Where did I go wrong? (live) Paul Carrack

[Willabe]

Hi all,

Anybody here like slow minor key soul/blues set to a latin rythmn? How about you Geezer, you seem to like blues?
Carrack's got a great voice imho. The whole band on this is great, agine imho.

Let's see what you guy's think?

Wow!  That's got a great feel to it.  Nice stuff.  Wished they had made room for a guitar lead as well as the sax stuff, though.

I agree that the man can sing. That's some of the best male vocals that I've heard in a long while.

Thanks for sharing that!

With respect, Tubenit

Tubenit,

No Thank You, All of You Guys! for sharing so much.    

Yeah, like they say "what ever  __ IT__  is,  He's Got IT".  Ya think he mighta spent some time listening to Marvin Gay and other assorted Motown ditys?  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Yeah no lead guitar, but...... it's got plenty of room to "work out" to it with say....?          hummm....  maybe a nice TOS or COS     (with verb. of course, and a little delay?)      
I can hear it playin over this song with maybe.....  a strat or Paul? Be a perfect fit!

As for Carrack, remember "How Long (has been going on?)" by Ace? Thats him singing lead, on the Rhodes, and he wrote it. How about, "Tempted
(by the fruite of another)" by Sqeeze? Yup, wrote, sang and played keys on that too.  Or how bout the band Mike & the Mechanics, "Say it Loud,Say it Clear"  he's in on that bands stuff too. He also did a couple of tours with Ringo Starr's Allstars.

Carrack's also a very good Hammond/Leslie player (imho).

I've always been an absolute fool for minor key soul/blues set to a Latin type rythmn/feel!

This song is one of those listen to/play along with for hours songs. I can realy and do get lost in a song like this. Took my wife a long time to understand and be able to live with that side of me. "Not agine! Can't we listen to a different song now?"       "Yes dear"   Thankfully she gets it (kinda), and puts up with it now.    I love's that woman! :toothy9:        

     Glad you like it,     Brad

I cut my teeth on soul, motown stuff ............   


I still listen to & love that stuff. The vocals on that kind of music was just superb to me. Not nearly enough of it around
now a days for me. 

Huey Lewis and Robert Cray still capture some of it. And Michael Bolton (gasp) does a decent cover of some of it too.

My favorite female vocalists are Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Bonnie Raitt, and Sarah Brightman. 

I'll have to get around to getting some of Paul Carrack's CD's.

With respect, Tubenit

tubenit,

OH yeah,  Aretha, Gladys, Bonnie, (I was in love with her, just ask my wife, of course that was before I met my wife ). I dont know anything about Brightman, I'll have a look see on y-tube, thanks for that one. Yeah, Hughys good, good blues harp man too, but Cray, man thats another story! Some dont like him, but I think IMO he's the real deal! Bolton, IMO he kind'a trys too hard, its like he's allways on "full tilt" all the time, so not as comforting a voice to me. I've always loved James Dewer (did I spell that right?) from Trower's band, good bass player too. It's the tone, texture of his voice and his laided back kind of pace of phrasing, never in a rush, always "layin back" in the pocket, deep, haunting vibrato too! It's a real shame about his health.    I've read a few times that because of heart attacks/strokes? he's wheel chair bound (for a long time now) cant even talk much any more. Any way..... (shakin my head)

I'll dig up some more tunes for you, when I think of something good.  

      Thanks,      Brad
