  1. I loved SOFTLY WHISPERING I LOVE
    YOU the first time I heard it.
    Very angelic and almost spiritual.
    Harsh singer that gives it depth.
    Never heard this song again after
    it's brief climb up the charts.
    Sounded great on KHJ. But then what
    didn't sound great in the KHJ
    ambiance. Even in the early 70s when
    KHJ had lost it's grip.

  2. this One also had a similar reaction when he first heard the 1969 recording of "Black Pearl" by Sonny Charles & The Checkmates...
    'angelic and almost spiritual', exhilirating at times with the backing chorus providing that
    heavenly lift. a classic in my book and remains one of my all-time gospel-soul favourites.

  3. And Spector was behind BLACK PEARL.
    Imagine that......
    BP was River Deep enhanced.
    Guess he put in elements that shoulda
    been in River Deep.
    Nonetheless, RD, stands as a great
    great production.
