Mellorful Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I was too young for WC, but I wondered if Pat Powdrill - Do it, was a big play in the day? 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Just out of interest, can anybody put a date to when this was played? One of the biggest records of 1975 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Its a good record, but as with 1,000's more it just needs a spark from dancers and who knows. Leonard Jewell Smith is not the Leonard on this track. They are a New York pairing. LJS is from LA. Yep, Len Jewell was a west coast artist and more or less spent his whole career there, although coincidentally the Leonard from Duke & Leonard is also named Leonard Smith. The Duke is Jimmie McKenzie. Great looking label and an excellent 45 that would go places today. Edited November 24, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

MrsWoodsrules Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 One of the biggest records of 1975 Great record, didn't realise went back that far Pete. Bit too fast for the dance floor these days, but certainly is a quintessential Northern Soul track. In fact, my mate has a Downey minter sat in his box 'doing nowt' that's gonna be on my radar next time I see him. This record has everything IMO.

Cheap as chips but a stunner................ The Edwin Starr record is great, was actually a fairly big record for a month or so in 76, remember it being on the first tape I ever recorded at Wigan. Strange how they used to do that, play things for a month then drop for no reason (e.g. Marvin Gaye - Bitter Pill To SWallow) 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Cmon David, put titles above them, I am always dying to see what you have posted and by time I get home there are another 33465 "monsters" since your posts and I forget. And more relevant who remembers Tish in later years from Wigan, sheepskin coat, guardian of the bogs and various other places. He seemed a real monster to us kids! I suspect he was probably a toy town hard man in relative terms but for us young things he seemed the real thing. Not really into music, more the experience. Always freindly with Freddy from Lancaster who was into the music, when he wasn't being dodgy around the bogs! Another thread maybe! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
