Lou Pride Has Gone

A sad loss indeed. He was a wonderful, gracious and kind man.

I was honoured to be able to introduce him live on stage at Prestatyn. A memorable night indeed considering Rob Thomas and I located him to do the gig, not that he was really lost, and that it was Rob who had the first copy of his iconic 45

Here are the lyrics written in Lou's own hand

RIP

Andy

Interesting I never knew he was singing "I wrote my baby Special D." always thought it was "Specially"

I know this is a Northern Soul forum, but he recorded quality soul for over 30 years and apart posts about 'Mornin' there's only one mention of his Albatross release let alone his other stuff, shame really.

Yeah but if you've never heard it how can you say anything about it?

Yep, I have to concede on this one.

Having said that, and read all the comments in this thread, I shall certainly try and listen to more Lou Pride tracks now though.

post deleted as said will

Sorry Mike, no offense was meant.

I had the chance to see him perform live at SoulTrip 2009 in Chicago. A class act all the way!

Sadly he will be missed by all lovers of soul music truly was a class act

RIP Lou

R.I.P. Sir.....

Your fabulous voice dancing with horns on 'Your Love Is Fading' , and the raw grace that is Morn'un will ignite our dance floors for eternity. RIP Lou.

Very Sad News

HI ALL...SAD NEWS....RIP LOU PRIDE DAVE K

Very sad -(ICHITM) One of those records that just makes your hair stand on end!

So Sad, I had the privilge of seeing Lou at the Cluny in Byker. Newcastle several years ago, One of the best artists I have ever seen. His act was professional, sxciting and when he came into the crowd to sing, what can I say, I shook Lou Prides hand!! True Talent, so much more than one record, thank you Lou

Have been going through some of the Dig Deeper archive, including some video from Lou Pride's performance on July 23, 2011, at our 3rd anniversary. The ballad "You were never mine" broke our hearts at the time, and is all the more poignant now. We miss you, Lou.

Will post a few more in the next few days.
