Citizen P Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 I know time and chemical erasure have blurred the memory somewhat, but does anyone else remember Thelma Houston's version being played at old Wigwam?? Whenever I mention it ,nobody remembers. Presumably it was an lp only track, but what lp and how hard is it . Ta Tony
Guest Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 Tony, First broke by Ian Levine at the Mecca. A very in demand track these days and hard to find. Although the Jnr Walker was the Northern hit, Thelma's is THE ONE THESE DAYS.
Citizen P Posted November 15, 2004 Author Posted November 15, 2004 Ta for that. Presume it's a Motown track? LP , single or both ?? Tony
Ric-tic Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Ta for that. Presume it's a Motown track? LP , single or both ?? Tony link ITS FROM THE 1972 MOWEST ALBUM SIMPLY CALLED THELMA HOUSTON PRE WIGAN THIS RECORD WAS PLAYED 'EVERYWHERE'
Jerry Hipkiss Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Usually I'd go for Thelma , but on Saturday night somebody played Junior's version nice and loud - talk about smokin' sax! Pity he could never sing, mind... Jerry.
Mark B Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Usually I'd go for Thelma , but on Saturday night somebody played Junior's version nice and loud - talk about smokin' sax! Pity he could never sing, mind... Jerry. isnt there another really nice track on the uk or european release that is not on the us release of the album. prefer juniors version remember thelmas from the mecca. mark
Guest Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 on Saturday night somebody played Junior's version nice and loud - talk about smokin' sax! Pity he could never sing, mind... What does it take? Gotta hold on to this feeling Take me girl I'm ready Classics...

Top drawer crossover dancer, which knocks everything else on the LP into shade. Jordi
Guest Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Don't forget Gloria Jones later version - she wrote it !
Tomangoes Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Just flogged the Gloria Jones single to a Marc Bolan (RIP) fan. Question. Has anyone ever played the 'RIGHT ON BROTHERS AND SISTERS' JW track? If not, they should as its a great slightly slowed down equal of IAGK. Ed
Dayo Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 In my memory both Jr. Walker AND Thelma were played at Wigan. Must have been '74.
Headsy Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 not sure about 74 , think 76 ? maybe a certain ex casino jock on here can confirm.
Headsy Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 excuse me , trying to hit 150 posts, JNRs version I was talking about
Paul R Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 (edited) Definately 74 and both off the album as Jr Walker had not yet been released on 7" Played off the album Peace & Understanding. Thelma got the first plays though. Edited November 17, 2004 by Paul r
Citizen P Posted November 17, 2004 Author Posted November 17, 2004 I would concur with that ,now my memory has brown 'n' cleared up tony
