Tony Smith Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 P.P Arnold still lives here, I think?, Sheila Ferguson!, Your definition of soul singers seems a bit questionable, Chapter 5 & M'cr Playboys soul?? Kiki Dee, Lorraine Silver, Helen Shapiro, surely this should be pop singers who have a record played on the scene? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ady Croasdell Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 George Williams of the Tymes was in Canterbury and moved back to Pa and has since died. PP's in Spain. Jimmy Thomas and all three Flirtations are Smoke dwellers and Kenny Lynch shares a flat with Jimmy Tarbuck down the Kings Road (that may not be entirely accurate!)

Dayo Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Stretching the point a bit, but given that Band of Angels Invitation is surely one of the seminal mod classics, then you'd have to include Mike D'Abo. Last I heard he lived in Gloucestershire. And what a groooooovey record!!!!!!! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
