Not sure if been posted before but are there any tunes that can bring you to. Tears for me as I'm a soppy old lad lol four top ask the lonely . It will never be over for me timi yuro . Not soul but Eva Cassidy over the rainbow go ahead show your emotions people

Patrice Holloway - Stolen Hours

Linda Jones - Just Can't Live My Life

 

But probably most of all Rita and the Tiaras - Gone With The Wind Is My Love, only because she sang a cappella to a handful of us fortunate to be in the studio when she was being interviewed at Prestatyn, and Kev Moore managed to get her to sign a record sleeve for me, yippee!

Must agree with you on Four Tops -  Ask The Lonely - was the ever a better record put to vinyl?

if there is I'd like to hear it - quite simply THE best record ever made (alongside Marvin's "What's Going On" of coarse, oh and Marvin's "Save The Children"

Yes, "Ask the lonely" is a good choice. Would add these :

 

Impressions - I've been trying

Aretha Franklin - Baby baby baby

Billy Butler - Let her love me

 

and doubtless a few others I can't recall now....

Gladys Knight-Best thing that ever happened to me.

Betty Harris - What'd I do wrong

 

A sublime piece of deep soul. Betty wrings out the pain and despair in every syllable and those horns......... Cuts me up every time.

About 4 years ago, I had travelled to friday and saturday gigs to catch up and mingle with old mates. Sunday just flowed along like rest of the long weekend, catching glimpses and stories in a continued phase that I never wanted to end.

Monday morning comes and I head back to the slog of work, reminiscing. Mobile phone popped into ears as the music player honed random mp3s into my ears as I weaved the alleys on course to a humdrum day.

This song hit me as the strings introduced, the female vocals instructed me that her words were genuine, was that rain?

A tear nips out from the corner of my eye, I feel the emotion, the words......and the depth.

Almeta Lattimore - These Memories

Bobby Samson-Dont Leave Sublime (still can't believe he's from Brighton )

Ask The Lonely's a given of course.

Cheers

Martyn

The Vows ......"tell me "....gotta go .....i'm filling up !!

Pete's last podcast reminded me of this.....

The Dells - Make sure

Ray Pollard- The Drifter

This does it for me everytime , It's a tune I played a lot after my dear old Dad had a massive heart attack , god bless him 

 

AL GREEN - HOW DO YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART

 

 

and as above ASK THE LONELY , remember listening to some Northern Soul thing on the Radio one New Years Eve , pissed up by myself at home and some guy requested this for his Girlfriend ? who had passed away with cancer and I was blubbing like a baby , still wonder how he is .

KENNY LYNCH MOVIN AWAY

Has to be Big Maybelle Oh Lord What Are You Doing To Me

Ever since some one posted this up last year I've listened to this daily and it gets to me ever time,I know for some the Dells version is the one

but for me it's Joss Stone

The Love We Had (Stays On My Mind) (Official Video):

Lots of stuff by Tammi Terrell - I get very sad when I think of how young she was when she left us.

Beautiful voice, beautiful woman - so much potentially great music lost.

Bobby Hutton lend a hand such a perfect soul record full of emotion , every time I hear it it chokes me and reminds me why I love this music of  ours so much pure perfection !!!

Maybe like a few of you, the tears come a bit easier as I get older, but here are a few throat chokers:

 

Better - Ruby Winters

 

Strange Fruit - Billie Holiday

 

and, a bit left field - Stardust - Louis Armstrong (genius).

Anything I sing according to me better half!    

Loads of mid-tempo weepies, Jimmy Ricks gets me... "Oh what a feeling"

Lots of stuff by Tammi Terrell - I get very sad when I think of how young she was when she left us.

Beautiful voice, beautiful woman - so much potentially great music lost.

I don't know about actual tunes, but every time I see a documentary about Tammi Terrell, I can't help but blub. That footage of Ain't No Mountain high Enough, really gets me, she looks so happy.

 

Paul

I would imagine owning a very expensive tune that's been broken or knicked would do it.Agree with Ask the lonely though.

Oops forgot this one- 

Debbie Taylor - I Don't Wanna Leave You 

magical !

Ironically - 'No more tears' Anita Baker.

Harry Starr Another time Another Place.

Harry and the Cavars If this is Goodbye.

Lenny O henry Mr Moonlight.

Edited February 5, 201510 yr by Quinvy

Another that comes to mind.........

Walter Jackson-My Funny Valentine OKeh
