Briank Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) I have this 10" acetate without a artist name and does not sound like the four tops, so who could it be. Looking for info.

Briank Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 I just play their version on utube and does not sound like my acetate. Ray Brown is a white guy and the one on the acetate sounds black. I know white guys wanted to sound rnb back then, but I don't think it's him in my opinion and ears. I never heard of Ray Brown before, so thanks for the input. What did you think of the track? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tattoodave Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Sounds like a white guy to me and he tries too hard. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Briank Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 I guess I could be wrong and it does sound like he's pushing it a bit. Does any one know what artist Dick Charles used? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Robbk Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 No surprise that I don't recognise it. It's in a style that's not to my taste at all. Usually, from the style of the arrangement, and the sound of the instrumentation, I can peg the recording in time, and sometimes to a given record label, or even producer. But, I can't even tell roughly when this recording was made. I would guess 1967-68. Definitely a "White" artist. He sounds "American". I don't hear an underlying "accent" under his "fake American 'Black' accent". I'd guess that he was from The US. But that's no guarantee. As that similar "fake American 'Black' accent" is often fairly close whether sung by US Blue Eyed Soul Singers, Aussies, (Anglophone) South Africans, Canucks, Kiwis and the like.

Briank Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Thanks for your input. Yea, it fooled me. They just wanted to make a rock version of the hit? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
