John L Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 If Jimmy Smith isn't enough for one week... I loved Tyrone Davis' voice. His influence on soul singing is a lot stronger than a lot of people realize. I still hear new singers with Tyrone trademark licks. He made a LOT of great songs, most really uplifting stuff in the great classic soul tradition: Can I Change My Mind? Turn Back the Hands of Time The Turning Point A Woman Needs to Be Loved I Wish it Was Me One-Way Ticket Let Me Back In There it Is. You Keep Me Holding On He was still at the top of his game too. Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Tyrone was King of the Beggers. One of the true greats. R.I.P., Tyrone, and if you can turn back the hands of time for a few more years, please do it. The ranks are getting too damn thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Damn. I was going to dedicate the entire first set of our gig tonight to Jimmy Smith (playing at the casino with my R&B band). In the second set, we'll have to pull out our Tyrone Davis.
