Today's #FortnightFridayMusic theme is #Indecision. It took me a while to decide which song to pick (there were lots of good candidates!), but I finally ended up with this soul classic:

TYRONE DAVIS - CAN I CHANGE MY MIND

YouTube

A recent Mastodon discussion reminded of this recording which I decided to pick for #MondayCovers this week:

Good Evening Manchester: Turn Back the Hands of Time (1988)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACicus0bH1o

The song itself is a soul classic originally recorded by Tyrone Davis in 1970. In 1988, Good Evening Manchester, a pop/rock band from the Åland Islands, recorded the song for their debut album, "Learning To Sing". Although they worked in a different genre, the group members were soul fans, and the lyrics on this album contain references to artists like Gladys Knight, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Bobby Womack and Z.Z.Hill.

Various Artists, Heavy Soul, 1972 on Atlantic

Great compilation of early seventies soul on Atlantic, including luminaries like Aretha Franklin, Sam & Dave, and King Curtis but also some lesser known folks (at least for me), including Dionne Warwick’s sister Dee Dee Warwick (as Dede) and The Beginning of the End – something of a one-hit wonder with “Funky Nassau. “

Love the gatefold image showing just how heavy the soul is. From the days before playlists and music discovery via streaming it was compilations like this that let year hear folks you didn’t already know.

Tracklist:

  • King Floyd – Groove Me
  • Brook Benton – Shoes
  • Little Sister – Somebody’s Watching You
  • Jackie Moore – Precious Precious
  • Wilson Pickett – Don’t Let The Green Grass Fool You
  • Garland Green – Plain and Simple Girl
  • Tyrone Davis – Could I Forget You
  • King Floyd – Baby Let Me Kiss You
  • Aretha Franklin – Bridge Over Troubled Water
  • Wilson Pickett – Don’t Knock My Love – Part 1
  • The Beginning of the End – Funky Nassau – Part 1
  • Dede Warwicke – Suspicious Minds
  • Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway – You’ve Got a Friend
  • Barbara Lynn – (Until Then) I’ll Suffer
  • The Persuaders – Thin Line Between Love & Hate
  • Clarence Carter – Slipped, Tripped, and Fell in Love
  • Aretha Franklin – Spanish Harlem
  • King Curtis – Changes – Part II
  • Sam & Dave – Don’t Pull Your Love
  • Betty Wright – Clean Up Woman
