Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 3 of my fav's are 1. Jimmy James - A Man Like Me (or will you say but he technically is not British) 2.

Roger Williams Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Kenny Thomas is a cracking shout but but think 'Thinking About Your Love' is his best! No it's not, "Him" is Kenny Thomas' best and that would be because it's the best British soul track ever made. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Theresa Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I always had a soft spot for Lynden David Hall, what a gorgeous boy he was. Save me a bar stool next to you LDH in that modern room in the sky - mine's a rum & coke. Never forget going to see Marlene Shaw at the Jazz Cafe, LDH had gone along as a punter, and she pulled him out of the audience unrehearsed to sing with her. He had no idea of the words obviously, so he just kind of ad libbed along, doing a bit of moaning and groaning-type singing. Not a dry pair of knickers in the house, lol.

"I Can Prove It" great record, still play it at home...wasn't he Welsh. re Steve Aldo...real name Eddie Bedford, ran a pub in Liverpool for years called The American Bar in Lime St, was in the original Chants. I worked with him for a couple of years in the 80,s. Last heard he was running the Student Union Bar at Liverpool Uni...that was in the 90,s so probably retired now.

We had a few good laughs with him down the years, Southport Weekender and Birmingham Hilton spring to mind. How could I forget he did a gig at Bolton Soul Club one Friday night near Christmas, and Eddie was doing the sound. And that one reminds me of a claim to fame of mine...Mr Battin in the frame again...I was personally introduced to Mr Thomas at Fleetwood Weekender...that time when...ahem...Mr Battin was appointed as his personal chaperone...and lets just say he didn't ultimately chaperone him very well...or possibly far too well...cos Mr Thomas was on site a hell of a lot longer than he should have been Anyway back to my "short and sweet" tale...it was about the only time in my life when I was lost for words...a bigshot promoter came over and interrupted (well not really as Mr T was the only one talking) and said it was time to go for Mr T as he was not insured after leaving the stage (think he did a PA or a fuller performance) and Mr T politely told him it wasn't gonna happen and it most certainly didn't Must now give some thought to the thread topic Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
