Roy Arlington - Everybody Makes A Mistake Sometimes Safice-337 '61

This Eddie Floyd penned great ballad has also been released by Otis Redding (Volt '66) and Mitty Collier (Chess '67).
All these versions are great and it's hard to choose which one is the best. I played all 3 before posting and I can't decide even though I'm an Otis man. They all got something special.

I'll post all 3 versions for you to make up your mind yourself. Let me know your findings.

I'm wondering: Are there more deep soul versions out there ????

Buddy Miles - Down By The River

I just read that Buddy Miles passed away.

The song was an enormous hit back in Suriname. It was number 1 for a very long time. The best memories I have regarding this song was during my school vacation in september 1971, peddling down the Suriname river in a korjaal ( see picture below) to visit an old plantation called Rorac, and stay for a few days . My best friends family owned the place, right in the middle of nowhere.

Imagine two 17 years old teenagers crossing a tropical river in this korjaal and a battery-radio somewhere in the front, with the volume on max and Buddy Miles singing "Down By The River".

The Vonns - Leave Us Alone King 5793b '63

This great ballad can be found on the Ace CD Queens of King, the Cd is loaded with great deep ballads, so if you like this one, get it.

The booklet has lots of great info.

The Vonns – Leave Us Alone

Combo Juveniles ft Godwin Gramms - Never Leave Me Lonely_Uncle '74

I'm not sure but judging from the name I think this is a group from one of the French Antilles. Godwin Gramms is well known in the Caribbeans for one 45 with the ballads "Ivette My Love" and "Myrtha My Darling".
I could not find any information on both the group or the singer.

The original label of the song is also unknown to me, but to answer the demand the song was printed on the Suriname "Uncle" label in The Netherlands.
