"Salty Tears" By Thelma Jones

[lordjohn683]

I think this was a 'B' side in the UK.Great song, great memories.

[74142kokopelli]

Completely overlooked in the US. What a shame! This woman had a voice that pierced your heart and made your soul bleed love.

[tonymc163]

I use to have this on vynal,Played it repeatedly Great tune, Can be a little depressing though

[winpoohbear]

I totally agree with you Imakebeats65, I had never heard this song until

felix started playing it. It's on this saturday Felix special guest is Black Ivory at the dance.

[Imakebeats65]

your right Felix is the only one that rocks this on the radio...and he only get s a few hours which is wack..Gotta hit those dance parties..

[TooDarnSoulful]

1976/77 this was in the uk charts , very under estimated artist, powerful voice 

[robbosace]

probably one of the most underestimated love songs ,,,sung the way it was written ,,pure gold

[craywands]

So beautiful. This little gem should be heard more often; it can be found on a very nice soul compilation CD called 'The Sisters of Soul' released 2004 on the Sanctuary label in the UK. Catalogue no, CMQCD903. Should still be available secondhand.

1976 - Liverpool, UK. Last club slowie.

Many salty tears shed listening to this.

Brilliant song.

[stevescissors]

Her voice is GREAT! Thelma's vocals reminds me a bit of Donna Summer and Glayds Knight. This is such a beautiful song. Thanks for sharing such a GEM.

this song brings back a sad memory . I bought this album on the day that my grandfather died

[EdgardosGirl81204]

Love this version but my favorite rendition is the Fifth Dimension's version on their Soul & Inspiration lp and features Florence Larue Gordon on lead and some great group harmony in the background-check it out

[N2YJP]

does anyone know what kind of instument that is that sounds like a spring? you don't hear it too often.

[N2YJP]

I first heard this song when we were stationed in oahu, Hawaii in 1977 and fall in love with it.

[SlateDis]

I was in Jr. High when this song came out and I so remembered this song was played on the radio in Hawaii, too!

[arundelthomas]

I cant figure why when you enter salty tears on google or you tube it doesn't register. So unless you know hear name your lost so finnally thnx>suprised to see Teddy Randazzo wrote it. he penned all little anthony's hits

[jose2002valencia]

[zzfreddy]

fantastic searched for years

[onebtt]

First heard this track back in 81 when my cousin used to play it over & over. For the past 10 years I've searched & recently bought a copy from a friend back in the UK. This track is so unbeleivable

[DISCOANONYMOUS]

I bought an album in NYC in the early 80s called "LOST SOUL" and it had this track from Thelma Jones. My wife loves this tune...Another awesome post

[robbosace]

found thelma a lot of years ago and this just sounds so good, man this must be the best soul song ever,i love this, it makes me think of the love i have for my wife........
