Virgil Griffin and Rhythm Kings: "A Forgotten Lover"Despearte lyrics, tons of dead space, and jarring instrumentation, this tune should seriously come with a warning label telling depressed folks to keep away. So heavy the post office won't even ship it.

    As far as raw intensity goes, it's hard to top Timmy Shaw's "Thunder In My Heart" on BON in my opinion:

    Not the deepest but one of the heaviest (and now we can spend 5 pages arguing over the differences b/t deep and heavy):

    I got this 45 in the waxidermy xmas swap & don't think I paid much attention to this side. I'll have to remember to flip it over once & while.

    One of my all time favorite 45s. I have a box of unplayed stock copies that I can't hardly give away, why don't people care
  • breadwinnerbreadwinner 535 Posts
    Definitely nice.

    A few favorites --

    Tennessee Waltz is just I could listen to this on repeat all day.

    A couple that are maybe a little bit out of left field, but do it for me nonetheless.

    Deep stuff from 1960s Chicago, I love the lo-fi quality, the flip is faster & raw & also slays in that category too. I had stock of these on both the black & yellow labels a couple of years back & no one wanted them, I practically had to give them forcefully to people to get shot of them.


    Kind of a juxtoposition to some people's brains to get around the concept "deep" Motown but this has been a fave of mine for years, I don't know if a Fantastic Four lead ever sounded this good for me before or after this 45, but he absolutely slays it here, I like the dirty guitar & string punctuations too.

    Jimmy Tate "Please Come Back" is pretty good.
    First song I thought of was Syl Johnson.

    The Incredibles "Standing Here Crying" is one of these tunes. It's so dark, I would almost label it gothic soul.

    I love that Greg Perry track too, but I wouldn't exactly call it DEEP SOUL ( just to get all Pickwick on yr ass )

    more like a 70s sex jam
