I finally *finally* found one of the songs I have long searched for. This is one I began listening to in late high school or college & listened to for, literally, years. The studio version is darker, or there is a reprise version, not sure which. Ahhhh. Brian Auger & The Trinity's Pavane http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W47sukTM8E Now if I can just figure out one other song title & artist. It would have been popular about 1964, with a female vocalist with a deep rich voice, and included the words 'Walk softly, my ___, don't blah blah blah, ... ' <G> We'd know more what that sounded like if we could only hear the song in my head.  SignatureDonnaB "Something happens to me when I witness someone's courage. They may not know I'm watching and I might not let them know. But something happens to me that will last me for a lifetime.

This is > one I began listening to in late high school or college & listened to for, [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > We'd know more what that sounded like if we could only hear the song in my > head. Was it a song that charted in '64? UK or US? Pop, Rock, or Country? Mary Wells has a "deep rich voice" in some of her songs but sang nothing that I am aware of with those lyrics. In '64 there was also Nina Simone, Marianne Faithful, Aretha Franklin with deep voices. There was even the gender confused Amanda Lear back in those days. S/he has a husky voice. Cilla Black, Donna Lynn, Martha & the Vandellas, Kathy Kirby, Betty Everett, The Ronettes, Dionne Warwick, Dusty Springfield, The Dixie Cups, Millie Small, The Supremes, Bobbie Gentry, The Velvelettes, Sandie Shaw, Maxine Brown, Barbra Streisand, The Marvelettes, The Shangri-Las, Petula Clark, all charted in '64. Any of them ring a bell? David - (Eskimo Joe) >> I finally *finally* found one of the songs I have long searched for.

She did chart in '64, (Fever) sort of the end of her career, and it was more in Australia than international. After 1963 she seemed to die until she reinvented herself as a jazz singer. There are probably another dozen or so girl singers who charted in '64 - mostly Pop, people like Lulu, Leslie Gore, Dusty Springfield, Diane Renay, etc., but they don't have deep voices. I still can't work out who Donna might be thinking of. (and I like to think that I am pretty good with sixties and seventies music.) I own a copy of every song that ever charted from 1954 to 1984 with less than two dozen exceptions - a rather long time (35 year) hobby. I was born for MP3/4s ;) Walk Softly on this Heart of Mine" might have fitted, but not with a female singer and not in '64. Perhaps it was another year, if so that raises other possibilities.

She's new to me. Our radio stars in the '50s were a mix - British, Australian and American. Many of the songs you heard in the States were re-made by local singers. I think there was some copyright arrangement to support the locals. Helen Shapiro was British and was very big here for a couple of years just prior to the Beatles taking off; she was part of the "trad" jazz scene with players like Acker Bilk. "Walking back to Happiness" was probably her biggest hit here; her voice sounded, on the radio, quite similar to some American male stars: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyZb9eDfFSI and this is a Beatles appearance you won't have seen before, back when she was the bigger star in the UK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzhaW9KpPVc&mode=related&search= Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia. d&e, metformin 1500mg, ezetrol 10mg Everything in Moderation - Except Laughter. -- http://loraltraveloz.blogspot.com/ latest: Kuranda Skyrail near Cairns http://loraldiabetes.blogspot.com/ latest: Ki Si Ming In alt.support.diabetes on Thu, 28 Jun 2007 18:14:20 +1000 in Msg.# <11sg60.57h.17.1@news.alt.net>, "Help!

See, here's the thing. We lived in Memphis then, and, frankly, we listened to a lot of local/regional music. The Gentrys were one of the few of them to go national. I'm not sure if this was regional or national. Of course we listened to a fair share of UK, too, as well as US. It should have been classified Rock, but might have been classified Pop, I suppose. Not R&B, not Country, or as I believe it was still called then Country & Western. <G> > Mary Wells has a "deep rich voice" in some of her songs but sang nothing > that I am aware of with those lyrics.

I thought of all of them except Amanda Lear, Donna Lynn, Kathy Kirby, Betty Everett, Millie Small, The Velvelettes, Sandie Shaw, Maxine Brown. Mainly because I haven't heard of many of them!! <G> I am looking for their sounds on YouTube. I also thought of Shirley Bassey. In my head it sounds most like Cilla Black, or Dusty, or a Cilla wannabe. And, no, of course, I'm not even actually sure it is 1964. But, I am sure it is pre-1966. A major impediment for me is that all of a sudden Firefox crashes on me when I open www.allmusicguide.com and it's such a great source for looking.

Different days, when a kid making peanuts could still afford to go to concerts like that; similarly it was cheap to see the Stones and Roy Orbison on a double bill at the Palais. In those days they made their money from the records and the concerts were cheap. >> I also thought of Shirley Bassey. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> A major impediment for me is that all of a sudden Firefox crashes on me when >> I open www.allmusicguide.com and it's such a great source for looking.

She has a full voice - I used to like "Baby Don't Change Your Mind" "Misty Blue" and "Come back and Finish..." and similar, but she was really a seventies star although she did start in the early sixties. Don't think that she ever had a release including "walk softly..." in the lyrics. David - (Eskimo Joe) "Help!

Ok, yes, my mistake, I wasn't precise enough. :) With "walk softly... " the "... (the ellipsis)" indicates the rest of the quoted lyrics under discussion. Usually used when you don't want to type the thing in full. I am referring to the lyrics in thread, Gladys and many others have just the walk softly part, but not "Walk softly, my ___, don't" as given by Donna. With Gladys Knight it was "Walk softly when you walk by me", not even close. BTW, I am sure that you actually knew what an ellipsis indicates but were just being a little pedantic.

It may well have been something purely local and didn't chart out of area. Even searching a half dozen lyric databases has nothing close. David - (Eskimo Joe) |
