I was playing some tunes yesterday and stuck this on. Had forgotten how good it is.

Unbeatable!

Maybe not what you would call a typical tearjerker but a sad and powerful song IMHO.

 

 

Impressions - I've Been Trying.....

 

 

Loads.  But that's what's so special about this music we love. 

Steve 

Big maybelle "oh lord what are you doing to me" 😢 awesome tune.baz

Ray gant and Arabian knights /   don't leave me baby        /wow! What a tearjerker 

I could pick a few by Tommy Tate....

 

Deep, Deep Soul - 

 

  

  It just doesn't get much better than this tear jerker from Bobby Hutton - Come See What's Left Of Me 

Very well known but such an evocative and sad song.

 

Another favourite.

 

 

 

Got to be up there for me.

This one gets me everytime

 To right Steve, I hadn't heard it before until three years ago when Ted Massey did a guest spot at a Soul Night here in Poole, it certainly got my attention.

Can believe next year it will be 50 years since he left this earth.

Such an emotional voice.

must say that i prefer the Sandra Phillips version. Think that Dolly Parton would have been good covering this though (weird thought).

What about this one ?

 

 

This one does it for me. Levi Stubbs at his very best! Love this extended version too:

 

Listen to the pain in his voice !!!

Ste .... 😟

   Never fails to move me this Awesome Tear Jerker from Ray Pollard as it builds up to the last few lyrics telling his sad story with that incredible powerful voice, this is Soul Music at it's very Best... 

Two of the best are-prove it[aretha]-i can't find[smokey].

really hits the ceiling this one 

Mary Wheeler also does a fine job with "Prove It"

Superb ballad, but was it played at Wigan?

Ed

Probably not- I wondered about that when i saw it on you tube.

Bobby Hutton lend a hand , every time I’ve heard it over 40 years it still makes me well up , so much emotion put into it

I think I got this LP around 76, and did not know any of the tracks, and certainly none were being played at Cleggy WG at the time.

Maxine just blew me away, and the crescendo at the end is sublime.

Gets right to the spot.

   I unfortunately had to attend a Family Funeral today, what I didn't allow for was this Soul Masterpiece from Roberta Flack to be played during the service when as you can imagine you could have heard a pin drop, it was just to much for me to take....

Sorry for your loss. A dear friend of mine passed this week and Roberta can certainly make you ponder what life is all about...

 

Ed

@Bruv i wanted to give you a thumbs up for your choice of record but under the circumstances it doesn't seem appropriate. So sorry for your loss pal.

Usually makes me "well up"
