Pete S Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 This is from a 1976 ITV documentary called Aquarius...it's the only footage I've seen of Roy Shirley, who was one of Jamaica's most soulful singers. I cut the clip short as he starts showboating a bit! Note Rico Rodrigues on trombone. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 Soulful singer - but it doesn't literally mean he sings soul songs. I'll put an mp3 up see if you can hear what I mean. Anyway it's more for the fact it's a very rare clip (the video I mean) p.s. the attached mp3 is not one of my favourite tracks but it was the first I found Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Unquestionably one of the greatest and most individualistic soul singers of all time as far as I'm concerned, up there with Otis Redding, Solomon Burke, Toots Hibbert and James Carr - and even better live than on records... ....Hold them right and left now, Shirley!
