Popular Post Woodbutcher Posted June 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2020 Not sure what kind of 'spin' you're going to have to put on that to persuade people on here that it has anything remotely to do with soul music ... ? 5 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Briank Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 Not trying to put a spin on anything. Just looking for help to identify the singer. It could be from Cold Blood for all I know. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mrmick Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Sorry Brian I am in total agreement with the above. To me it sounds like country and western or maybe deep country.. wasn't at all soulful to me. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Speedlimit Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I agree with the above unfortunately it sounds like dolly Parton. But it could be country soul. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Michael V Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I know I was wrong about the P.P. Arnold one (that was'nt ) but I'm pretty sure this is Jackie De Shannon; sounds so like her,not only vocally ,but songwise it sounds like a blueprint for her 'Put A Little Love in Your Heart' hit of 1969- or perhaps a soundalike follow up that never was 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Davenpete Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Sounds like the - Partridge Family only less soulful... Some tunes should stay in the can. Dx Edited June 25, 2020 by Davenpete 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It will be interesting to hear if it is her and will be reassuring to know my hearing is still OK,even if my eyesight is getting worse (by the week,it seems- roll on the re-opening of Soul events and live gigs so those of us of a certain age can enjoy ourselves of an evening and stick two fingers up at getting old!) 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Ficklefingers Posted June 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2020 For what it's worth.. I think that different views being aired by way of Topic Postings is a healthy thing, and commensurate with what these types of forums are about.. a bit of healthy debate, and a cross-section of views and opinions The only other 'KEY' thing I'd add in response to the opening post is.. This is a forum for and about SOUL MUSIC.. not just anything that someone may interpret in their personal view to be Soul Music or related, and therefore this shouldn't even be a post for us to discuss in the first place ?? Just saying like.. 5 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tricky Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 You know what. This site is becoming a joke. People are fed up with a supposedly Soul Forum having less and less to do with Soul. I could carry on but what is the point. Get on with it and I will just occasionally look at record sales. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Gold Band Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Eh Eh Calm down lads its just differences of opinion we have all had that at one time or another and I know that there are a great number of true gentlemen on here that support the views of others whether they agree with the posts or not.

Rich B Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I always try to work on the "if you can't say anything nice" principle. But in all fairness that tune has nothing to do with what I understand to be soul music, so I can understand why people were critical. No need to get too excited though eh? 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Woodbutcher Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Just to reiterate , the title of the site is "Soul Source" , there's a clue in the title ... There are umpteen ways the word 'soul' can be interpreted musically ... and at no point in its history would the recording in question ever be tagged as 'soul' music as long as it's got a hole in its centre. There is no need for all the 'touchy-feely' ... 'let's love everyone' approach to every single thread on here , leave that on the Current Affairs side of the site , the OP knows full well that the recording is not soul music (regardless of how many times it's denied) and should have expected a certain amount of scornful replies . I stand by my first comment regarding the acetate , it's not a personal attack on the poster just an opinion formed from having actually listened to the clip , had anyone else (and I mean ANYONE else) posted it my reply would have been identical. Why the hell I've just typed all this I'm not sure , guess I'm just bored treading on eggshells and the way things are headed on here . Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

But neither would many records played on the Northern SOUL scene with which this site is heavily intertwined. I have no problems with opinions that is what a forum is all about, it was the snide comments creeping into the site and the digs at certain aspects and people. This site has never been nicey touchy feely and there is no need to tread on egg shells, never done that myself, always said what I think but I do try to be constructive.... The guy asked for help, why he couldn’t be offered that along with constructive criticism I’m not sure, he didn’t need pointing in any direction etc. But as Mike says no problem as far as he is concerned so lets agree to move on. I’ll listen to the track when I get home later. Edited June 27, 2020 by Chalky 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Leicester Boy Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I think even in a so called friendly scene like ns , rare soul posters are going to vary greatly on how they respond on topics, the other forum i sometimes go on which is for my football clubs fans some threads decend into almost hatred and thats from people who support the same club, its human nature made worse by a certain invisibility.

It may have been better (and I would have posted this on the Freebasing bit), honestly, if this record is and was played on the Soul Scene, I would have fetched my coat very very quickly.

Well done for asking her and getting confirmation Perhaps you would be kind enough to ask her so we can finally know, after all this years, who was backing vocals on her "Laurel Canyon" LP besides Barry White and Don MaCallister, as the lady credited on her LP is a Brendetta Davis and you may know that this was/is believed to be a pseudonym of a famous Brenda we all know Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
