Well done mate Percy had a great friend in you! Talk soon. best wishes John & Helen

Chalky, this is always a problem when you reach a target and there's too much money.

As the money was collected specifically for Percy's family - and you say they are not at all well off anyway - I doubt if many would mind if you gave them the rest of the money.

Just my opinion.

Chalky,

You and all the others did a fantastic job. Unfortunately, this story is repeated here more than I care to admit. You all are wonderful and I'm sure the family is thankful.

Now you see why I love you all so.

And We all love you Lorraine ..Thank you .

Chalky - make sure you take some money to pay for all those transatlantic phone calls and whatever else it cost you, nobody will mind and you should do it anyway.

Agree with giving them whats left and let the family get on and do what they feel they need to do now. (Chalky pay some of your phone bill mate ).

Top people top deed done.

I will see how much it is ..but really don't really care at least we all pulled together and we all done it . Thersa as posted on my you tube video -

My Dad Percy Williams lost his battle to Cancer November 6, 2011 just shy of his 65th birthday on November 10th. He was very strong and ready to meet his Father and Savior. He didn't suffer much or he never complained of any suffering. The hardest thing in life is to loose a parent, child or grandparent.Take care of yourselves always and for all that contributed to seeing my father laid to rest I love and appreciate you always. Thanks for your many contributions, your love and your support.

Well done Chalky. You started and finished this good deed. The world needs people like you. Mick

Dancing to The Metros last night has never felt so fullfilling.

Well Done Mate!! Get your feet up and have a beer a good weekends work!!!

We will always be here Chalky for those we love and respect.....Well done buddy for starting it .....and the loyal and able to dot the I's and cross the T's.....not forgetting the willing but albeit the not so fortunate who's sincere thoughts are as equally important!

Respect..... wilxy...

Thanks to everybody that contributed to this appeal; bearing in mind the economic times we're enduring this generosity shows what ordinary people can do, to support their own.

Also, and of equal importance, this event shows how awful things can be, in the richest country in the world, if you are poor, or without work. America is an awful country, where the homeless sleep in tents, and people die for want of medical care, because it's a vast cash empire, where many people are crippled by the bills; some right-wing nuts even criticise our, as they call it, 'socialised medicine'.

With the passing of another artist, from the Rare Soul Scene , we lovers of this kind of music should always remember the prejudice African Americans faced (some of them even moved to the UK). The tracks we all love are wonderful artistry, produced in what, in many ways, is an awful country, which claims to be a beacon of freedom and democracy, but, frankly, is anything but.

Finally; I wonder of anyone's ever added up all the money paid for the records we've all bought, and that have been traded, since the start of the Rare Soul Scene; perhaps there should be a levy on these transactions, to assist the artists who produced these wonderful tracks(!)

That was a nice read until the ridiculous last sentence.

They already got paid when they made the record. Some got paid after that, some didn't. Luck of the draw, and not my responsibility, if anyone wants to pay me for work I did 30 years ago they are welcome.

Goodness I feel guilty as Ive only just read this thread!

WEll done to all who helped ease the suffering of the family.

hi all,i have only just seen this tragic sad tale,as i dont go on the site as often as i used to, frankly it brought tears to my eyes,if more funds are required i will gladly contribute- so please let me know, i am very proud of all who have helped and belong to the scene,jez the despair some poor folk have,RIP Percy,ktf pete r
