Mike Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 this version battle comes courtesy of a suggestion from longtime member @Kegsy It's a three way one this time I Have No Choice The three versions to choose from... Johnnie Mae Matthews Sharon McMahan aka Audrey Matthews version Black Nasty Johnnie Mae Matthews Sharon McMahan aka Audrey Matthews version Black Nasty there you go, all you need to do now is just voice your choice and yes you do have one! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tomangoes Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 So hard to choose! All brilliant. Went with the Nasty just for its modern feel, but would love to own all of them. Ed 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Concrete Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Black Nasty 45 took me by suprise thought it was lp only, little bit of investigation shows its a photo shop Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Davenpete Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) Defo Audrey Matthews (especially for the dodgy Classiest Rarities CD cover design courtesy of me/Carne Whitney Partners!) - I'm sure everyone knows by now but Black Nasty were Johnnie Mae's kids.

Missing Link Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Johnnie Mae Matthews - but only just. The rawness in her voice makes me believe that she really means it. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Scootboy Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I feel that Johnnie Mae Matthews is the safe option but I voted the Black Nasty version, amazing production,works perfectly for my mood this time of the year Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

How do you vote on this ? Three simply sublime pieces of soul music all produced and arranged with passion. Audrey Matthew's ( I think ) But the Black Nasty version is a brilliant modern take on it. Johnnie Mae Matthews version simply blew me away when I first heard it at a nighter. Steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Scootboy Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 The Sharon McMahon version from Heyley records is different from the one posted, all the versions are excellent Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Very two step-ish. . Not quite as strong as the other takes in my humble opinion Steve Edited July 25, 2018 by Winsford Soul 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
David Meikle Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Myself and Graham Finch spent an afternoon at Johnnie Mae’s house on Santa Barbara in September 2001. When the ‘so called’ version by Audrey was played to JM she declared that she had no idea whose voice it was. JM’s son Artwell appeared later and gave the same opinion. Unfortunately Audrey was out of town that day but we do have another track to make comparison with under her pseudonym Kaiya. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

purist Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Back when JMM started it's domination of the rare soul scene, I remember some of the boys playing the Black Nasty version at venues like Albrighton etc and I was completely dismissive of it, because I was doing a straight comparison. I will always adore JMM, but these days I understand the Black Nasty and how it's different approach has something to offer. Older & Wiser maybe, but still voted JMM 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
John Siret Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Johnnie Mae Matthews for me. The others are good but Johnnie Mae Matthews is exceptional - beautiful piece of music. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
