1966 Soul out of Chicago, though sounding more like Motown or even the Philly sweet soul to come

quote:

'Even James Carr admitted that Roy Hamilton's 1969 cover rivaled his original. For my money, it's just as good. Whereas Carr was emotional from the start, Hamilton initially sings with his customary restraint and dignity, then gives way to an agony and shame of harrowing intensity. Recorded months before he died, this song is a haunting farewell from a still overlooked singer.'

The Dells - "Higher & Higher" (original version, 1967)



Pretty good

It's just that Jackie knocked it out of the park

Great (Philly!) soul from '73, but we're getting perilously close to disco

Very rare clip of Ike Turner & The Rhythm Kings on the Party Time TV show in St Louis (1959)

Freddie Scott - "Hey Girl" (1963)

I think you can hear the evolution from Brill Building to Soul in this Goffin-King song. Gerry Goffin's production is based in girl groups (especially the backing singers), but Scott's vocal and Carole King's music seem to hint at something new.

What a great record, I love that chorus.

And those moves aren't exactly chopped liver.
