Posted November 2, 200420 yr Petestoneisland has launched me on a deep soul afternoon. My vote in this category has to be Doris Allen with 'Shell of A Woman". I don't have it to hand so I'm having to listen to it my head. A brilliant sound. What other Deep Soul sounds are worth a mention?
November 2, 200420 yr There are thousands of deep soul tunes that are worthy of mention IMO. Off the top of my head, here are some that I constantly go back to: Otis Clay - That's How It Is (When You're In Love) - ONE-DERFUL Winfield Parker - When I'm Alone - RU-JAC Lee Moses - Bad Girl - MUSICOR Marvin L. Sims - Danger - REVUE Truth - Come Back Home - SOUNDS OF CLEVELAND L C - Put Me Down Easy - SAR Hank & Claude Carbo - I Still Love Her - CASTLE Jimmy Holiday - I Can't Stand It - DIPLOMACY/KENT Dan Penn - I Need Some One - MGM Lonnie Mack - Why - FRATERNITY Knight Brothers - Temptation's 'Bout To Get Me - CHECKER Trumains - Girl Don't Let Me Down - VIGOR Tyrone Davis - A Woman Needs To Be Loved - DAKAR etc. etc. etc. There are sooooo many.

November 2, 200420 yr Knight Brothers - Temptation's 'Bout To Get Me - CHECKER also if you like this check JP Robinsons version on ATCO, mmmm... best Leo
November 2, 200420 yr Knight Brothers - Temptation's 'Bout To Get Me - CHECKER also if you like this check JP Robinsons version on ATCO, mmmm... best Leo link May I recommend the Knight Brothers 'Tried So Hard To Please Her' on Mercury - truly sublime.
November 2, 200420 yr More.. Jerry Butler "never gonna give you up" (Mercury) JR Mccants "help my love" (King) JJ Barnes "i got to get rid of you" (Volt) El Roy "freedom" (Star Crest) Mr Kofe "land of lost and found" (Debko) **i guess both Mr Kofe & El Roy could pass as 2step also.. best Leo
November 2, 200420 yr More: The Masqueraders Please Take Me Back (Bell) The Blue Notes This Time Will Be Different (UNI) Gas & The Funk Factory The Goodnight Song (Brunswick) The Unifics Tables Turned (Kapp) Tommy Turner I'll Be Gone (ElBam!) Skip Jackson & The Shantons Promise That You'll Wait (Dot-Mar) (far superior to the other side IMHO)
November 2, 200420 yr To each their own. I need to stay awake to do my list so I best not listen to any of that deep soul going offtopic but I get the same buzz as you do from your deep soul from the likes of... the sensations - born to love you alton ellis - my time the uniques - love and devotion austin faithful - I am losing you pat kelly - what am I to do the heptones - only sixteen ken boothe - i don't want to see you cry thats where I get my deep soul from - the soulful sounds of rocksteady .. with bells on!
November 2, 200420 yr thats where I get my deep soul from - the soulful sounds of rocksteady I get some of my deep soul from there as well. As you wrote, to each their own etc.
November 2, 200420 yr Great selection Leo! Keep them coming. Love that Lee Moses and Otis Clay's 'That's How it Is.' The piano at the end is so brief, but so sweet. This stands up really well to Laura Lee's version I think.
November 2, 200420 yr I don't know if this qualifies as deep soul but a record I love is Jay Wiggins - Sad Girl
November 2, 200420 yr I get some of my deep soul from there as well. As you wrote, to each their own etc. link Seconded! A few more: James Brown "lost someone" (King) Unifics "beginning of my end" (Kapp) **also done by another group on Ebony Sounds, forgot the name Barbra Mason "a good man is gone" (Buddah) **been raving about this for awhile, this is just too good IMO.. Ruby Johnson "i'll run your hurt away" (Volt) best Leo
November 2, 200420 yr What about this wonderful record? Tryying to attach a scan of My ters are dry - Hoagy Lands. Won't attach for some reason. Edited November 2, 200420 yr by Billy Freemantle
November 2, 200420 yr Any of Dave Godin's Deep Soul compilation CDs are a good start. Also, a personal favourite: Lea Roberts "Prove It" (Minit)
November 2, 200420 yr One of the "deepest" has to be Screamin Joe Neal Don` t Quit Me Baby Emerge Marc
November 2, 200420 yr One of the "deepest" has to be Screamin Joe Neal Don` t Quit Me Baby Emerge Totally agreed. The "Screamin'" part of his name surely makes sense! The flipside, "She's My Baby", is the top tune for me though. Got myself a reasonably priced copy a while back. Well chuffed.
November 2, 200420 yr Some of my favourites............ Spencer Wiggins "I Can't Be Satisfied" MGM Sounds of Memphis Kim Tolliver "I'm Losing The Feeling" Chess Melvin Van Pebbles feat Jo Armstead "You Cut Up The Clothes In The Closet of My Dreams" Stax Joe Valentine "I Can't Stand To see You Go" Ronn & Val I can't let a thread on Deep Soul go without once again mentioning the George jackson Soul nights at Smersh in London, where Mark, Anthony, Gareth and guests have been presenting deep soul music as a serious alternative to the overplayed sounds available elsewhere, for the last six years or so. Regulars will have enjoyed the fine selection of deep soul tracks on the give away CD from last year. Particularly Gareth's lovely copies of: George Hughley "It Hurts Me Too" (Fairlane) Lee Mitchell "How Can You Be So Cold" (H&L) For those that may have missed out take a listen to the George Jackson guest radio show on the Soulcast website to hear some of the finest Deep soul and crossover: https://www.soulcast.co.uk/

November 3, 200420 yr Really glad that Thunder in my heart gets a mention. Such a great record. Does anyone know who the musicians are on that one. Brilliant guitar.
November 3, 200420 yr Sadly no idea. The other side isn't a half bad more uptempo number as well. Didn't Johnnie Mae Matthews produce this, or have some association with the Bon label?
November 3, 200420 yr Really glad that Thunder in my heart gets a mention. Such a great record. Does anyone know who the musicians are on that one. Brilliant guitar. link Now there's a record which if it came up for sale I would sell my collection for...anyone?
November 3, 200420 yr Deep Soul Nothing better to chill out too........ Benny Latimore - I Can't Go On Anymore - Blade Earl Gaines - Fruit FromAnother Mans Tree - Hollywood Jimmy Armstrong - Your Getting Next To me Baby - Brothers Three Johnny Adams - Sometimnes A Man Will Shed A few Tears Too - Peacemaker Moving Parts - On The Verge Of Tragedy - Bobby Check out John Ridleys superb reviews and sounds >>HERE<<
November 3, 200420 yr Maybe mainstream but seldom bettered IMVFHO Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes - I Miss You PIR proper soul record John
November 3, 200420 yr Now there's a record which if it came up for sale I would sell my collection for...anyone? link hate to say it but I got my rather battered but eminently playable copy from e.bay when Pete Smith told me about this new fangled internet auction thingummy some years ago now. No one else bid on it so it cost more in post I think. Never thought I'd even have one in my hands, let alone get to buy it. First got to hear it when Rod Dearlove played it to me down the 'phone, I was bowled over. Sorry, not for sale! Thats a great site Chalky, nice one.

Thats a great site Chalky, nice one. link Talking of Rod...dug some tapes out of the cupboard and there was a few of his with oddball stuff, his faves and raves, fair bit of deep...every type of soul, some good stuff. Just need to get it all on to cd now.
November 3, 200420 yr Really glad that Thunder in my heart gets a mention. Such a great record. Does anyone know who the musicians are on that one. Brilliant guitar. Sorry, don't know anything about the musicians... But you're absolutely right. That's an utterly brilliant tune. Can't believe how I forgot it in my list above. It's such a blasting and primitive track. Love it! Edited November 3, 200420 yr by Sebastian

November 4, 200420 yr Kim Weston- Too much love making link Not played my deep 45's for many a year, 2 will dig out tonight that used to turn me to a quivering chivers Mill St Depot You Wont Support Me (Stang) ? Village Choir - Talk To Me (Abbot ?) Cheers Jock.
November 4, 200420 yr Uniques - Blessed Are The Meek Slim Smith - I'm At The Turning Point (in fact, anything by Slim) Conquerors - Lonely Street Desmond Dekker - Fu Manchu Marcia Griffith - Mark My Word Rita Marley - Come To Me Ken Boothe - You Left The Water Running The other side to Ken Boothe (The One I Love) is fantastic aswell. Not as fantastic as Johnny (Dudley Williamson?) & The Attractions - 'I'm Moving On' though. Rock Steady real cool and as deep and soulful a record as you'll ever hear. Fave US, Jimmy Conwell, 'Let It All Out'.

Fave US, Jimmy Conwell, 'Let It All Out'. link The other side of I'm Moving On is just as good (Young Wings Can Fly) - this is a really rare Doctor Bird 45...need a copy actually
November 4, 200420 yr link Young Wings Can Fly is a little bit on the sweet side for me but agree it's a great record. Does it have to be on Doctor Bird? The odd Gayfeet copy turns up on e-Bay occasionally. Sorry Pete, I'd better go now in case somebody wants to talk about soul.
