Malc Burton >>> Easily achievd these days I believe with modern technology- ask a chap called Tony Warot, I think he knows a bit about it. Not that we'd want to start some bizarre Northern Soul karaoke fetish... mmm... perhaps that is why we sometimes like the instrumentals- we can practice trying to sing them!

Tony and I know each other from the old days ...... As you say , Tony is a wizard with technology ; He was the one who mixed the vocals from Jackie Wilson and Erma Franklin's seperate versions of " I Get The Sweetest Feeling " together , to create the duet version . There are karaoke CDs available containing the instrumentals of northern / old soul records ...... I have a friend who works in a music shop that sells them .

Guest Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Is this obtainable anywhere, or was it a private experment? Tony Warot mixed the Jackie Wilson & Erma Franklin version of " IGTSF " in the mid seventies , and it surfaced on emidiscs . Tony's mixing of the two sides was excellent , and if you did not know that it was a custom job , you would swear it was the real thing , recorded by the two artists in a studio together . I seem to recall that the cut made it onto a 45 a few years ago ; there should be someone out there who will confirm this . I have seen it on various unofficial CDs , and there must be someone on this site who can post it up as a sound clip . Malc Burton Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Just have a listen if you get chance. Steve Just had a listen, you're right Steve it would. Or would be better with someone else singing it with just a little a bit more gusto, that lazy blues style singing of Big Joe Turner is definatley an aquired taste.

TONE My statement was probably a bit too sweeping Tony, i meant on that particular record, it's just too uptempo for his blues voice. No doubting his talent. He could sing rock & roll numbers with drive & pace so it seems strange he chose to sing that record in a bluesy style ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

BJT started singing while tending bar in Kansas City in the mid 1930s (so I guess that BitchDJ's comment about him sounding like a pub singer is technically accurate, if musically more than a million miles from the truth...). He was so popular with his patrons that the owner of the bar rigged up a mic so Joe could shout the blues whenever the mood took him, while still serving drinks,... BJT is one of the greatest of all time, as far as I'm concerened. There really want much that Joe couldn't sing with 100% heart and soul. His original versions of "Chains Of Love" and "Sweet Sixteen" will always be landmark recordings in the history of American music. Ironically, his worst ever record is probably "Two Loves...." ...Hi Yo Silver! TONE Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

TONE I also love the sides he recorded with Pete Johnson between 1939 and 1944; things like "Roll 'Em Pete", "Baby Look At You" and "Lovin' Mama Blues". I'm pleased to own the last two on original UK Parlophone 78s - surely the earliest UK releases to credit Joe Turner! My copy of "Roll 'Em Pete" is the US 78 on Columbia - anyone seen a UK 78 of this? Edited March 13, 2007 by Gene-R Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soul-slider Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Had the Ipod on random the other night & 'The Primers - How Does It Grab You' came on. I can't help thinking everytime i hear it "I wish this was an instrumental" ! Great driving Northern beat but absolutly dire vocals (imho) Any other tunes have the same effect on anyone ? Changing the idea slightly, simply beacause these 2 vocals did have instrumental versions anyway.... Joey Dee & The New Starlighters - How Can I Forget You - (Caniel), much better as instrumental.... and this.... Queen City Show Band - True Patron Of The Arts - (Pow).......and the vocal...The Razor's Edge also on Pow....dire, weak, white vocals, great lyrics though..."She's a go-go girl who's in with the in-crowd, a true patron of the arts!"

Pete S Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I did the instrumental of It'll Never Be Over For Me, if you remember, I posted a load up including this 2 years ago and said you watch, these will eventually circulate. Mick Holdsworth did an edit in the middle which improved it, but you still can't completely get rid of the vocal. But the record that would sound best as an instrumental - and there's nothing wrong with the vocal, it's fantastic, I'd just love to hear an inst of I'll Always Need You by Dean Courtney. try listening to just the strings, it's an incredible arrangement.
