Good result, but I can't believe it was that close.

Always good to have some mathematical knowledge on the case.

The strings on the Kilgore record are just as *right* to me as the
strings are on There Goes My Baby" for example. They fit and they
sound right. It's all a matter of opinion I suppose but I never met
anyone else over here who specifically found them "too much" on this

The later Pearlean Gray version is sans strings and while a decent
version in itself is nowhere near the Kilgore vocal for soulfulness
and intensity.

Are you familiar with her other stuff? IMO nothing else comes near
"The Love Of My Man" but she had a few other interesting things like
her answer record to Sam Cooke's "Chain Gang" and her version of the
Goffin-King song "It's Gonna Be Alright" which has long been a
favorite on the Northern Soul scene over here.
Incidentally we should mention the splendid gospel number that "The
Love Of My Man" is based on--"The Love Of God" by The Soul Stirrers
from 1958. Johnnie Taylor on lead years before we heard him on "Who's
Making Love","Disco Lady" etc etc

Good example. "There Goes My Baby" is a very good record to me (a 7).

But without the violins and with a better, more traditional R&B
arrangement it would likely be a 9.

it. Suppose "Earth Angel" or "Gloria" had those same strings?

Don't know those, and I'll seek them out. I do have a very good Theola
side called "I'll Keep Trying." The lady could certainly sing.

Found them (like IGBA, but "Chain Gang" not so much), and also a pretty
good side that was also unknown to me, a song called "My Prayer"--not
the Platters' song.
