Not sure if it’s been done before but here’s a couple for starters

Dead - Carolyn Sullivan - Phillips and Rhonda Davis - Long Walk On A Short Pier - Duke

Perhaps some kind soul could put them up please

Has “going home ( to an empty house )Sunshine (herb ward) been mentioned .

Wendy Rene sounds really miserable on these two tracks - don't think they came out on vinyl though?

 

 

Hi cant agree on the first choice, its sung within the title, check out Carla Thomas's version also unreleased at the time. William Bell I have, love that too. Gilly 

All this funky edged stuff. ? It wasn't played years ago because it was miserable and crap nothing has changed.  😎

Tin hat at the ready to 🤣🤣

Well if we're saying ....  all the soulless tailor-made instros (removed-vocals tracks) in the Casino era make me very very miserable .... even more so if one gets played at a do I'm attending.

This is on a par with Caroline Sullivan. Fucking awesome:

Seventies Misery First Loving alone and not receiving Love back has got to be the most miserable feeling

I had a look through my collection to put up a track in the "happy" thread, i found 2 and they had already been put up so i reckon more like 80%

Totally, but many sad soul songs have a happy ending end, or put a positive spin on the situation by the end of the song. 

The list is endless,I could post 10 songs per day,

the following song is definitely in my top five

I have a boot (I think it is not official) where it has on B side Wendy Rene with After Laughter,

A side has another great song

 

I'll post pictures when I'll find it

Edited July 25, 20186 yr by RC166

Flipside of Wendy Renee is "What Will Tommorrow Bring"

Yours is probably some re-issue 👍

Cheers Paul

Hi Paul,I think that my copy is just a boot,

like this one,having a Hong-Kongonese version of Bang Bang

 

as i said previously i've got loads of these, so i will start with this one

 

another not mentioned

 

Wish that this was mine

 

I found the record,

it plays great but I doubt if it is licensed

             ...the flip side to...

           “I CANT PLEASE YOU”

        ...agonizingly miserable...

              ... and brilliant ...

clear winner thus far!   Virgil is without doubt one of the most miserable fuckers I've heard in years..  reason, the vocal, lyrics, backing are all on a par...  even Bobby Bland never stooped this low...

you can have the MP3, you wont listen to it much 😞  wollow in it people!!

Great choice,I had a long time to listen it

My choice for today:

 

 

Probably only miserable if you listen to it, as the jolly uptempo rhythm can make you ignore the lyrics.
