My owd buddy Pete Lawson rip his love for Soul Music was legendary he lived breathed and dreamed soul music 24-7

he had built up a great knowledge in his crazy head before his untimely death Pete gone but never forgotten and Soul Nites / Niters

where never the same again for me without his presence :thumbsup:

Also all the guys like Rob Thomas, Andy Rix, Gilly, Ady Crosdale Ian Levine, love him or hate him Simon Soussan Neil Rushton Tim Brown n Martin Koppell John Anderson, John Manship ect ect for their trips Stateside and finding those rare 45,s & acetates ect

far to many guys to mention in that dept..and all the dj,s and punters who keep the scene alive week in week out everyone makes a contribution in some shape or form in not keeping the faith but spreading it :thumbup: For me its about the guys n girls who made this incredible music singers, session musicians song writers, producers label owners ect they are the ones who have made outstanding contributions in our lifes for our love for Soul Music

Remember but for Black American Soul Music, We would never have met so many nice people, Become friends with so many or had our lifes fulfilled by a type of music which for many of us is not just a hobby but a way of life. Dont Keep the Faith... Spread It...

Love, Peace & Happiness Always

Second mention for these, not the sort of outstanding contribution I had in mind though :lol:

Has Andy Rix had a mention? If not he should have, another bloke who'll chat to anyone, no airs and graces and soulfully a walking encyclopaedia :thumbsup:

Yes, I've got Andy down on the list, 2 votes now :thumbsup:

Understand that Mike, but without the site, no members, no easy access info, no day to day stuff, all important to me and many others

Deffo agree with you there Winnie , like you me and many others , some of the information on here is invaluable to us all , keep up the good work Mike. :thumbup:

Totally agree, I sometimes think that people sometimes don't fully appreciate what a great utility this is. Whether they are selling 45's, looking for wants, looking for somewhere to go, or just keeping up with what's going on. I know I certainly have made use of this site over the years and appreciate the hard work that goes into keeping it running and up to date, so here's to you Mike :hatsoff2:

John Anderson - :thumbsup:

Regards,

Dave

Definitely John Anderson.

The amount of records found and brought over by John that could have otherwise been lost to landfill etc.

Made available at the right time in quantity to help satisfy the demand amongst DJ s & collectors.

He provided a source for collectors like me to have a realistic chance of owning these records.

As back in those days before the Internet the chance of owning such was quite limited.
