    Here it is - yeah, it's more of a knock-off of the Richard Berry song used to make a tribute to the TV show "Have Gun Will travel" that was on the air at the time ... totally awesome, though - especially that guitar solo!

    Wouldn't Richard Berry's song have been a riff on the TV show? Not the music but the name I mean.
    , I al

    probably, I always thought the show was an early 60s show and Berry's song was recorded in 59...but I see the show started in 57...

    Kelly Brothers - Crystal Blue Persuasion (Excello)

    I never thought I liked this song much but I just changed my mind.

  • Top 5 for this week would prob include:

    Contemplations - Alone w/ no Love (cause it's just that sick, and then you can rock the instrumental on the flip)
    Moroccos - Union Depot
    Masterpiece - Love Affair
    Arnold Albury (It's on the Orange Dade label, not the blue one. Forget the song name but it's killer and relatively slow)

    and 1 I just grabbed up that I'd hoped to randomly find sometime:

    Bernie Hayes - Cool Strut

    The Royal Five - Gonna Keep Lovin You
    The Supremes - Reflections
    The Shirelles - I Met Him on a Sunday
    Cora Washington - What Can I Do
    Shirley Brown - Yes Sir Brother
    Bonus: The Masqueraders - Tell Me You Love Me

    The Kelly Bros is great. Have you heard Tito Puente's version?

    Is this one the same as Rock Candy on Dontee?



    If so, that's one of my all time favs. Damn that's sh*t's so good!

    Just found the answer to my question on Youtube. Looks like they are they same. Weird, I wonder why they were released under different titles on the same label. That's a Major Bill Smith move.

    if you haven't checked out the fort worth garage documentary do so, worth it for the footage of a coked out Major Bill in the studio "producing"... Awesome.

    Teen A Go Go? Yeah, I got to catch an advanced screening somewhere downtown. Yeah, that part was great! Just barking shit through the glass.

    Listening now.

    Joe Bataan swears he was the first guy to break this when he put it on single after hearing the OG version when it was still an LP-only cut.

  • Bill Spoon - Love is on the way


    Bobby Dukes - Just To Be With You


    Belita Woods - That's When I'll Stop Loving You (maybe my fav ballad ever)


    Ann Heywood - Crook His Little Finger (sexy mid-tempo!!)


    The Esquires - Listen To Me (excellent cheapie)

    I picked up Andrea Davis aka Minnie Ripperton on Chess, "You Gave Me Soul" today (for $1 from a collection that was 99% punk singles!) and I think it immediately made the top 5 with a bullet.

    that's a cool 45 & $1 is a steal....

    Almost exactly the same groups, long story but it was released first as Contemplations then Rock Candy.......and the 45s are badass for many reasons, but one thing that the writer was proud of was the very unusual key it was performed in.

    thanks for the info. Yeah, the refrain on that tune absolutely kills me. So good!


    Hey Soulstrut, I KNOW there are more of you dudes out there who collect soul 45s and can post up a top 5 list. Takes all of 5 minutes.

    DO IT!!!!
