Stubass had created an 'open' thread posing the question of who was "the greatest 'soul' singer of them all"?

Well my question on this thread opens with, and, with any of your personal selections you might want to add herein--

What was your *favorite* soul records(s) selections you *loved* or remembered the most, from the 'random' year selected here... say, 1965?

For openers-- here's several of my own personal all-time '65 R&B faves:

* "The In Crowd" ... Dobie Grey
* "Make Me Your Baby" ... Barbara Lewis
* "Agent 00 Soul" ... Edwin Starr
* "A Lover's Concerto" ... The 'Toys'

And of course... I used to always love playing the heck out of this one, in 1965... back when!

Otis Redding-I've Been Loving You Too Long
Tony Clarke-Your The Entertainer

There is a couple I'm not sure was 65, like Eddie Holman, I thought that was 67 ? O'Jays-64 ? I decided to keep it down to one record per artist for that year.

By Soul Sister (68.73.167.246) on Sunday, June 22, 2003 - 04:40 pm:

Forgot: Misty-The Vibrations
Love Makes The World Go Round-Deon Jackson
Cool Jerk-The Capitols
And others...

Kev-Go; Wasn't that Temps & 4 Tops tunes in 64 ??
S.S.

By Jim Feliciano in Detroit. (64.12.97.7) on Sunday, June 22, 2003 - 05:17 pm:

Hey (my little) Soul Sister,
KevGo was absolutely right on the money with the 'Tempts' & 'Tops' for 1965....

But actually, "Love Makes The World Go 'Round" by Deon Jackson, and, the 'Capitols' all-time "million-seller" "Cool Jerk" were both... really, well into the "good year" of 1966.

Hey-- anyway besides, remember that I love reading ALL your posts... so keep it right here!

Jim;
When I met Deon late in '65 he was singing it then at live performances, and at a large stage show at Newark's Branford Theater, he & The Capitols did there thing early in '66. Peace my brother.

Hi Medusa9e2003,

Hey, I *love* that 'classic' R&B hit by Lenny O'Henry... that one was from 40 years ago, and that was (going way back) in 1963!

By KevGo (64.115.26.80) on Tuesday, June 24, 2003 - 02:15 pm:

Soul Sister:
5 Stairsteps-You Waited Too Long is from 1966
Walter Jackson-My Ship Is Coming In was recorded in 1967; The Walker Brothers recorded "My Ship" in 1965.
