YouTube videos for Spector soul songs that I’ve mentioned in the previous pages are not repeated in my discography.
There are many more songs in my discography than I’ve posted that you can hear on YouTube. I recommend that you listen to those songs by entering their titles on YouTube.
To streamline the length of the web pages in my discography, I’ve only provided the titles and singers of the songs. I haven’t included the full credits for the songs, such as the names of the labels, songwriters, arrangers, and producers.
My discography is organized by themes.
I’ve separated the large number of Spector soul songs about the pain of love into several sub-themes. There’s a definition for each theme or sub-theme at the top its web page.
In addition to the title for each theme or sub-theme, there’s a title of representative song (such as Happiness of Love – Run to My Lovin’ Arms).
The definitions are also provided below.
Pain of Love: 1 – The Magic Is Gone
The singer’s anguish either comes from trying to deal with the end of the love affair or from fearing that the lover will leave. The singer may still be able to address the lover.
Pain of Love: 2 – I’m Nobody’s Baby Now
The singer’s anguish comes from having lost the lover. The singer is not able to address the lover, who is gone.
Pain of Love: 3 – A – He Will Break Your Heart
The singer’s anguish comes from being in love, but there is a crisis in the relationship.
The singer loves somebody, but there is a problem with that person.
There are five different situations.
1) The person is involved with someone else.
2) The person does not love the singer as much as the singer loves that person.
3) The singer is unsure whether the person really loves the singer.
4) The person does not love the singer.
5) The person “cannot” love the singer because they are from different races.
Pain of Love: 3 – B – Hurting Each Other
The singer’s anguish comes from being in love, but there is a crisis in the relationship.
There are two different situations.
1) The singer loves somebody, but that person either mistreats the singer or is otherwise no good for the singer.
2) Somebody loves the singer, but the singer either currently mistreats that person or has previously mistreated that person.
Pain of Love: 3 – C – Yours Until Tomorrow
The singer’s anguish comes from being in love, but there is a crisis in the relationship.
There are three different situations.
1) The singer is committed to somebody other than the person that the singer really loves.
2) The singer now loves somebody other than the person that the singer used to love.
3) The singer doesn’t love somebody and is willing to hurt that person by leaving rather than deceiving the person.
Pain of Love: 4 – Misc. – Like Your Love
The singer expresses anguish but either the anguish is not about the pain of love or, if it is about the pain of love, the stories differ from the other types.
Happiness of Love – Run to My Lovin’ Arms
In most of these songs, the singer expresses “normal” affirmations of happiness.In others, however, the singer’s happiness is expressed in unusual ways: as a commitment to nothing more than one-night stands (“Baby I’m So Glad It’s Raining”), as an allegory of drug addiction (“The Habit Of Lovin’ You Baby”), as masochism if not madness (“Everything Under The Sun”), as the end of the singer’s own anguish (“A Good Love,” and “I Can Make It With You”), or as the way to end the anguish that the person the singer loves has suffered (“Turn To Me”).
General Misc. – Things Are Changing
The following songs are miscellaneous because their themes are neither about the pain nor the happiness of love.
