Posted December 30, 200420 yr Fave spoken intro to soul record my top 3 at present would be Soul Bros Inc - Pyramid - Will never be beaten, still convinced in my own mind its Brook Brenton making a cameo Summits - Cant get over losing you - Great record - sounds sloshed which always helps Marvin Gaye - Get to this - Simply for the fact that I know that a truly wonderful piece of soul music is to follow - Any more for anymore ,
December 30, 200420 yr Isaac hayes- by the time i get to phoenix ........ 8.5 minute spoken intro to a 18.5 song lolol
December 30, 200420 yr Fave spoken intro to soul record Any more for anymore , link Not strictly Northern but pure amphetasoul The Contours - Do You Love Me. great example of Blackamerican music! Cheers Jock
December 30, 200420 yr Richard Temple would have to be the obvious one. Also I lve the intro to Lynn Collins "Think" & The Marvellettes "My Baby Must Be a Magician."
December 30, 200420 yr gotta agree with T & T - Please Operator what a stomper !!! link Thinking about T&T. I wonder if it was the first use of a phone conversation as an intro to a record... Going back to Samantha's 1970's I'm sure there was a phone call in Donna Summer's "The Hostage". can't remember if it was the intro though, and I don't have a copy to check

Going back to Samantha's 1970's I'm sure there was a phone call in Donna Summer's "The Hostage". can't remember if it was the intro though, and I don't have a copy to check link There's a couple of phone calls in that record, doesn't do much for the flow of the track, in fact whoever plugged that should be named and shamed p.s. I bought it
December 30, 200420 yr Goes without saying that "Pyramid" is tops, but I think Troy Keyes 'If I Had My Way" deserves a mention, along with "Lord What's Happening to Your People". I love those intros! One that cracks me up is "To Get You Back Again" by Karen Small on Venus. Anybody know that one? This voice says "Is he the one that broke your heart?" It sounds like a man barely trying to sound like a woman, in an almost joking way. I have to replay it at least tow or three times every time it comes on in my car. This stuff cracks me up sometimes. KTF Jas Suprised no one has mentioned Moonlight, Music and You/What Shall I Do
December 30, 200420 yr There's a couple of phone calls in that record, doesn't do much for the flow of the track, in fact whoever plugged that should be named and shamed p.s. I bought it link Pete, it was I, played for a bet one nite at sammies, although I would like to mention I broke Troy Keyes as well !
December 30, 200420 yr link Thought it might have been you.... What was the bet.. If I play this Donna Summer, anyone dance's, I'll break Troy Keyes. You won.
December 30, 200420 yr Thought it might have been you.... What was the bet.. If I play this Donna Summer, anyone dance's, I'll break Troy Keyes. You won. link Amazingly difficult Troy Keyes, I remember the first time I played it at Wigan. Wow was that a long intro or what, people just stood and stared at me. So I included it my next tape and passed it around all the Morecambe lads and their friends. After a couple of weeks driving around in their cars they were raving about it, so come sat nite 20 people danced to it.....cracked it!

December 31, 200420 yr "just hung up the telephone" Harold Melvin & the bluenotes......... Get out, even after all these years it still sends shivers down my spine. Garv.

December 31, 200420 yr Got to put my vote on Kenny Smith too. The one that makes me cringe is the spoken intro to Frankie & the Clasicals
December 31, 200420 yr Jerry Butler - Stop Stepping On My Dreams, most of the track is spoken, but the intro is excellent. Also Bobby Womack How could you break my heart Edited December 31, 200420 yr by Peter
January 4, 200520 yr The one that makes me cringe is the spoken intro to Frankie & the Clasicals link
January 5, 200520 yr Hamilton Movement - She's Gone. "Life is a funny, funny thing!" and Hewitt - Is it me? is a nice intro ramble. Jordi
January 5, 200520 yr "just hung up the telephone" Harold Melvin & the bluenotes......... Get out, even after all these years it still sends shivers down my spine. Garv. link Probably my personal favourite as well Garvy baby get's me everytime, superb. The one that's doing it for me at the moment though is almost a spoken rap intro (blaxploitation style jive talk not hip hop) and that's on Four Real Inc - The Man (Masterplan) - Flying Eagles which is a tuuuuuuune!!! Trouty
January 5, 200520 yr The one that makes me cringe is the spoken intro to Frankie & the Clasicals link I was just going to rave about that one! What about Brooks & Jerry for best gag? link
January 5, 200520 yr There's a spoken intro and a phone call on Love Unlimited's "Walkin' in the rain with the one I love", featuring the late Walrus himself as the male voice. Paul SITC
January 10, 200520 yr What about Lou Rawls - Dead End Street (Capitol)? I think the spoken intro is actually the best bit! Edited January 10, 200520 yr by sweeney
January 10, 200520 yr Kelly & Soul Explosions "Talking about my baby's love" (DYNAMITE) ...has a monster spoken-intro... "The things I'm gonna talk about - you may not wanna hear - some of you may break down & laugh - others shed a tear..." etc.etc. Luv it :dance: Cheers, Christian B

January 10, 200520 yr And I know this has been touched on before, but exactly WHAT does that guy say in the middle of Travis Wamack's "Scratchy?" My best guess: "Capital, please do it again won't you?" Sounds a tad PG Woodhouse though don't you think? pip pip!
January 10, 200520 yr Spoken intro that does it for me..... Trippin' On Your Love - The Staple Singers. Sends me Goosey every time. WOOF!
January 10, 200520 yr Spoken intro that does it for me..... Trippin' On Your Love - The Staple Singers. Sends me Goosey every time.

January 11, 200520 yr Spoken intro that does it for me..... Trippin' On Your Love - The Staple Singers. Sends me Goosey every time. WOOF! link Mmm... That's a nice one indeed... "I don't need no weed or speed"... Be sure to check out the 'original' version by Phillip Mitchell on Grapevine. A killer compilation! Cheers, CB
