Margie Singleton - Never Let Go

[Anais nin Carms]

This sound had an immediate impact on me ..but do you like me think the lady singing it is in her twilight years , after hearing it a few times I get this image of us all sitting in Parker Knolls swinging from side to side when she sings the bit ...now here we go

I would love to hear this by a younger artists , and no disrespect to who is singing it I bet in her prime she was awesome but I keep seeing a Gracie Fields type character singing this song ?

Has the speeding up attempt been made to make the voice sound younger ?

Whats your view ?

Never played it speeded up but will do tonight when I get home :-)

[Goldsoul]

Whatever it is...a great melody, perfectly executed and Wigan-esque!

Should be much bigger.

If it's the one I'm thinking of Margie Singleton was a cover-up name I gave it years ago.

[Arthur Fenn]

Thats one of the tracks we talked about at Va Va Voom a couple of yrs ago Ady, one of the best me thinks, you told me who it really is also

[Arthur Fenn]

Don't think it needs any more speed tho! not for my old legs anyway

[whereismy record]

So if not  Margie Singleton who is it and I agree with Arthur no need for any speeding up.

[Ady Croasdell]

Is someone playing it?

Well worth more than occasional play in my book. Mighty fine record.

I agree with you Carms, it's actually by a fine soul singer but there's something a bit square about it

[Md Records]

Was it on an "original" acetate, or is it from a master tape?

[Ady Croasdell]

Master tape passed on without permission 

[Arthur Fenn]

Absolutely Arthur, no probs with you and Chalky, it was the original suppliers wasn't wild about!

[Sammy]

Oh, so this was unissued? Brilliant track. I've been dying to know what it was for years...

Ady, was there a name on the master tape or did you just make it up as it was an unknown artist & title?

[Ady Croasdell]

There was a name but I think whoever passed the music on made up Margie Singleton.
