Bigsoulman Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Sad news indeed Ian, I had the privilege of seeing The Action around 1968 up here and just recently got a hold of the bands reunion gig at the 100 Club, where I thought he was struggling with the vocals and that was 10 years ago, very sad, top mod band they were RIP Reg Lenny Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

groovywoovy Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Has this now been confirmed as thought (or rather hoped) it was just rumour at this stage? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Simsy Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 Has this now been confirmed as thought (or rather hoped) it was just rumour at this stage? I thought similar from Rob Bailey this morning. Then received the message below from Carl Stopforth from the FB group The Action 'Kings of Kentish Town' The reason why this group exists? The Action weren't just good, they where very good! Lets reflect on the music they made and the wonderful voice of Reg King, one of the many reasons why The Action still mean so much to so many people. R.I.P Reg King!

Soulboy69 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Really sad news, was only listening to them last week. Superb vocalist and their covers of soul tracks were sublime. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

R.I.P Reggie. yeah - it seems to be true, I can't believe it - I have been a fan since I was 14 - he was the best blue eyed mod ! Gutted ! He really did have the best white voice in this country in the 60s - he was so unlucky not to have found real fame !
