Recommend me some simmering soul tracks like "Thin Line Between Love and Hate" and "Walk on By"

O.V. Wright-"Drowning On Dry Land" "A Nickel and A Nail"

Another obscure one: "How Much Can A Man Take" by Big John Hamilton, though maybe that's more Otis Redding/Deep South than you're looking for.

Plenty of stuff on the Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures comps of course, e.g. Roy Hamilton's "The Dark End Of The Street" (don't know how that compares to the James Carr version listed upthread).

More readily available: Donny Hathaway's immaculate "The Ghetto".

Forgotten how good that whole record (Super Dude) is...... like a male version of 'Caught Up'

Doris Duke - To The Other Woman

"I'll Cry 1,000 Tears" by Eddie Holman. Must get this.

"It Ain't No Fun" and "Woman to Woman" by Shirley Brown. Plus the "Woman to Woman" answer record "From His Woman to You" by Barbara Mason.

I just received permission from a member of The Dells Family to post this information. Marvin Junior is very ill & is not expected to be with us for very much longer. Chuck Barksdale is also ill & is not doing very well.

RIP Marvin Junior, lead singer of the Dells. He still sounded stunning when I saw him with the Dells in 2005

I think the Dells deserve their own thread, but on the other hand there are probably not enough folks here who would post on such a thread. I don't have the record geek knowledge to school anyone on their discography but "Stay in my Corner" and "The Love We had (Stays on My Mind)" are just so powerful. When I saw 'em in 2005 live their vocals and harmonies were still so strong and precise. The lead vocals were spine-tingling on those cuts. Really.
