Hopefully, this topic hasn't been dealt with....otherwise sue me

There are certain tunes that make me cry...for all sorts of reasons - sentimental, memories, sheer quality and sincerity of delivery. I'll start the ball rolling -

1. Carl Hall - What's Come Over You - B side of 'My Baby's So Good' (but only the demo - issue has wrong track). When Randy Cozens played this to me I didn't appreciate how genius it was - but years on, the lyrics describe similar personal experiences....and that makes it so much more powerful
   
2. Dells - Make Sure - the ultimate ender...when it's time to say 'goodbye' this is what will be playing at my last earthly gig.
   
3. Tony Middleton - Paris Blues....does it every time - don't ask me why as I haven't got a clue
   

What tracks get your tear ducts working....Jo

Everytime for me, Louis Armstrong 'What a Wonderful World'

BETTER MAKE THAT EX-WORLD BY THE LOOKS OF THINGS AT THE MOMENT.

I noticed that too Jo - just goes to prove that the blokes are the biggest softies after all

Mind recovered from it's earlier blankness at last - here's my last one - (at least for now)

Ray Pollard - The Drifter

Karen

Well here's another "lassie" quite a few make me cry too but my main one is

Barbara McNair - You're Gonna love my Baby

And sorry guys but my non-soul one actually two are

Spirit in the Sky - I can't remember who sings it but it reminds me of my childhood dog who died when that record came out and my sister used to play it to torment me!

and even sillier is - Two Little Boys ... probably makes me homesick! That's what happens when you live in a far off land!

There is a Scottish one too that I can't listen too without crying but only the Scots would know that one.

which scottish one Una ?

Is it 'Donald Wheres ya Trooosers' ? I loved that record when I was kid.

You're just being pedantic now. Lainie Hill is northern soul. Carole King is pop/rock.

You ever seen a photo of Lainie Hill incidentally?

Yes, Pete, that's why I made the point. Lainie's record is sung by a white person, written by a white person and produced by a white person. Doesn't make it any more of a soul record, therefore, than "It's Too Late" is. I'm not denying it's a Northern Soul record, but that wasn't how it was described in the posting, was it?

Not being pedantic, just being particular...

which scottish one Una ?

It's "At Hame wi' ma Ain Folk" We've been at some of the parades for Anzac day here and it ends up in the pub with the old soldiers, (you just follow the bagpipes) and they always sing that! I start crying, then they start!

Another moment was my birthday(St Patrick's day) I had five pipers playing happy birthday, then they played Flower of Scotland! I was off again!

Most of the time I'm okay, and I do a good rendition of Donald Where's your Troosers!

Non-soul:

The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

The Smiths - Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me

nice call

the first has made me well up many a time

the second has made me laugh with all the irony the song intended.

Soul wise, bit cliched but Shirley Whals, Why am I crying, and 'Colour him father' are the two soul tracks that have reduced me to tears.

JOHNNY CASH - HURT

The Chilites Toby & Coldest days for personal reasons you understand
