bubinga5 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) i love this guys musicality ..i love his voice. like i do Micheal Mcdonald, . his sound/style and playing reminds me of him... ive not heard any Warm Dust, but i know alot of ACE's records. he always seem like the sort of musician that was behind the music. love his live version of this. one of my favourite ever records. the reason i mentioned Pino is because not a lot of people know Paul, so i suckered you Pino lovers into listen this guys music. Muuwhaaa.! ok you know him already. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYRmQRtS3cw[/media] His and the bands version of Marvin Gaye's Whats Goin on is really great.

John Cellario Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Great choice..is this Mike and The Mechanics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaFunk Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Ace were a great band. I saw them many times in pubs in the 70s but i've just had to play Marvin Gaye's original which is my favourite album of all time. No one can get near to Marvin's version. His voice is just amazing.

BetaFunk Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 It's a decent version of 'What's Going On' but it's like whenever i hear anyone singing 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' on a TV talent show i immediately have to play the Diana Ross version to get the other one out of my head.

Nice vids. Edited November 9, 2013 by lowdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Excellent and terrifically well played / sung version of What's Going On. My favourite is Donny Hathaways' on the Live Album but regardless, Paul Carrack has a hell of a voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johngh Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 In the "What's going on" clip it looked like my old mate Chris Garfield on guitar. I know he played in Pauls band for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm far too polite to name names but you're right, it wouldn't hurt any youngsters to listen to Paul Carrack. He's a great singer and always seems to be enjoying himself. A testament to how good he is/was that i often saw Ace for free on the London pub scene in the 70s and when they stated getting popular i still went to see then although they were then charging 50p entry.
