RIP Lou, another good one lost.

I interviewed him at Prestatyn & asked what inspired "I'm Com'un Home In The Morn'un".

He said it came about after a call home to his then girlfriend; she was missing him so he told her what she wanted to hear (the song title) .......... he got off the phone & wrote the lyrics out almost straight away.

So I asked the obvious .... So did you head home in the morning ??

He broke down in fits of laughter and told us that he never went home to her at all.

Can only echo the above sentiments. Had a great time when Mick, Andy and myself went to dinner with Lou and don Gardner. Had a great time with him at the 100 Club about ten years ago as well. Smashing bloke and nothing too much trouble for him.

Rest in peace Lou.

I echo that, one of the greatest records ever made, as a 15 year old buying that I thought I had the Holy Grail despite it only being a £5 emidisc, I almost wore it out, loved it for 37 years now, I also met Lou at Prestatyn, just imagine, walking past the guy who made that record and going "Alright Lou?" and him saying "How ya doin".... that was LOU PRIDE who just spoke to me! RIP Lou.

"i received a call from my woman telling me...."

Very sad news indeed. I'm Coming Home was the first song outside the obvious northern hits that really snared me - in many ways it changed my life. Thank you Lou and RIP.

Really sad news

I remember suggesting Lou Pride as an artist for Prestatyn and Rob Thomas did the rest

He was a true gentleman and had time for everyone

He was really pleased with the welcome and love shown by his British Fans

RIP Lou

I had the distinction of meeting Lou in the loo at the 100 Club prior to his performance there one night way back when. We didn't shake hands...

Another one bites the dust. :(

Who'd have thought that a record I bought for £4 in Louth one winter Thursday night in the mid 70's would go on to become one of the most loved Northern anthems of all time.

RIP Lou.

now, many times when news about another sad loss appeared on here I said to myself "oh no, not him/her (already)" often being deeply saddened by the loss of an artist who has given me so much...but this time I am especially shocked, touched and sad. what a great voice he had, what monumental status his recordings had, haveand will continue to have. Last year I was in contact with Lou and his management trying to bring him over for our yearly New Years Eve Weekender. But sadly time was too short to finalize what would have been another dream of my life becoming reality..having brought him over to perform in Berlin. And now it is too late...

RIP Lou Pride.

Yep, I'll always be grateful to Bob from Louth for turning up with the then unknown copy of "I'm Com'un Home In The Morn'un" which I almost didn't buy 'cos the title looked country and western..........

....but then I heard the record over the cans and changed my mind right sharp! :lol:

Met him in Chicago a few years ago. Discussed his outing on Albatross which he remembered instantly.

Very good recall for facts.

Lovely man and sadly missed.

(Don't we say this too often nowadays)
