Guest Johnny Mack Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Got to admit that I'm a fan - soul music doesnt have to be upbeat to get my attention - in fact its the slower cuts that make it for me. Here's a few I played a few today that I'll share with you all : Tasha Thomas - I saw the sky - Roulette Sylvia St Claire - Is he alright - Brunswick Garrett Saunders - A day or two - Serock Gene Stridel - Tomorrow is another day - Atlantic Phil Colbert - Who's got the action - Philips Roger Pace - You better know what you're doing - Twirl What's your faves ???

Guest NASHEE Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 (edited) I love em...I have a 'not suitable for playing out' box which contains stuff ranging from soulful beat ballads to crooner stuff. I love all the big well known ones, but six of my favorites are Jim Majure - depending on you Arthur prysock - before you break my heart Brook Benton where does a man go to cry Frankie valli - Thi is Goodbye Kenny Gamble - you dont know what you've got until you lose it and the very unsoulful Dick Haffner go 'way tears & Edited September 10, 2006 by NASHEE Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Bogue Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 (edited) Love em Ray Pollard - It's A Sad Thing ,one of my current favourites, probably cause' i just managed to get a copy. Also "The Drifter" by Ray, Ernie Andrews - Where Were You , brilliant Garnet Mimms - It Was Easier To Hurt Her , even brillianter !! Anyone ever heard "Johnny Nash's" version of "Old Man River" ? That's an hair on the back of the neck one if ever i heard one Edited September 12, 2006 by Bogue Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

That's an hair on the back of the neck one if ever i heard one What a toon got to be one of my faves at the mo will post it up when i get home if no one beats me to it Please do post it, I love beat ballads, don't hear enough imo. It is hard to pick a favourite as there are so many I love. Just a few I like: Dee Dee Sharp - I really love you Roy Hamilton - The panic is on, Heartache hurry on by, etc Bobby Bennett - Alone with my tears Lenny Welch - Run to my loving arms Hal Miller - Blessing in disguise Clyde McPhatter - Lonely people (can't afford to cry) Freddie Paris - There she goes Magnificent 7 - Never will I make my baby cry Prince Harold - Forget about me Jimmy Beaumont - I never loved her anyway Little Anthony & The Imperials - Hurt so bad, It's not the same, I'm lost without you, etc I could go on and on, but I am sure you get the picture.

Guest Polyvelts Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Beat ballads - brilliant ! but no more than 2 every 8 hours on the dance floor please Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Ms Murray Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 You may think so.... I don't. My point exactly!!! You state that you don't want to hear such tunes played out, but that is merely your opinion. There are a great many others that do want to hear them! Some fantastic tunes have been mentioned and they just don't get played out often enough! Surely playing a variety to suit many tastes is preferable?

Chalky Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 there's nothing wrong with a beat ballad or two in a set IMHO. Mid tempo and beat ballads is my prefered listening at home but I'm not that daft to think you can get a way with a full set of 'em...anyway I prefer to hear dancers, mid tempo moovers when out but I still think there is always room for the odd quality beat ballad or two in a set if done right Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Rowly Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Aw come on Rowly, end of the night or nighter when your legs can take no more. I bet there is a couple you have enjoyed ? I was doing it to provoke a reaction Gabriel.... After all it does say "love or hate em" in the thread title! I can hadle a couple at the end of a nighter without too much problem.... it's just when some numpty plays half a dozen or so in the middle of the night - around 3-4 am. NOOOO! don't do it!

Guest Stuart T Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I remember fondly the Barely Shuffling night organised by Nick Brown at the Phoenix, should have been more like that. Played stuff like (probably, it was a while ago) Gene Stridel, At The End Of The Day that was discussed on here recently, Knickerbockers, Chris Peterson, Big Maybelle as an ender. Shows how people's minds worked, got moaned at for playing slowies when I put on Timmy Shaw Thunder In My Heart. A fair cop! Should have played the b side.

Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 who wants to hear too many slow songs in a set, unless relevent at end as in Jimmy Radcliffe - Long after Tonight is Over classic Northern love song but don't want to hear many more as it's about playing faster ones Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Yes you cant beat a nice slow ender (esp Gene Stridel - used to always end my spots with that ) - but agree with Rowly that we dont wanna hear them in the middle of a soul nite / niter - keep the stompers coming!!
