A genuinely touching song, full of soul.
Mesmerizing!
ribbons and right-track, your glowing reports of Tammi Terrell's song, "All I do is think about you," inspired me to listen to it. She does have power and sweetness! Ribbons, I'd be interested sometime in seeing your LIZt of favorite R&B/soul songs that you'd recommend I LIZten to, since I'm pretty much entirely unfamiliar with this genre.

You could pay a visit to my thread where I profiled this very record VEGAN.
You should find a download link in the post title. The file size is over 6MB and it's from my personal collection.
There may be one or two other tunes in the thread you might like too.

Thank you, right-track. I will visit and download.

EDIT: How very sad that she died at age 24!!

right-track, many thanks for posting the link to your Soul Cellar thread. I had not read through it before, but will definitely be doing so now. What a treasure trove of great tracks (most of which I am unfamiliar with). Your write-up on Tammi and "All I Do Is Think Of You" is wonderful.

Interesting coincidence: After you mentioned that "All I Do" is Paul Weller's favorite soul song, I did a further search on that and in process discovered it is his birthday today!

I was a Style Council fan back in the day, and Paul's song "The Paris Match" (the version sung by him on Introducing The Style Council) is also one of my favorite songs of all time.

Very punny, dear Erica! Well, you are the right track LIZtening to right-track's collection. My knowledge of '60s/'70s soul/R&B definitely pales in comparison!

I had a nice LIZurely time LIZtening to right-track's thread, LIZ!

Well, I tried to think if I knew (on my own) of any R&B or Soul song from the 60s or 70s so that I could contribute *something* to this thread. Only one song came to mind: "Do you love me," the 1962 hit single recorded by The Contours for Motown's Gordy Records label.

The only reason I heard this song when I was younger is that it was in the movie Dirty Dancing. I like this song because it is peppy and happy. It makes me want to dance...which is kind of rare these days. I like the beat, the catchy tune, the clapping, and the decreases and then surprise increases in volume.

I also like the singer's voice that can be warm sometimes but scratchy and raw at other times. A very playful and fun song, I feel! I even don't mind that it's about infatuation (since usually I don't like love songs...especially mushy ones...but this one isn't mushy).

So, is this R&B? It isn't soul, is it? Whatever it is, I like it:

You clearly know a lot out this kinda scene Goodfoot. It'd be great to see you put a bit more into your posts in this forum.

For some reason James Carr never made it as big as some of the folks he toured with (Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett and James Brown) but man could he sing.

"Dark End Of The Street"


"A Man Needs A Woman"


"You Got My Mind Messed Up"
