Yes, another genre thread. Haters will be happy to know I may run out soon.
William Bell - "You Don't Miss Your Water" (1961) -- The original version of a song later done by many country acts, including Gram Parsons (on the Byrds' Sweetheart Of The Rodeo)
Garnett Mimms -- "Cry Baby"
Little Richard - "I Don't Know What You've Got, But It's Got Me" -- Mr. Lipstick tries to cash in on the soul boom
Toussaint McCall - "Nothing Takes The Place Of You" -- As you might guess from the first name, he was from LA (Monroe)
James Carr - "Pouring Water On A Drowning Man"
Ann Peebles - "I Can't Stand The Rain"
Nat Hall - "A Broken Hearted Clown" -- Now THIS is an obscure record. I only know about it b/c a guy on a music message board posted that he had uploaded it to YouTube.

A nice and depressing William Bell song:
"Everybody Loves A Winner (But When You Lose, You Lose Alone)"

Writer-producer Jerry Ragovoy (1930-2011):
I could have included him in the Brill Building thread, but he seems to fit better here
Howard Tate - "Get It While You Can"
Erma Franklin - "Piece Of My Heart" (Aretha's sister)
Some may know these songs via covers by Janis Joplin (she also did Ragovoy's "Cry Baby" -- see OP)
Irma Thomas - "Time Is On My Side"
Lorraine Ellison - "Stay With Me"

Larry Williams and Johnny Watson - "Mercy Mercy Mercy" (1967)
Some may know this song from the hit version by The Buckinghams. I don't know which version was released first.
The song had been an instrumental hit for Cannonball Adderly the year before.

Surprised this thread never got more traffic -- no soul fans on here?
Bessie Banks - "Go Now" -- original version
Brenda Holloway - 'You've Made Me So Very Happy" -- original version
Don Covay - "Mercy Mercy" -- note how much his voice sounds like Mick Jagger
The Parliaments - "I Wanna Testify"
David Ruffin - "My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me)" -- great solo single from the Temptations lead singer

Kafka, since you appear to be a somewhat serious student of music, let me pose this question to you. How do you think Marvin Gaye stacks up against some of his contemporaries like David & Jimmy Ruffin, Levi Stubbs, Smokey Robinson, etc. My personal opinion is that he is a little below their level yet he seems to get more play and attention than they do. What say you ?

I know this is a sports site that insists on rankings and champions ("All real Americans love a winner, and will not tolerate a loser"), but I try to avoid it on things like music and movies.
I like Marvin Gaye -- I would classify him more on the "sweet" side of R&B rather than the "bluesy" side, like most of the Motown singers.
The grittier soul singers generally recorded in the South. IMHO one of the best was the underappreciated Wilson Pickett -- I really like his phrasing; he never seems to make a wrong decision. If you must have a ranking and a controversial opinion, I certainly prefer Pickett to Otis Redding, who I've always found somewhat overrated.

What; no Percy Sledge yet, or do people consider him more Swamp Pop/R&B?
Some of the best belly rubbin music ever!
Percy Sledge: When a Man Loves a Woman (Full Album)
Percy Sledge Compilation (Full Album)

This record didn't sell well, but got such a reputation among soul fans that soon after it came out collectors were paying $50 (an absolutely mind-boggling sum at the time for a recent release) for bootleg copies
