Sterke ladder dit waarbij de beste nummers wat mij betreft afkomstig zijn van de twee finalisten van de reguliere soulladder. Daarachter zit het allemaal dicht bij elkaar. Ik kan altijd erg genieten van Clarence Carter dus die krijgt hier van mij het voordeel van de twijfel. Sly & The Family Stone (hoewel uit '69) associeer ik meer met het 70's soulgeluid.

De laatste ladder van ronde 2:

Ronde 2 - Ladder 25 - Puntenverdeling: 7/5/4/3/1

Sam & Dave - When Something Is Wrong With My Baby
Eddie Floyd - Big Bird
Sam Baker - Sugarman
Ray Charles - Georgia On My Mind
L.C. Cooke - Put Me Down Easy
Joe Tex - Buying A Book

Deadline - ~20.00u

Ronde 2 - Ladder 25 - Puntenverdeling: 7/5/4/3/1

4 Sam & Dave - When Something Is Wrong With My Baby
1 Eddie Floyd - Big Bird
7 Sam Baker - Sugarman
3 Ray Charles - Georgia On My Mind
L.C. Cooke - Put Me Down Easy
5 Joe Tex - Buying A Book

Deadline - ~20.00u

Sam Baker en Joe Tex zijn in deze ladder mijn duidelijke favorieten. De ene een absolute deep soul parel, de ander een echte southern soul klassieker. Precies mijn twee favoriete sub-genres, helemaal goed! Bij beide is het de tekst die het nummer (voor mij) echt speciaal maakt al is de sax in Sugarman ook wel heel fijn. Daarachter een mooie song van Sam & Dave. De onderste drie doen me iets minder. Georgia On My Mind is wel sterk maar het soulgehalte valt nogal tegen.

Sam Baker - Sugarman

Well, tonight I found her
On the sorry side of town
Lying cold upon the bed
Where she had laid her body down
I picked up the needle
That had fallen from her hand
And I stuck it through the money
She had made for Sugar man

Kippenvel, iedere keer weer.

Ik heb even tijd nodig om de volgende ronde op te zetten.

..

Tot die tijd kunnen we aan de slag met onderstaande K.O.

KO Ladder 25 - geef +2 en +1 - twee nummers door!
Sam & Dave - When Something Is Wrong With My Baby
Sam Baker - Sugarman
Ray Charles - Georgia On My Mind

Bijzonder dat alles zo precies op een gelijk aantal punten uitkomt.

Een k.o. is in principe niet eens nodig want als je gewoon kijkt naar bovenstaande puntenverdeling dan zie je dat Sam & Dave aan het kortste eind zullen trekken. Maar goed, ik trap wel af. Hoe lang blijft ie staan?

1 Sam & Dave - When Something Is Wrong With My Baby
2 Sam Baker - Sugarman
Ray Charles - Georgia On My Mind

Georgia On My Mind is een prima nummer maar er zit net zo veel/weinig soul in als in bijvoorbeeld Sinnerman.

1 Sam & Dave - When Something Is Wrong With My Baby
4 Sam Baker - Sugarman+2
1 Ray Charles - Georgia On My Mind+1

1 Sam & Dave - When Something Is Wrong With My Baby
