Cunnie Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 (edited) So here's the deal. You've just bought a rather large dining table that seats 10. Simple really, you have to invite 9 guests that are connected to the soul scene for a meal. They can be artists, dj's or friends, dead or alive. Who do you invite? Here's my 9 in no particular order. Richard Searling. Lamont Dozier. Roger Williams (like to think he shares my sense of humour). Soul Sam (but not sat next to Roger ) Aretha Franklin. Harold Melvin (close call between HM & Teddy Pendergrass). Angie Stone (to keep us all in order ) Mark Randle (the voice of reason ) My mate Errol Green (he'd never speak to me again if i didn't ask him). No Marvin Gaye , well what the hell do you think we are listening to for background music. Almost forgot, your butler is Shane H as he knows how to put everything in the right place Remember this is just a bit of fun so no stupid comments please. Mart... Edited June 17, 2006 by CUNNIE
Little-stevie Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Shane Higgins.............Membership cards would be needed Nina Simone...............A little sing song round the piano.. Marvin Gaye...............You always need some after dinner mints to get the joint jumpin Dusty Springfield........Would love to chat about her walkout from gig in South Africa Dave Godin................Would ask Dave to drop the northern and just say rare soul scene.. John Weston.............Every party needs one of these..Could Nina understand him Ray Pollard..............To thank him for bringing the Drifter into my life.. Jerry Butler..............One of my all time greats..He could chill out the moody woman above Keith Money............Great extra dj for when John slides under the table... That sounds like a great dinner party to me....Plenty dope....Deep soul karaoke from some of my all time greats..To first class djs double decking...And then Shane the yorkshireman taking John Weston's empty bottles back and making a few hundred quid on the side...It all ends with Kenny turning up as the taxi driver and white knuckle ride home for the brothers and sisters ..
soulfulsaint Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 George Clinton for eccentricity and old Detroit. Freddie Butler - Sorry Shane you'll have to take the night off. Nelson George - great writer and has a wide soul knowledge John Anderson of Soul Bowl for rare soul gossip. Ty Karim - just to read the menu out in that husky voice Joe Frazier - in case there's trouble leaving the restuarant Louvain Demps of the Andantes whose met more '60s greats than anyone else. Shorty Long - you always need a joker. Sister Dawn from Lincoln - Never met her but need another soulie in awe of the guests.
Chris L Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Just one guest - Christine Cooper - wearing that sailors outfit.........

I think my guests would have to be John Legend Marvin Gaye Jools Holland Jean Carne Mary J Blige Chaka Chan Tammy Tyrrel Trevor Nelson And of course my MRS who else can cook soul food like her
