Too many possibly to list but if I was making a top ten it would contain

Go Now by Bessie Banks

Oh no not my baby by Maxine Brown

Any Day Now by Chuck Jackson

Tracks of my tears - ooh baby baby - Miracles

People get ready - Impressions

You beat me to the punch - Mary Wells

I've got to stop there because I could go on all night - I have not included any of my favourite _ Donny Hathaway because he would come under favourite albums and thats a whole new ball game

You may have noticed that most of the above singles are from around 1963 and that for me was an important year in soul music - a year when the really big labels were just developing and the influence of top writer and producers was still being felt - Leiber/Stoller Goffin/King Bacarach/David

wow, we are really rooted in the same music...I loved Bessie Banks, Maxine Brown, Chuck Jackson - all part of what I call Uptown Soul...which was my intro the R&B!

I second your list!! I discovered Bessie Banks later in my love affair with soul music. The first "Go Now" I heard was by the Moody Blues. Of course, she blows them out of the water, but it's so painful to know that this great great song was covered and many folks never knew there was this superb original.

Chuck Jackson could sing the alphabet, and Maxine Brown's "Oh no not my baby" brings such a rush of memories, I have a headache!!!  

May I add "Hello Stranger" by Barbara Lewis, also from '63?
