ITT white boys with soul
Me but I’m too scared to post my music here
>>129916087I love Elvis' cover of this song
It is crazy how underrated Del Shannon actually is, such an amazing voice and some truly fun as fuck/sad songs.RIP.
>>129916087It's going to sound like a cliché, but that song is actually a certified barrio classic
>>129916087James Chance
>>129916087Reminder that Del Shannon was one of the first people to ever commit suicide after taking SSRIs. It was entirely because of Prozac, his wife said there were no signs and she even got a settlement after she sued.

why is "plays black music" the benchmark for whether a white boy has soul?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgPgavmY99U

>>129921536It's the only kind of soul americans know
HATS OFF TO LAAAAAARRYYYYYYHE BROKE YOUR HEAAAAAAAAART
>>129916141Your name is anonymous. POST IT!!!!
>>129916087Anyone listen to his psychedelic album? Probably one of the few early rock and roll legends to do the genre justice
>>129923616It’s be extremely easy to decipher which member of the band I am lol
>>129923641>which member of the band I am lolMmmmm, you are famous or something? Yeah, that makes sense. I am long past that possibility. Don't you have another outlet for your solo stuff? Mmmm. That is tough. With cancel culture I'd be afraid to even post here. I love making shit post songs because I can just do anything regardless if I know what I'm doing or not. I hope you find an outlet. Here is my anonymous, shit post, one man band:https://www.bitchute.com/channel/Pt1xj2Q7Jmeq

>>129923738Yah I’m from LA so the entire local music scene is inherently leftist or at least full of people living in fear and pretending their hardest to appear leftist, and even though my immediate friends aren’t screaming blue haired cancel-hungry freaks they are definitely left leaning so my frequenting of this website would certainly raise some eyebrows and I’m really just not trying to draw that kind of attention to myself. I actually feel bad for a lot of people here because I know deep down a lot of people have good hearts, but the mob mentality can really scare you from getting out of line. Our society is pretty fucked in that regard. I’m also not some big Trumper redneck guy so it’s not like I even wish that I lived in Alabama or somewhere, I love being from California, I just wish we could all be more normal. I have the beliefs of like a normal dude from 20-30 years ago. Anyways, blogpost over. God bless.
Half the band (who were also writers) at Stax were white. The band at Mussel Shoals was white. There were guys in the Motown who were white. Larry Londin didn't get credit for his playing. White "soul" and r&b contributions got an early form of cancel culture because muh racism.

>>129923962you probably have the beliefs of most people outsite of your social bubble lol
>>129923619He and the Everlys had some good late 60s material but record labels and DJs had moved on and didn't care about them anymore.
>>129924160even Pat Boone (lol) had a folk rock album that's surprisingly not awful. but yes, pre-Beatles acts were mostly headed the way of the dinosaur by then.

>>129924184Even the Beach Boys were being snubbed by Capitol and the radio by then.
>>129923962Trust me, I understand.
>>129923968even fools know motown is white and jewish though. any blackoid with a hint of political awareness says as much
>>129916087He fudged his age as well, the label claimed he was born in 39 when it was really 35.
>>129923962cope and seethe chud.
Atlantic Records was founded by a Jewish guy and a Turk.
>>129923576>it's a Steely Dan track with Michael McDonald backing vocals>it's a Christopher Cross track with Michael McDonald backing vocals
>>129923962cancel culture is a Newsmax boogeyman it doesn't really exist
>>129924191>Do Jews count as white?Ask /pol/.There have been and are stereotypical jews in the music biz.... crooks, thieves, etc.And then there are amazing musicians and writers who are wonderful people. No different from any other 'racial' or ethnic' group. Is there jewish soul music? I think Niel Diamond was pretty soulful in a lot of his songs.
Jerry Wexler said nobody got into R&B in the 50s with the intent of getting rich, it was for the love of the art form. A #1 disc sold about 100,000 copies on average.
>>129924264>cancel culture is a Newsmax boogeyman it doesn't really existI have seen it in county government in a flyover state. Get out of your mother's basement and go experience life
eh for every jo schmo getting cancelled you get some woman calling someone a nigger getting crowd fundedit doesn't exist above a certain tax bracket but it absolutely happens on both sides
>>129924248>>129924264I know you guys are trolling but someone would have to be very ignorant to think there isn’t an obvious left wing bias in major cities. I think it’s fine to have some liberal viewpoints, but leftism has taken a very destructive turn. A lot of the people spearheading it aren’t in it for the good of mankind, but more so to tear down countries and come out more successful from the ashes.
he and Gary US Bonds got an 80s revival from their fanboys
>>129916087This song always annoyed me for some reason.
>>129924387sure there is, but that happens on the other end in hickville too. Nice people to their "own", but it's not long before they let their guard down and tell you what they think about the blacks and the gays etc.
>>129924459because youre a fucking loser
>>129924583thanks for the tip, Reddit
>>129921565right there
>>129924419>Gary US Bonds got an 80s revivalHe had a great band. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y4MK_vYRcWQ
>>129924333There used to be clubs where you could play 5-6 nights a week. You could make a living by gigging. If you had a hit you could charge more. Ir you could go work in a factory making screws, tires, toasters, Buicks, or furniture. Playing music is a bit more of an adventure.
>>129916087He had 13 other charting hits after Runaway but nobody has ever heard them.
King of white soulI think the last guy with soul was Chris Isaak maybe?
>>129924967The Everly Brothers, Brian Hyland, and Bobby Darin also had many more chart hits than the 1-2 songs everyone knows. OTOH all of Roy Orbison's hits are well-known/played even if "Oh Pretty Woman" stands a little over the rest.
>>129924217>the Beach Boyson a side note, i just want to say wild honey fucking sucks and is the worst white boy soul/r&b album i've ever heard. darling is the saving grace and that's more pop than anythingi've said my piece
>>129924967Lies, my local oldies station played several of his songs
>>129926592literally no one was still listening to them by the Wild Honey/20/20 era
>>129924680no probs, chud
>>129926166Chris Cornell had soul.
>>129923641understandable have a nice day
>>129923962>so my frequenting of this website would certainly raise some eyebrows and I’m really just not trying to draw that kind of attention to myself.

She doesnt take the place seriously though and thats ok nobody should, its anonymous it is to have fun. i think more famous people than we think have lurked /mu/ or still lurk, I'm certain Joel (DeadMau5) still does as well. I'm pretty sure he lurks my /keys/ and /prod/ threads when I make them.Also there is legit useful information here in /prod/, /keys/, /gg/, etc.
>>129924583Sure, extremes touch. if that is your argument I agree. Sadly America ain't coming back from the extremes politics have evolved into them and are set because new generations define them and I dont see gen X or Millenials or Zoomers or Alphas maturing mentally. This culture war as fiery as it is I think is here to remain. I don't care about what you support I'm just making you aware we are in an era of Extremes. I hope you aint one of them, for your and the public's sake. If you are just stay in your lane. Just chill its not the end of the world if your ideology "loses" or is "losing". Things will remain largely the same. Which is comfy.
>>129921086>there were no signslolwut, he openly talked about how his career being dogshit and labeled a one-hit wonder did his mental state in.
>>129919979yes this 80's concert is really great. very good musician and showmanhttps://youtu.be/6u4DW9jNoQY?si=pIXLUw5cZHTHCGf4
>>129926592>worst white boy soul/r&b album i've ever heardthat's because it isn't one. it just has some influences because that's what the beach boys listened to at the time, it's more of a lo-fi record than anything else
THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERShttps://youtu.be/Kkx51ymDpV8?si=n7DnFW8TC3UmVG8chttps://youtu.be/TuzgO_8DJA8?si=Xv4Ufx17TsqlD9Be
>>129921536Because white people only invented ways to mass murder. Don't confuse "industrialise" with "create"
>>129923962>so my frequenting of this website would certainly raise some eyebrowsWhy????>>129923641Is it a musical role? Or are you like Gabba, the dancing guy from Happy Mondays?
