Juno Records yesterday before reading this post :angry: Any more suggestions before I make a new order to buy this tune? Marco Already out of stock on Juno... Found one on ebay...
July 19, 200618 yr It's not listed as soul though Genre: Funky/Vocal/Disco/Club House They don't have a "Soul" section I'm afraid, but hey if only life was so simple.
