boba Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Love Billy Stewart. My favourite is "I'm No Romeo". jan bradley wrote that song
boba Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 how has no one mentioned "strange feeling" and "sitting in the park" yet?
Harrogatesoul Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 how has no one mentioned "strange feeling" and "sitting in the park" yet? As a yound mod in the 80s Billy was one of the first 'go to' artists amongst myself and a few friends. Remember eagerly awating copies of 'Sitting In The Park' & 'Summertime' to arrive from PJ Ludlams cheapie list to come through. What a sad sad end to a young & brilliant talent. Is there much or any? unissued material on Billy available?
Simsy Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Does anyone know if all of the Secret Love demos are one sided?
Steve Edgar Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 As a yound mod in the 80s Billy was one of the first 'go to' artists amongst myself and a few friends. Remember eagerly awating copies of 'Sitting In The Park' & 'Summertime' to arrive from PJ Ludlams cheapie list to come through. What a sad sad end to a young & brilliant talent. Is there much or any? unissued material on Billy available? Off topic here... Pete Ludlam's lists, remember them well, you used to get some real good cheapo bargains off pete, if you trawled through his fifty or so paged lists, ending up with purple fingers from the ink coz he printed 'em on an old "bander" hand cranked duplicator!!! often wondered if he still does them lists...starting at 20p each or 6 for a quid! ...Anyway back on Topic... Adore the late great Billy Stewarts work...so unique. His last 45 (I think) put out just a few months before he was so tragically killed when he drove his car into a Nth Carolina river in Jan 1970 was his rendition of "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" here's the 45 edit, but the album cut is better coz its longer. also here's a Canadian label scan.... steve
charliew Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 What an artist just truly subline and makes every song his own, one of my faves by him is his version of paul robinsons OL, MAN RIVER quality
Steve Edgar Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 What an artist just truly subline and makes every song his own, one of my faves by him is his version of paul robinsons OL, MAN RIVER quality With ya on that Charlie mate,someone on ere was dissing Billy's "Teaches Old Standard New Tricks" LP but for me the great man just took a classic and put his inimitable stamp on it! (ps. looking forward to the catch up at Wkey! steve

45cellar Posted February 1, 2020 Author Posted February 1, 2020 Always good to be reminded of records from an artists recording career. Thanks for posting. It's all about the Artist each week and for us to enjoy their work.
Guest Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Great video about Billy. Billy Stewart Story Pt 1 On Soul Facts Show Billy Stewart Story Pt 2
Alan T Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 This was first done by Billys uncle Calvin, Billy covered it in 1964. Where all the copies went is a mystery, it's a very rare record to find. 1
Soulstrutter Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Don't think this has been posted yet (apologies if it has) How Nice It Is from 1965: 1
Soulstrutter Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) ... and can't believe no one has posted his storming version of Summertime: After first 40 secs you get (blurry) live footage. Edited February 1, 2020 by Soulstrutter 1
45cellar Posted February 1, 2020 Author Posted February 1, 2020 Good call. Summertime was possibly the first Billy Stewart record I heard. On 10/07/2011 at 01:15, 45cellar said: Big shout for the tremendous "B Side" - "TO LOVE, TO LOVE" 1
Soulstrutter Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) A great double-sider from 1969 I'm In Love (Oh, Yes I Am) / Crazy 'Bout You Baby Don't be fooled by long intro on I'm In Love as it kicks in after 50 secs P.S. covered in 1974 by Little Melvin & The Boleros on flip to Jealous Lover here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NndBkImtCpA Edited February 1, 2020 by Soulstrutter 2

Soulstrutter Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) What about this lesser known(?) one ... LP only from One More Time 1988 (double LP) presumably previously unreleased at the time Golly Golly Gee (but don't let the 'twee' title put you off it's a fab crossover track Edited February 1, 2020 by Soulstrutter 1
Guest Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Another great track Billy Stewart - Fat Boy's Boogaloo
Guest Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 What a Choooooooon Billy Stewart - You've Got Such Good Loving
Soulstrutter Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 I went through a big Billy Stewart phase 20 odd years ago and bought everything I found by him ... many whilst working in Utrecht which had some good records shops on the canal ... dead cheap and many on Dutch only pic sleeves! I don't think many of his records are worth big money but I don't buy records for their value but for their quality. 1
6T's Mojoman Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 What No Exodus! for me his is the definitive version from Teaches Old Standards LP
Soulstrutter Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) 18 hours ago, 6T's Mojoman said: What No Exodus! for me his is the definitive version from Teaches Old Standards LP OK here ya go! remember this being done as an instrumental by Biddu Orch 1976! ... and what about 'Temptation' also from same LP (and French EP only) not be be confused with Temptation's 'Bout To Get Me. Edited February 2, 2020 by Soulstrutter
The Yank Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Billy's 1st Chess was reviewed by Billboard and was said to be "a dangerous disk". The guitar riff was re-used later on Mickey and Sylvia's Classic "Love Is Strange" - Edited February 2, 2020 by The Yank
