| | Mel & Tim Good Guys Only Win In The Movies CD Mel & Tim Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
Mel & Tim's debut album featured both of their smashes, "Backfield in Motion" and "Good Guys Only Win in the Movies." As full-length soul records of the era go, it's a bit above average, if only because the duo wrote a high percentage of their own material. It's sweet Chicago pop/soul circa 1969-70 at its most centrist: not too slick, not terribly earthy, and not as distinctive as the Impressions or Gene Chandler, although the sound bears general similarities. The CD reissue has five extra bonus tracks from singles that were issued around the same era. ~ Richie Unterberger

Dirty Linen (6-7/00, p.67) - "...Classic funk-rock grooves....[They] have that special gospel touch as they rip into songs with enough power to shame that other super soul act of the times - Sam & Dave..."

Richard Penniman - aka Little Richard, aka the Beauty, aka the Georgia Peach (hence the title) began recording in 1951 (see Bear Family's excellent THE FORMATIVE YEARS 1951-53) but he didn't really hit his stride until his tenure at Specialty Records. While there, beginning in 1955 with "Tutti Frutti," he turned out a long string of hits - piano driven, falsetto laden, three chord rockers pounded ...
| | Mel & Tim Starting All Over Again CD (1972)
Good Guys Only Win In The Movies music CDs
$9.39
Mel & Tim were a classic Chicago soul vocal duo, recording in Muscle Shoals in the deep South for Stax and making records that fit comfortably next to those made in Philadelphia. It may sound incongruous, but their 1972 album, Starting All Over Again -- released on CD with four bonus tracks -- is a wonderful record that blends the sweet production of Philly with tight southern rhythms and Windy City harmony. And that's not even mentioning an impeccable set of songs; many written or co-written by Phillip Mitchell, along with sharp covers of soul classics like "Wrap It Up" and "I'm Your Puppet." The title track is a stone masterpiece -- an epic tale of a couple trying to repair their love -- but the rest of the album isn't far behind. In fact, it ranks as one of the finest soul albums of the early '70s. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Recorded in May 1972.

Etta James sings with controlled passion and conviction. She makes ordinary songs special; her full-throated deliveries and no-nonsense vocals create magic on stages and in recording studios. She could sing softly before rising to full rage, as she does on "All I Could Do Was Cry" (written by Billy Davis and Barry & Gwen Gordy). James' beau, Harvey Fuqua, left her and Chicago for Barry's sister Gwen, who left Billy ...
