INFO on Paul .......... https://www.soulcella...yinterview.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy7xhuTxZhM the "chills n' fever" man?, what a great club tune that was in its day....another unsung hero joins the heavenly choir.
Chas Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 "The upset"lesser played killer mid tempo track by him on Lloyd records,apparently made before "chills and fever",quite rare too.On you tube though.
Mike Lofthouse Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Thanks to Sean and the lads his 'You Make Me Tremble' from 'Hooked Hogtied And Collared' has been an anthem at 'Just Soul' at Retford these past three years - get and out and celebrate this music whilst you can. R.I.P. Paul. 1

Mike Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 It's being reported that Paul Kelly had passed away in South Carolina. Anyone know if this is true and have any details of the circumstances ? wikipedia has brief details (date only) that passed away on 2012/Aug/19 https://en.wikipedia....(U.S._musician) as that was 6 weeks ago, has there since been word elsewhere on this?
Roburt Posted October 6, 2012 Author Posted October 6, 2012 Can't find anything on the net about his passing .... AND ... ... as he had 9 US Soul 45 Chart entries, you would have thought that the US music press would have reported his passing.
Roburt Posted October 6, 2012 Author Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) A Billboard ad from 1972 ..... Edited October 6, 2012 by Roburt

Chalky Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Jeff Lemlich did say something and read bit elsewhere but seen little else.
boba Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 My friend called Willie Clarke who confirmed that Paul Kelly has passed.
Roburt Posted October 7, 2012 Author Posted October 7, 2012 Do you have any details on when & the cause ? (I know he had been ill for some time).
boba Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 I asked my friend, will post details if he responds.
boba Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 apparently willie clarke just heard yesterday. I have no idea if it was on the date of the wikipedia page or not but apparently neither does one of the producers and writers of "the upset"
Roburt Posted October 7, 2012 Author Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) "Chills & Fever" did well on the radio up in New York .... ... probably due to Atlantic distributing Dial & getting behind the 45 ... ... guess that exposure helped in Paul's later decision to relocate to the city ....
