Surely Not The Same Singer?

Posted

 

Ever heard two songs by the same artist that sound so unlike you suspect they are by two different people?



The Snake by Al Wilson and Show and tell, sounds like two different geezers!





LJ Reynolds & Chocolate Syrup - What's A Matter Baby and Your Magic Put A Spell On Me, One sounds like Otis Redding the other sounds like Smokey Robinson?



Check out LJ Reynolds - Key To The World, this is what's making me go "oooooooooh" today! Quite fookin brilliant!!!

Heard Ben E King - 'Getting to me' on Saturday night. Compared with 'Can't break the news' and others, sounds like a different artist as the vocal is so deep on getting to me..

You can't mean it! I'll post up a couple, see what folk think ..

Eddie Holman - I Surrender

Sounds like two different singers on the same record.

Spyder Turner - When he starts doing the impersonations of other singers on "Stand By Me"

Getting to me - ben e king - atco

Walking in the footsteps of a fool - ben e king -

 

The lead singer of the Soul Blenders, who recorded "Tightrope/Driving Me Mad" on Knight, was supposedely Gary Sol'e. On listening to the echoey vocals on "Driving Me Mad", I could have sworn it was actually Jim Davidson doing his 'Chalky' routine in a toilet!

I think he's covered it all these years .. :rolleyes:

A tune with the title "Gettin' To Me" is in the recording logs for Ben E. King's Atco material. And it sure sounds like him. He had an incredible vocal range and there are plenty of hidden nuggets amongst his Atco recordings. A fantastic artist in my opinion. Listen to the voice on the tune below.
