Looking for artist/title of a 70/80's record but haven't a clue who is singing (female) or any of the lyrics. Only know the riff of the record (mid tempo) but a bit useless on here. It was a big record for Soul Sam quite a few years ago and the last time I heard it played out would be by Rob Wicks at the Bridlington weekender again a few years ago. That's it I'm afraid but a long shot is through this useless scrap of information someone might know the tune.

Many thanks,

In Anticipation,

Ian

No I'm afraid it isn't this one but hopefully enough posts will be put up and it will turn up. Googled to Soul Sams playlists last night but still couldn't track it down. Also forgot to mention that I'm sure the record starts off with a brief monologue and then breaks out into the main song.

No afraid not. Keep them coming and I'll continue the search. First heard Soul Sam play it many years ago. It's not a recent outing and I have a feeling it is rare?

Edited November 17, 20159 yr by ik001

Not rare but mid tempo, female and spoken introduction - superb soul record anyway.

 

No not this one. Too slow but keep them coming, I will not be deterred even though I'm not the greatest lover of 70's 80's soul.

Cheryl Burdell? 

Motherfox? Not female though - awesome riff and record though.

 

Using top Sam spins as my guide - and last guess from me. Flight

Not an 80's record though - maybe not even 70's but late 60's

Know that one Rob and that's pure northern, this one was a 70 or even 80 track (or I assume so). Cant think of any lyrics to it, but you definitely played it the main room at Brid maybe 4/5 years ago? It will probably be an obvious one if it is revealed?

Very similar to this one but not the one. We might be getting closer?

Don't put them off Pete, just need help tracing this one. Not a 70/80's fan myself so need some guidance.

If it is that "Under lock and key" IL shite that you've been bigging up on FB should definitely get a mention. 

 

Apologies if if its not you but that other Pete Smith that upsets people

No not this either. Could just add it is one that appeals to the 70/80's and Northern crowd so not looking at an obscure modern one if you get my drift??

No, I didn't really think it would be, but anything with the line "F*ck you, and the Range Rover you rode in on!" deserved to be brought to a wider audience. And let's face it finding the actual tune on the info you have supplied is a bit of a long shot.... so it was meant to be a bit of fun really.

It is a long shot indeed, but always worth trying? The song is in my head but none of the lyrics but patience is a virtue and one day I'll hear it played somewhere.

Maybe we should start a new game called "Name That Tune

Someone writes and asks us to name a tune that they heard 30 or 40 years ago that they think was played by a certain dj at a certain venue but they can't be sure which dj or which venue. They can't remember who it was by or any of the lyrics or even if sounded a bit like another record and then we send in guesses and he replies saying sorry not that one until we get so pissed off that we give up.

As it it such an original idea it might even be turned into a TV show, or have I heard that before but can't remember?

Sandra wright or Almeta latimore?

Eula Cooper - Try ????

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit (or so I'm lead to believe?) Just trying to find the name of a record. Can't say I'm the only member on this site that doesn't have a tune floating in his/her head that they don't know the artist/title to? Just thought members on here might be able to help??
