I know that Brits are down with R&B. At least, the more fortunate are. So, what are the best, baddest singles you can name? Can you top Tramp by Lowell Fulsom? Trouble Man by Marvin Gaye? I doubt it but you are invited to try . .

Yo, Filterlab. Who was that Italian male torch singer you recommended once upon a time?

Filterlab- I think so. Maybe French or singing in French. My reply at the time was that this music was romantic beyond your tender years and was in response to a post I made about "All My Tomorrows" by Carol Kidd on Linn Records.

Can't think for the life of me mate, I'll review some posts and see if I can dig it up.

Betty Lavette: Let Me Down easy
Dells: Stay In My Corner
Radiants: Voice Your Choice
Barbara McNair: Your Gonna Love My Baby
and not forgetting..
Frank Wilson: Do I love You (Indeed I do)

You don't seem to me to have a problem, ol man. To me it's what I heard on Texas radio in the 50's. There wasn't any youth music then. There was popular culture or there was black music. Every working musician to come out of Texas has some of this in his bones. And judging from the earliest British rock recordings known to me, seems our cousins over there were listening to a little of this, too. That's some pretty good stuff there, Stevie. I think you can consider yourself down. I don't know about these other guys so far tho, think they might be pussies.

Yeah the whole UK "Mod /R&B scene was kicked off with the white beat boys getting to grips with the USA originals.
Tis a known factoid that Mick & Keith used to buy their fix direct from Chess.. This sort of stuff mostly wasn't issued in the UK, and it shows what taste the boys had and the lengths they went to to get it..
