slimharpo Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I bought my copy as a new release in the 70s + it was in most 'modern' soul packs of the day so there must be loads of copies around. I've always loved it. Lead singer is Teddy Pendegrass, Barry White & Randy Brown all wrapped up in one! Oh and the 'goosebumps' chorus is a cracker. Did it get plyed much and/or does it now? I hope the link works it's my first attempt! I couldn't find a Refosoul clip of it.
Mike Lofthouse Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I'd of thought about 20 quid. Like you bought it at the time (on the strength of a Mecca play or two) - don't think it got much more action.
Swifty Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I play this a bit at home sometimes , good record IMO Swifty
Glynthornhill Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Not heard this played out for a long time. Previous rave from Rod Dearlove 's collectors lists back in the 1980 ' s... Underated pounder and not often up for sale , although I ' m sure there are plenty of copies located in collections.

Guest Nick Harrison Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 I ' m sure there are plenty of copies located in collections. Indeed - but I for one, have never been able to have a serious musical relationship with this 45. Anyone ? It's a lightweight collection shelf hanger, even after 30 years. I have spotted it on a few playlist on here over recent years, seen for sale in the deepest region of Lancashire for £30.00. But then If the Road To Happiness - by the Dynamic Beltones weights in at £30.0, so be it. Even if Teddy, Barry and Randy recorded this on Probe Detroit, then I shall keep it. But it's still a "diluted loop warm soul 45" dinning out on the sole strength of the Mecca.
Guest Darks Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Ain't it Ivy Jo Hunter singing it? I think it is a great record. Regards Alan

DON'T SIT ON THE FENCE HERE, WHY DON'T YOU TELL US WHAT REALLY THINK OF THE RECORD , ALWAYS GAVE IT A FEW SPINS MAINLY WHEN REQUESTED FOR IT, BUT SOLD IT EARLIER ON THIS YEAR. £10 - £15 IS A MORE REALISTIC PRICE FOR THIS RECORD BRI PINCH
Md Records Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Got one in sales for £7 (plus £1.50 postage in U.K.) if anyone's interested Des

I didn't think it would divide opinion this much! As I said in my post there must be loads of copies around as it was in 'soul packs' and about a tenner is right I think. I STILL LIKE IT!!
