Marv,don't get me started on the great one who influenced a whole generation of soul singers,i believe he was regarded as a soprano as a child,i don't think he ever made a bad song from his days with[the dominoes]to his founding and leading[the drifters]and his great solo career,i'm still trying to find his[1965]gem[crying won't help you now]i have a picture of the original drifters with clyde front and center,marv if you have a copy of his gem[only a fool-1969]just listen to his smooth presentation,a founding father of smooth-the great clyde mcphatter!
I am going to find it. Clyde was pure talent and ability. No else sounded like him and he made it look effortlessly. I was saddened to learn that he passed so young in the 70s. I would have loved to hear him sing live in concert.Quote:

Hi!
Here Clyde does a fine version of Book of Memories - originally by Percy Wiggins - as one of his last recordings in 1970

My favorites period was his time with the Dominoes; that was pure, raw, gut bucket R&B. The Atlantic stuff , once he went solo, started gravitating towards pop but was still quite good. He was, in my mind, one of a kind!!
Great song. Sounds like one of his latter recordings in the 70s.Quote:

Jerry you know you're welcome. We do not discuss most of the great artists that most of us loved on the forum anymore. Just one skinny female singer it seems. [[well she use to be skinny LOL!)Quote:
