Another old fave Clyde McPhatter - Please Guve Me One More Chance. I think this also carried over to Staffird with the likes of Main Change -Sunshine and Johnny Honeycutt - Coming On Over and another from that era Court Davis the old Herbie Williams c/up The Lover Who Loves You Not...Tunes that aren't or rarely played nowadays....

Not sure where you get prog from? A better swamp pop record than a soul one, maybe :thumbsup:

 

Saw Tony Joe White live last year - he looks a sounds like a man who's lived a dozen very full lives and he's still got a ferocious guitar style - great stuff!

I was quite suprised a couple of years ago when a Wigan 1974 "live" CD was doing the rounds. It was the one with Footsee, The Zoo, Tainted Love etc, all very well known tracks except one I didnt really remember, and to me, stuck out like a good sore thumb. The track was Kenny Ballard, I'm Losing You. Not brilliant, but better than many of the other tracks.

That was played by Russ at the time of the 1979 Mod Revival.  Great record, but Northern??

The Professionals - That's why I love you ( Groove City ) ??

Joe Tex, Better Believe It.

This was massive for a short while.

 

 

Always loved this track and whenever I hear it (which is rarely, sadly) is one of those tracks that instantly puts me back at Station Rd.

 

A full floor dancing AND clapping to this was truly fantastic.

 

And I wonder how many Jocks were caught out by that ending?.. :lol:

and this

 

 

loved this early 70s but as a medic in army 1982 working at Aldershot seeing guys coming home from Falkland islands with horrific injuries added a new perspective to all those anti war songs and would make you depressed

 

Soul If it aint about love or deprevation it aint  soul.

read that on a record sleeve somewhere
