bobby byrd, i know you got soul, great slab of funk, he was on the james brown soul revue, great talent, could slow it down as well, but funk was his detraitraision.

You've obviously got a lot of knowledge about this stuff you want to share, i think you should start a members journal where you could post about your songs in depth or something, i'd read it anyway!

the music i obviously enjoy is soul/funk, but i don't really see myself as a font of knowledge, i know a little bit, i just enjoy listening, and sharing some of the sounds i think other like minded people might enjoy

Sonny and the Premiers - 'What It Is' (Chipam Records) CM-100B

One of my faves:

Sonny and the Premiers - 'What It Is' (Chipam Records) CM-100B The B Side of a fairly average cover of the Sam Cooke track 'you send me'.

Not sure of the year as the 45 doesn't really even show up anywhere. I estimate from reading about SATP that they date back from the early sixties (starting off as a bit of a doo wop outfit) Any steer on the group's history would be appreciated.

Picked up speculatively but doesn't seem to get much/any air or club play. Just love the driving drums - especially in the break in the middle.

I'm afraid i don't have a file to upload however i can make one if required. Will have to get my post count up to be able to upload.

No problem. (link in the bold title in N_S's original post)
Definitely worth a listen.
Thanks for this mate. Not heard it before and straight away those drums set the pace.
Great interplay between the boy/girl vocalists.
Choppy guitar and busy bass lines.
Top drawer stuff.

Just finally got around to reading this R-T, it's been sitting on my subscribed list for a long time now. Some really great stuff here, I didn't like all of it but up to Tammi Terrel it was really consistent with a type of soul I had never heard before but thoroughly enjoyed. Wrote down a lot of names and will be downloading and burning CD's for driving in the car... my favorite time to listen to soul. Thanks again for the mood lift, and keep this thread going god damnit!

Thanks for the feedback Schizotypic.
So you didn't like Martha Reeves, Sam Dees and Hank Jacobs then?

No, no, I'm pretty sure most of those I loved. I was just saying that before Tammi everything I listened to I liked, and after I only liked like 80%. And also that I'm not completely in love with Tammi.

Jean Shy has several Soul Single releases in the 1960's with Chess, Brunswick, Honey and Fantasy Records. Some of which were in local or regional charts, but never make it into the main charts. Definitely worth listening to. Great Artist. Many Radio Shows in the UK have her old releases in their playlists.
