Carl Hall - What About You?

[nacalatedcoolie]

.....A year on an this is still simply the best song I have ever heard. In my search for an equivalent this year, trailing through The Beatles, Stevie Wonder..right through to the Cardigans, Bowie back to Bing Crosby, Bob Marley too.......Frank Sinatra and Carole King.

This song that you are listening to stands alone. This song is remarkable.

insanely good tune, what am I gonna do? listen to the end and hope that hey baby by anthony white (next o0n my faves) will be enough to get over this awesorm-ness

[dusty1390]

this is amazing! didn't think anybody rememberd this but me. very rare and hard to find.

[charrmmee]

i luv this guy's version of 'you don't know nothin'

[andyth55]

Wonderful, wonderful. The way it just builds and builds.

Classic soul!

[nacalatedcoolie]

This is the best song I have ever heard.

musical perfection.

lyrical supremacy.

Fantastic.

[chall2k5]

so now im a singer eh~!!!!!!

[TONIO2K8]

Just wonderful....love real soul...Thanks!

[gusandspud]

Jerry Ragovoy producedsome great music. Much rawer than Phil Spector. This mans material is so hard to find. Why?

Try Garnett Miimms if you like soul as well. Another man with a terrific voice but avoid the new cd,

I thought that as it was gospel it would be terrific. How wrong I was. He needs Jerry Ragovoy, as the songs just stink

[Tchalla77]

The best soul song ever recorded...period! Wonder what would have developed if producer Jerry Ragevoy had endeavoured to record an albums worth of material with this criminally under recorded vocal talent. Now there's a thought to savour! Would be fascinating to get the real lowdown on both this and Lou Courtney's classic Ragavoy produced 'I'm In Need of Love' set, which incidentally feature's Carl on backing vocals.

been lookin for this ...what a great sound this is tks :))) ktf

[drwhatson]

One of the great underrated Soul voices of all time - a kind of "male" Linda Jones", with vocals so soulful they HURT. Incredible talent. (If anyone reading this knows the guy, tell him I said so!) :-)

[recordman64]

Very underrated artist...according to a radio interview I heard with Howard Tate, he, Carl and Lou Courtney came over to CBS in a package deal that Jerry Ragovoy set up.

Thanks so much kamyueloh - I am going to search for that cd especially as it has heywood cash definitely worth routing for

[soulpresident]

can't find the right words...it's genius...so soulful! Wow...

[nikkichips71]

This is mindblowing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!kinda reminds me of Marvins 'Whats going on' but with a lot more kick - well done for posting it- wish i could get my hands on this gem!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gerisoul]

very hard-to-find song...after many researches, I finally found it on a cd: Jerry Ragovoy: Time Story. Wonderful compilation by the way.

[nikkichips71]

Thanks Gerisoul- I am on a mission to get this cd - this track is the epitome of soul! I first heard this track on Richard Searling's Soul Sauce many many many moons ago and taped it on a C45(and have since guarded with my life) !!!!! it has always hit that raw nerve - well done again for posting this gem!!!!

[Blackpool77]

Searling didnt like to be reminded that this was played at Blackpool Mecca by Colin Curtis : hence the infamous incident at Parkers in 91 when a few of the old Mecca boys put him right over this !!!!

[kamyueloh]

very hard to get on 45 - available on a sony release 33 - soul souvenirs volume 2 - a great compilation including heywood cash you're messing up a good thing. need i say more.

[soulpresident]
