Kris Holmes Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Another(?) Jimmy Mack is also listed as arranger on the flip "Charley" of the Watts 103rd St Rhythm Band's "Spreadin' Honey" 45 on Keyman.
Steve G Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Both sides cherished classics as far as I am concerned. Go on is still to have it's day, although as others have said it has been played on and off since God was a lad. The name Jimmy Mack is probably just an abbreviation for people with the name Mc or Mac. Hence rumour that he was the actor James McEachin which I read once in an Ian Levine column I think.

Steve G Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 is this the guy you mean click link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_McEachin Yes but don't think it's our man - that's the old rumour though
Tony Smith Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) Yes but don't think it's our man - that's the old rumour though Isn't this James McEachin from The Fury's and Mack IV label owner? Just read the Wiki page, that's the west coast guy. Edited November 4, 2009 by Tony Smith
Funky 4 Corners Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 A few posts back Rod said that the Dave Hall backing track on Sound was the same as Jimmy Mack - which two of the four sides are the same please?
Ian Seaman Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 "Go On" is a stunning soul record, i have tried to play it out for a few years now but is still clears the floor faster then the A side does sadly, it will have it,s day rest assured which copy is rarer , issue or demo ?? by the way ?? Ian.
Dave Moore Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 A few posts back Rod said that the Dave Hall backing track on Sound was the same as Jimmy Mack - which two of the four sides are the same please? Keith, 'Go On' by Jimmy Mack is the same backing track to "Look At Me' by Dave Hall on Sound.
Funky 4 Corners Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Thanks Dave, another to go on the list!
Guest pls1 Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Not keen on the B side sounds samy. Re. the A side not having "soul" i coudnt disagree more . The vocal is beautiful and it almost sounds like hes going to burst into tears. Still love this.
