CONFESSIONS OF LOST DREAMZ - RAIN DROP TEARS VOL.1


Here's a project I put together by special request from SKINY at http://hiphopkillerz.blogspot.com/ . This comp is a slow and smooth, kick back and relax, soul burner. This set features artists such as GEORGE KERR, THE PERFECTIONS, BOBBY MOORE & THE RHYTHM ACES and many more. So click on the link below and visit my friend SKINY & his dynamic blog and cop this CD for the ages.




RossyBoy's In A Word Vol 10


I had to put in a lot of work now I'm back in order to keep up with the TVDreamz Team. My Homiez are really, really hot on cover arte so I had to do my bit to try to match the standard. Hope you like the new look! And as for the theme of this compilation....well, a while a go I noticed that very few tracks had One Word titles especially if you eliminate Names (especially girls' names!) and Places. So I started to keep note when I stumbled across the odd one. Then I filtered it down to these twenty. It's the usual mix - some raw Sixties classics such as the '63 version of "Rainbow" and Tommy Hunt's gut-wrencher "Human", as well as samples from two of my favourite ladies, Maxine and Irma. Throw in some nice lowrider and latin tunes (even a couple with Spanish lyrics!). Some dusty oldies that I hadn't heard for a while and a couple of Blue-Eyed Soul tracks to finish. A little plug for fellow-Scot Frankie Miller whom I met once back in the day and who has a great southern-style soul voice. Should be something for everyone (and have a look at your own collection for One Word titles - harder than you think.......)


Track listing
01 - Archie Bell & The Drells - Strategy
02 - Tierra - Together
03 - Crystals - Uptown
04 - Inez & Charlie Foxx - Tightrope
05 - Gene Chandler - Rainbow
06 - Irma Thomas - Maybe
07 - Maxine Brown - Funny
08 - Carl Sims - Taxi
09 - Peaches & Herb - Reunited
10 - Tommy Hunt - Human
11 - Arthur Conley - Hurt
12 - Ralfi Pagan - Negrona
13 - The Chantels - Maybe
14 - The Jewels - Opportunity
15 - The Jives - Love
16 - The Marvelettes - Forever
17 - The Originals - Suspicion
18 - Bonny Ferrer - Eres
19 - Frankie Miller - Jealousy
20 - Len Barry - Bullseye

Never Never Leave Me - Geraldine Hunt


Jay here, G-Man got at me. asked me to help post up a donation from MANZIG13878. Sorry this took awhile G. Glad to help anytime.


MANZIG13878 ALSO HAS A SITE ON YOUTUBE AT:

Hunt's parents are Rosie Lee Vickers and Frank Milligan. Her father was a one-man band, and her grandmother, Louella Reed was a singer on the Chitlin Circuit. In 1947 her family relocated to Chicago. While growing up on Chicago's south side Hunt discovered her musical talent. Living in that part of Chicago was not easy; recalls Geraldine. "On the weekends, we had to sleep on the floor, gangs were shooting through the house; I had been beaten up at gunpoint once, It was rough. We were living below middle class."

Despite the bleak living conditions of her childhood, there were bright spots also. A notable time in her life was her years at Hyde Park High School. Her classmate and best friend at school was the late American soul singer-songwriter Minnie Riperton. Besides Hunt and Riperton, the school also produced a girl group called Coffee who recorded the 1980 hit "Casanova".

Edwin Starr - 25 Miles- 1969

Edwin Starr was born Charles Hatcher in Nashville on Jan 21, 1942. He grew up in Cleveland but signed with Ric-Tic Records and settled in Detroit in 1965. "Agent Double-O-Soul" hit the R&B Top Ten later in 1965 and just missed the pop Top 20. He returned to the Top Ten a year later with "Stop Her On Sight (S.O.S.). Motown head Berry Gordy bought out Ric-Tic and took over its artist roster. Starr rebounded with his biggest hit in 1969's "25 Miles" which reached the Top Ten on both the pop and R&B charts. The follow-up "I'm Still A Struggling Man" wasn't as successful, but this, his second album is an embarrassment of riches - soaring lyricism mated to a pounding, emphatic beat that won't let the listener go. Released in April 1969, 25 Miles was actually comprised, in part, of single sides, some going back as far as 1967. It embraced many of the changes that started to overtake Motown Records for the better as the 1960s came to a close, and it got a lot of what it did just right. "I'm Still a Struggling Man", though it didn't do that well as a single, features one of Starr's most moving vocal performances, and in its lyric was the distant precursor to the musical/social vision that would burst forward full-force on Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" — it's still a love song, but is laced with bitter images and a social awareness that makes it all the more poignant. Aside from jewels like that, and the killer Starr original "24 Hours (To Find My Baby)", the album is also one of Starr's most rewarding vocal showcases, from the rough-hewn passion of "Backyard Lovin' Man", across the tender vulnerability of "If My Heart Could Tell the Story", to the soaring falsetto he generates on "He Who Picks a Rose"; they could all have made great singles, as could the soaring, lushly produced "Soul City (Open Your Arms to Me)". Even the updating of "You Beat Me to the Punch" gives it a whole new sound. Surprisingly, Norman Whitfield only produced a pair of cuts on this album, and the more startling of them is the gospel-flavored Barrett Strong number "Gonna Keep on Tryin' Till I Win Your Love" which is a delightful throwback to the sound of Sam Cooke; it makes a good pairing with "Pretty Little Angel", a Clarence Paul/Stevie Wonder/Mike Valvano copyright (and another lost potential single), and they flow right into "If My Heart Could Tell the Story", a big favorite of mine which I featured on my Third compilation. Starr moved to the UK in the 80's and is a firm favorite of the Northern Soul fans. The whole record is a keeper, and one of the finer under-regarded albums in the Motown library. Issued on Tamla Motown in UK and Gordy in the USA, this is the Mono version. Hope you like it !!! Let me know.........

TOO MUCH PRIDE (1968) - THE PERSIANS


The PERSIANS, hailing from Baltimore, Maryland, cut seven singles on ABC-Paramount, GWP, GWP Grapevine and Capitol Records. The members were James Ellis (first tenor), Leroy Priester (baritone), Freddie Lewis (bass), James Harlee (baritone), and William June Brown (second tenor); Louis Crawley replaced Brown in 1971. "Too Much Pride," their debut on ABC Paramount, released in the summer of 1968, is their most memorable recording. They toured the DJ circuit, doing little television shows at odd hours to promote the record. Turbans (usually the only piece of clothing they wore that matched) and hard passionate singing were the group's trademarks.
