One time lead singer of the Temptations, what a voice this man had.

The reggae versions by ken booth and bitty mclean are fabulous, but even as a reggae man, I heard, and loved this version first.

A lovely bit of laid back soul.

His voice incredible. From what ive read, he was the guy the black people in the US were listening to, when Nat king Cole was being listened to by the mainstream...
His voice range is staggering

Burn the heretic!!!

This. There isn't a cover version of a Marvin Gaye song that is a patch on the original.

Another great track to dance to. 3 minutes and 23 seconds of perfection.

David Ruffin leading the Temptations. I just love this track.

 

[Bolton va va]

it's probably best not to put Marvin Gaye's version on.

Whoops

 

[Soulman]

This. There isn't a cover version of a Marvin Gaye song that is a patch on the original.

The Slits version of Heard It Through The Grapevine is a belter. (And, as it happens, the only good record they ever made).

I now realise that he has been around for some time, but I have only recently discovered Ty Taylor from Vintage Trouble, what a singer this boy is, bringing old school back to today. Anyone else into him?
I will try and post a vid shortly.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Can't get it on the iPad but 'You Can't Let the Boy Overpower the Man in You' by The Miracles.

Doesn't get much better.

 

[Soulman]

Seen this fella a couple of times. Lead vocal on Tempted (Squeeze) Living Years and Looking Back Over My Shoulder (Mike and The Mechanics) amongst others, from Sheffield Paul Carrack. This track is called Satisfy My Soul.

can't have a Soul thread without including the incomparable Sam Cooke

 

[Soulman]

She's 70 now, i went to her farewell tour, loved all the old tunes (only 1 Pip there) but she nailed this cover. The Empress Of Soul.

If this doesn't get your feet tapping, then you must be dead.
