I love tunes like Sweets - "something about my baby" or Big Maybelle's "it's raining."

 

I'm sure people out there have tons of other great suggestions. I am looking to blow up my want list!

 

thanks! 

The wonderful Shirley Wahls perhaps?

 

My all time fave beat ballads - Ruby & the Romantics and Mamie Galore

Kev

Ruby and the romantics. We can make it. Kapp. Just a sublime production with awesome vocals

Could someone please post a clip for the people that will not have heard it.

Steve

Good version of 'This time tomorrow' by the Sisters Love, if I remember rightly.

Chi Chi , "just let it happen" 

Darlettes "Lost"

Van McCoy magic

Superb if well known and easily available. However, I have a one-sided demo which has a much more intense sound than the issue (to my ears anyway...)

Here's one of my favourites !

just got this...

 

Enjoyed this thread very much. Good to see and hear some tunes that were new to me. Only thing is that some seemed a little bit too fast to be beat ballads, more medium tempo but I'm not complaining. More please.

Another goodie.....

 

This  type of sound appeals more and more nowardays , love that   Shirley Wahls   track   why am i crying ?    never heard it before .

The Mutts Nutts

 

 

 

 

Four from me,Annabelle Fox-Lonely Girl-Satin.Toni Harper-Someone's Crying-Charter.Suzy Wallis-A time for us-Rca,and......Timi Yuro-Get out of my life-Mercury (enough to make a grown man cry!!) Les Ash.

Patti Austin - " He's Good Enough For Me "

Makes me smile on a Sunday morning listening to my 9yr old daughter sing it word perfect

Top tune

One of the wife's favorites

Great thread.............

Sonji Clay is the ex wife of Muhammed Ali for those interested in knowing that  x
