Many thanks for the extra posts on New Orleans soul. Since it's hard to find, I didn't realise it was so popular.

Thanks for the Betty Wright tribute. Nicely done. She will be missed.

Thanks to you all for the brilliant response. I'll be on this for the next month.

I've been playing Grapevine CD 'Northern Soul of New Orleans volume 1' on replay. Love the gritty sound on these tunes. Was there ever a volume 2? I know about Willie Tee & Robert Parker. Any more pointers for collections/labels from this city? I'm looking for CD compilations really. Thanks

Thank you all for the feedback. Much appreciated.

I like the big drama soul of Roy Hamilton and I'm searching a bit further than the big hits. Looking him up on Discogs I find 18 compilations and 18 original albums. That's a lot to wade through - spirituals, easy listening standards before you get to the soul goodies. Anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks

You've hit the nail on the head. I think certain singers had it - Rufus Lumley. Frankie Valli sometimes.

Thanks, I appreciate for all your knowledgeable feedback. I thought a tune with this much interest would be on a compilation somewhere (however legit). I'll seek it out when I have a few thousand spare from a lottery win.

Thanks for replying.

Does anybody know where I can pick up this lovely song on a compilation / CD anywhere. I've hunted around and can't see it on any obvious releases. I don't buy into expensive collecting so happy to find it anywhere. Any other tips for other songs available by Sandy Golden? Surely a performing name. I can't believe that a singer of this quality had such limited releases. Was this a contracted singer performing on another label under another name?

Thanks very much for your replies. You lot were quick in replying! Great tune.

Can anybody name a tune with the chorus lyric "When the trumpets play..." The tune has a male vocal doing a big drama number. I'd appreciate any pointers. Thanks
