And it is The Parliaments "All Your Goodies" as the backing track, with Joni singing isn't it? Anybody know anything about Joni Wilson?

AS LONG AS I'VE GOT YOU For anyone interested in a thread on Charlene & the Soul Serenaders click Thanks Mick re that Joni Wilson thread on Soul Detective - that was actually Red Kelly taking up my original question (with my blessing) that I had posted on my blog a few years ago now! Red usually gets a lot of response to his "burning questions" but in this instance there was virtually no response at all.

Mick Sway Posted April 21, 2012 Author Posted April 21, 2012 OK so I'll try to keep this going, Anyway I came across this beautiful mid tempo Kim Weston tune recently, on which Ronnie McNair shares co-writing credits.

Mick Sway Posted April 24, 2012 Author Posted April 24, 2012 Tis a cracker Mick! one of Kim's B sides that had slipped me by until now! Thanx for sharin' it mate steve A pleasure Steve, here's the killer track from her Vault LP:
dthedrug Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 HI ALL .... As the STAX LABEL, Was the label of proper soul, when I left school in 1967 and one of my 1st records that Io got was Eddie Floyd's classic 'things get better', what a great record, I can recall being at the BOWES LYONN CENTRE in Stevenage New Town, (as featured in the film, here we go round the mulberry bush) in fact I will get around to places like Stevenage and how this London over spill new town was so influential on MOD culture, that it even get credits on the back sleeve of the WHO'S QUADRAPHINIA, many bands like the WHO KINKS SMALL FACES and all types such as GENO. JIMMY JAMES, and it's music policy was very close to the TILES CLUB & FLAMINGO, The most impressive part of going to 'BOWES' and may surprise some of you, this was just the YOUTH CLUB, one of the regular DJ Freddie Mac, who also used to DJ at the KAYSER BONDOR BLUE ROOM, in BALDOCK again being to young but my elder sister orig MOD girl, saw many top groups their including the ROLLING STONES for 5/6d, SO IT;S A MOD MOD MOD MOD WORLD, Getting back to this thread, UK STAX is a great label to collect if you like soul, and on my shelf along with all the other Cd's that never get played, I found this set of 6, titled STAX CHARTBUSTER Vol 1-6 And they have a price of 2 x £5 on the back, there is an excellent set of records on them , as I have all the UK RELEASES From the BLUE STAX, EMI STAX. AND BACK TO POLYDOR, THE CD SET IS well worth picking up Before I forget a great bloke who used to pest me for GREEN & BLUE DEMOS from MOTOWN and the RED DEMO AND THE PURPLEISH STAX DEMOS back in 1977, he must of been the 1st to have all off them at the time, this great bloke was NEV WHERRY, if you got know NEV you will no his passion for collecting UK records, I still miss the man, but never forget him NEV.er!
