Guest Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Just giving my bedroon a bit of a tidy and came across a flyer ( laminated,so a bit posh then) for The Queens Hall in Widnes dated 1st May 1992....A couple of questions......J.J Barnes was in the main room and Rich was in the modern room.....l never went there even though l lived the first 17 years of my life in the town l never went to Soul-Do there......l 'm sure that l could google this but where's the fun in that? lronically enough this was my dads name and he also was a professional singer but he died in 77 so it surely wasn't him.........but any info would be gratefully accepted.......Thanks a milllion!!

Chalky Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Is the spelling right Webby? I know of a Rick Webb. Other than that dunno. Don't think I've ever been to a venue in Widnes either? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 it is Rick Webb......just phoned up my mate to have a look on my bed......any info,Chalks? I've one track on my PC called "Think About It" from a Soul Sauce comp (vol 3) of Dickies. Dunno if there is anything in the sleeve notes about him, I'll have a look when I get the chance.

Chalky Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 just found this one on youtube..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ8fWpJUMIU Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Simon T Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) just found this one on youtube..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ8fWpJUMIU The record label is Washington Hit Makers and Rick Webb was the vice president of it. He released an album called Sitting On Your Doorstep which I have somewhere but never played it so I can't say what it's like. The Maxx Kidd on the label scan is Carl Maxx Kidd of the Enjoyables on Shrine fame. Edited October 5, 2010 by simon t Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mick Howard Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Webby From The Who's Who In Soul Music "Born in Virginia, Rick moved to Washington DC at the age of 15. Here he sang backing vocals with The Dominoes, later fronting The Raw Band for five years, releasing 'Don't Keep Me Waiting' on the Universal Creations label (1988). In 1989 he released a solo single 'Sitting On Your Doorstep' and worked on an album with Al Johnson and Willie Lester for the Washington Hit Makers" Mick Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
