Guest Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Has to be the IDLE FEW with that middle eight vocal section, possibly the greatest middle eight in Northern, full stop...'Every day, I've seen so many hurt, in so many ways...I have an answer, we must love one another...Not just the love of a sweetheartt we must love like a brother, I've seen the light and I know I am right...'...Very relevant in this time of Racial tension in this country and the hatred being stored up on both sides.... I also have a lot of time for what I believe to be the original version by P.J PROBY, but maybe I am wrong about that, PETE?.... Edited February 27, 2012 by rich chorley

Guest Dave Turner Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 First I've heard the Proby. Jeez, like it a lot
Guest lynnissohot Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Hi everyone i've just discoved this jem, Perhaps not my favorite of all time but the flavour of the month at the moment. Love Lynn xXx
Pete S Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Hi everyone i've just discoved this jem, Perhaps not my favorite of all time but the flavour of the month at the moment. Love Lynn xXx Lynn, this got in the charts at the time BUT I'm always finding it in collections so it must have definitely been a big record at the time, charts or not. Great track.
Linda4me Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 The Nightwatch-Lips To Your Heart-ABC Always loved this track,a bit frantic maybe. Have never seen an issue ??
Guest lynnissohot Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Hi Pete Honestly never heard it played out before, and had no idea that it even charted (i asked my Pete and he said the same that he had never heard it played) with you all the way babe, a great record chart sound, blue eyed soul or not love Lynn xXx Edited March 6, 2012 by lynnissohot
Daved Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Don Ray - Born a Loser - <2 minutes of magic. Wasn't Nancy Ames white too?
Guest manusf3a Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Dana valery and Danny Wagner by far!!!!!!!!!
Back Street Blue Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 " I was out last night and tried to see if another woman could satisfy me" ........favourite blue eyed soul got to be Shane Martin, closely followed by Paul Anka (Idle Few's ace but didn't know they were white!!)
Tezza Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Danny Wagner - I Lost A True Love (immediate thought) but now there's all this talk of The Idle Few it's made me rethink a little. Have to get back ....
Davetay Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Lynn, this got in the charts at the time BUT I'm always finding it in collections so it must have definitely been a big record at the time, charts or not. Great track. Junior Campbell's "Hellelujah Freedom" and this track where both big sounds in your normal soul type clubs back in the early 70s. P.S. The female backing singer on "H. F." was Doris Troy. P.P.S. I didn't know untill now he was in Maralade. Edited July 27, 2012 by davetay
Guest garysoul82 Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Chapter 5 You cant mean it i have to agree with you on this one ted.great atmosperic sound.
Guest garysoul82 Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 dusty springfield-whats it gonna be the veluors-im gonna change two alltime classics
Guest mickeyfish58 Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 dean parrish-bricks,broken bottles and sticks- fantastic record, and oh so underplayed
Davenpete Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Well he is isn't he? Probably missing the boat here, but apparently Sky Saxon (nutty lead singer of the Seeds - Pushin Too Hard etc) toured the Southern States doing the white RnB thing calling himself 'Little Richie' in the mid 60s (according to the California Dreaming book - which I sadly got knicked/willfully unreturned) - no definitive link of course. Dusty Springfield - Live It Up - now THERE'S a great underplayed white track! From what I remember of seeing pictures of them the Velours were hispanic rather than white - didn't they tour Britain as the Fantastics? Doesn't get any better than Stronger Than Me - always had a major soft spot for Evie Sands too. Dx PS Bricks Broken Bottle and Sticks - total load of crap - there were SIX white demos at £1.50 each in a record shop round the corner from Sid Scarborough's in in Hull in the mid 80s (I guess about 85 - I left Hull Art College in 86) - anyway we all knew they were there and thought it SUCH garbage that they couldn't sell any of them - however wish I knew then what I know now about records coz the numerous second hand record shops in Hull (about 10) were stuffed with some great US 70s soul - plus of course Paul Madden in the covered market still had a lot of his really good stuff.

MrsWoodsrules Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Paul Anka's tunes at at Wigan. When we get there, Can't help lovin you, both pretty fly for a white guy! Dean Courtney Love you just can't walk away, good white ( I think) tunage. Worse white song I ever heard at a niter, Robbie Porter That's the way love goes, truly awful. Aid.
Davenpete Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Dean Courtney Love you just can't walk away, good white ( I think) tunage. Black
MrsWoodsrules Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Black Ah.... Got that wrong then. Don't know why I always thought blue eyed. Cheers ears Aid.
Davenpete Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 There's Ian's video of him on youtube - but he also turned up at King's Hall, Blackburn - nice bloke - fabulous record of course.
