1. OK you amaze me

I said to myself..hmmm...wonder if he'll have Black Pearl or Hey Girl...and wham...they were there!

[NightTrain]

2. Yeah, I am pretty amazing, aren't I?

;)

3. Hey! I know some of those songs.

:D

Probably more than a hundred of 'em, and maybe 80 that if they came on the radio I could say who it was. Based on those, you have a lot of really great tunes to fill your days with. Lucky guy naw, I'm sure it's years of listening, and searching it took to build that library.

4. Damn! I'll have to try harder.

:evilgrin:

5. Whoa! Amazing, indeed!

My favorites, and more! Many I've never even heard of, and I'm a soul/R&B/classic Motown junkie if there ever was one.

Thanks for posting this!

6. You're my new hero

just because you remembered Bill Deal and the Rhondels.

8. Unfortunately, we lost Bill Deal in 2003.

He was only 59. :cry:

9. Damn.

Sorry to hear it. RIP, Bill.

Do you remember a single by them called "What Kind Of Girl Is This"? I seem to remember it coming out at the end of that great stretch of "May I", "What Kind Of Fool", and "I've Been Hurt". I can't find it on any searches of their songs. Am I misremembering it?

10. Hmm....

> Do you remember a single by them called "What Kind Of Girl Is
> This"?

Does the song go:

What kind of girl is this?
She's never, ever been kissed.
Rub-a-dee, rub-dub-dub.
She's never, ever been in love.
She's never been in the moonlight,
Under the stars above.

If so, its title is "Respectable." The Isley Brothers did it in 1959, followed by the Outsiders in '66. If Bill Deal did his own version, I've never heard it.

14. I think that's it.

Figured you'd know it! Thanks.

7. I like . . .

. . . your including the dates and the Billboard rankings (not that rankings really matter to me -- IMO, the more obscure a song, the more interesting!).

[NightTrain]

11. Tonight, I linked to my individual pages for the remainder of the artists.

Just in case y'all are interested!

12. No Chambers Brothers? Whats up with that?

:shrug:

[NightTrain]

13. Their best '60s recordings were rock tunes, not soul.

If I ever get around to listing my favorite soul records of the '70s, I almost certainly will include some Chambers Brothers tracks!
