Soul Party Meeting Minutes

[Guest]

Just want to keep you All informed and up to date !

According to O.V Wright minister for the inner cities too many people want to live on easy street. And Holidays are getting kind of serious on the economy!

According to a recent Metro's report its gonna take time but time changes things

Darrell Banks Minister for change in the pocket stated Samuel Ray Relafontes words, "People there's got to be a change!"

Lorraine said she couldn't everyone knows i cant change?

However the respected Minister Reverand Solomon Burke has assured us a change IS gonna come which was backed up by the Velour committee that they will definitely change!

So expect some strange Fraternity changes!

First for Motown Marvin Johnson of the keep Detroit Detroit movement stated the problem quite simply! "You've got to move two mountains before you can come to me!

Dee Clark suggested it's impossible in this constellation! However some Ladies of Soul said Don't make it impossible?

Upon hearing this Al Perkins of Atco Shouted Nothing is impossible and then sat back down?

Dee Edwards and Judy Freeman of the Blackrock soulsters looked at each other and stated "All we need is a miracle" . Dee Edwards said "I can deal with that at which Joe Mathews blurted out "ain't nothing you can do???"

But Smokey happened to be shopping around and took the hint then stood up and produced the Miracles who explained to us we must ALL get a job because everyone's got to pay there dues! This was seconded by some Drifters who just happened to be drifting by echoing smokeys sentiment with you've got to pay your dues, Smokey seconded that emotion.

Del-Larks knew of a job opening in Queen city but stressed they were pretty hard to find now. The Delcos knew of one in Arabia but thought Brett might have taken it?

Fantastic puzzles were puzzled by this revelation and have since written to him to Come back!

Nathan Williams asked what price he'd have to pay to move two mountains, Ann Peebles thought 99lbs but Lenny Welch thought it closer to a 100?

Mandells said it had to be All or nothing, Al Williams said "I am nothing"

(no one agreed with his dejection stating maybe in the U.S.A? but over here Al we love you! )

At which point Larry Williams said it might be Too Late but he would word Johnny and see if he could get two okehs for the price of one,

Sheltons said they would find it from Bar-bare ? who is really Barbara not Barbare but Barbara! If Barbara could be found it would all be ok, However if Barbara cannot be found in time Wendy would find it instead of Barbara?

Billie who is very little said if Barbara cant be found forget Barbara and Wendy and to just call on Billy.

Innovations suggested we stay on the case. However Bobby Day who was so lonely said he knew a pretty little girl next door! Agent 00SOUL immediately brought to our attention that girls were getting prettier everyday!

It was Southern Waters Mr Flood however that caused a Temptations ball of confusion to everyone by his comment of "Compared to what!" Little Denice who was sat next to little Billy said" check me out"!

This was all too much for Debbie Taylor who had heard Whispers on the Grapevine? Screaming out DON'T NOBODY MESS WITH MY BABY! ( Apparently Wynder K had been at it again and was swiftly shown the Green door!)

Thankfully Jackie Wilson intervened and flatly denied whispers was on the grapevine ever! Soulsters suspected Debby's outburst not to be an original issue but worthy?

The Detroit Executive decided this was an Ideal time for a Cool off! And the Poets suggested we go out to lunch and again Smokey seconded that emotion.

After lunch we were told to come on back by the Brothers of Soul.

Harold Burrage opened the session stating we've got to find a way.

Shirley Ellis dropped her rubber dolly and started clapping-

2,4,6,8,10,2,4,6,8,20,2 and synchronized the lot of us

Our Minister for Gold The Honorable Mr Roy Hamilton who had been sitting quietly pointed out that he was cracking up over us for what was proposed could take 100 years! However we could count on him! Sam Wymon who hasn't uttered a word for 40 years said we could count on him also! then he fell back to sleep again(bless him).

Agent 00SOUL reminded us of the Time but,

Roy unshaken looked at the clock with a smile and said-

I CAN GIVE YOU AN EARTHQUAKE !!!

Tony Clark who up until then had been playing Chess shouted-

I CAN GIVE YOU A LANDSLIDE!

Mighty Sam said do you mean we can MOVE IT !

Everyone became very excited none less than the Exciters themselves who pulled out some dynamite and nitro glycerine! we explained that was a hard way to go if not too extreme! Besides what do we do with the glycerine? At which point the Dells belted out Wear it on your face!!! To thunderous applause.

Robert Banks thought what was proposed was a mighty good way!

Gwen & Ray pointed out it was best to build our houses on a good foundation

( good advice)

The Epsilons who up until then had been mad at the world thought a Shrine would be appropriate!

Smokey told us if we would try something new he could build us a castle with towers so high they would reach to the moon!

Gene Chandler said I bet you never thought smokey could do that!

Lowell Fulsom kindly offered to help in the construction of the Castle Shrine just as soon as he sorts his back out.

At this point the curtains rolled back and our surprise guests was brought center stage

The most famous converter to Islam ever Mohammed Ali! Helped by Aretha Franklin and Mr Joe Frazier who admitted the thrilla in Manilla had been no First round knockout!

Especially for him!!

Aretha wasted no time in her speech on R.E.S.P.E.C.T

Ali talked to the Crowd in a soft voice that was accentuated by his Clear Bright eyes and talked about the art of Shuffling and its importance in politics and although he would take only an advisory role we would be in Excellent hands with two of Harlems best shufflers Bob & Earl !

The Atmosphere was electric as the Two Soulsters hit the Shuffle beat! To great applause!

It was at this point Lee Roye burst into Tears

Jackie couldn't contain himself anymore turned to us all and said because of you there will be Soul Galore! We can all have a Soul Time from now on and from this moment there will be nothing but BLUE skies! And the sky was blue! So blue in fact that the East Cost Connection suggested we spend summer in the parks!

Pepsi kindly agreed to send the Pepsi-Tones round with free soft drinks to all soulsters who would keep on walking to number 10

The Exciters got Excited again because they now had an idea what to do with the explosives but wouldn't tell anyone what that was? Suffice to say they loaded there rucksacks with Pepsi and left?
