paul secor Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I saw him 20 years ago performing in the Royal Soul Revue with Percy Sledge, Ben E. King, Lloyd price, Jerry Butler, Gene Chandler, and others - emcee was Peter Wolf. Chuck Jackson still had a great voice then and was still doing it.

MG I've just realised that it was the Motown version of 'I keep forgetting' I posted. Here's the original version, which is the one I was listening to.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Back in '67, I had a Wallace Brothers LP - Soul connection on Island I played it a few times but I can't say that it grabbed me, so it went after a few months and I never looked back A mistake?

MG Just kept this Kent CD for sentimental reason with "Lover`s Prayer" being the highligt of their Sims output ... but they were much better two years later after their Sims stint when joining Jewel and some true deep soul gems like "I Stayed Away Too Long", "My Baby`s Gone" and "I Need Someone" saw the light of day .... unfortunately only three 45`s were released and - omitting a couple of unreleased tracks issued later in Japan - the Wallace Brothers were lost in the shadows (again) ....

No magic in ANY recording studio, not RVG's, Cosimo Matassa's, Stax's, not even Roy DuNann's mail room in the Contemporary office. All recorded rubbish sometimes; other times just stuff that wasn't brilliant, other times stuff that knocks your ears off. It's the team of record company staff and musicians wot makes the difference. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 I would differ slightly, from having recorded a lot; the room can make a huge difference, sonically; I am very fussy about this, and if the room sucks sonically, nothing will make the recording sound good.

Lots of things can make a difference, including the age and condition of the individual instruments. The point I was making is that people can and do make rubbish recordings anywhere. Of course, sometimes it might be great-sounding rubbish... MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG OK .... but in my original post I was referring to the fact, that the Wallace Brothers tracks were recorded at Muscle Shoals (in 1969) and - if being familiar with sound being sourced from there - you will recognize it immediately ....
