I remember a slightly different version of Strange Change Herb Ward being played, or is it a faulty memory?

there's an alternaive vocal/intrumetal to honest to goodness, plus accap & insrumental of strange change

I got this from Elsie as well about Darrell Banks

"The Songs We Did Are: Somebody Somewhere Needs You: Angel Baby: I’m Knocking At Your Door: I’ve Got That Feeling: Just Because Your Love Is Gone: Never Alone: My Love Is Reserved For You: No One Blinder: I’m Saving My Loving."

It would be nice to hear of 'a day in the life of a backing singer'; probably bored senseless and pee-poor pay?

this thread might help. watch the videos and if it is played on it, give us the time and @chalky will enlighten you, i'm sure

It really does Simon T, thanks a lot!

"before an otherworldly scream gives way to soul with a social conscience. L.J’s angry, frustrated vocal sits atop the arrangement as the track quickens"

i'm sure he still alive, have a trawl through facebook for a contact

Thanks Simon!

But you are not sure? I wanna use it in a book I'm writing, so need to be sure :-)

Something like this:

"Several powerful vocalists deliver the message, but most prominent is xxx, whose deep and raw voice repeatedly cries out hoarsely and in falsetto, sending a shiver down your back."

this might help, good luck with the book

off tinternet:

The lead vocals on "Beware of the Man (With the Candy in His Hand)" by The Dramatics are primarily sung by L.J. Reynolds. Ron Banks also provides vocals on the track. The song, written by Tony Hester, is part of the album "A Dramatic Experience"

as my mother used to say, both neither use nor ornamment............but the extentend on might help ID the 70's boots

Jannette Harper circa 1978 from late sister

first buy Yvonne Baker, most probaby £1-£2 at the Fleet circa 1980

From a long defunct excellent comprehensive Motown site under artists;

1962: The Vandellas with Martha Reeves is formed as Marvin Gayes' backing

Vocals

Velvelettes (The), 1962- 1970: The varied line ups have consisted of

Carolyn Gill, Mildred Gill, Bertha Barbee, Norma Barbee, Betty Kelly,

Annette McMillan and Sandra Tilley. They were backing singers on many of

the Motown hits, and their own best known single was the 1965 hit "He

Was Really Sayin' Somethin'"

Anecdotally, my late brother was a Pink Floyd obsessive when I asked him about Doris Troy backing on Dark Side of the Moon (along with Barry St. John, Lesley Duncan, and Liza Strike, contributed backing vocals on tracks) he replied ‘yeah I know her, she’s one of your lot, isn’t she?’

He saw TDSOFTM tour in the early 70’s and knew of backing singer Carlena Williams (of Soulful Drop in the Bucket fame to us)

thanks. the walrush of love

Trying to find a song, the only lyrics know:

“Well I put on my hat and threw on my coat

Probably a big black geezer, sexy voice

Sounds a bit like ‘hit the road jack’

What is the other side like? It might be that ‘they didnt know’ was a typical no one cares b side? No particuliar care of how it turns out? Personally I don’t mind it,I’ve certainly heard a lot worse,maybe this is under attack because of its value it usually achieves?

it's very nice

I can only find a 7" Acetate for the J.B. Willingham it is on Associated - It's strange they would also cut Don't wanna be hurt no more  a 10" with a different B side but maybe it was a test cut or a cost saving thing?

did this scan come from tinternet?
