Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Not a lot of people know this, but Derek was half of the Top Notes, who did the original version of "Twist And Shout" in 1961. The other half of the 'group' was none other than Howard Guyton! TONE Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tony Smith Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 And don't forget "Breakaway" on Roulette, magic uptempo dancer!! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 The flipside to "Breakaway", entitled "Take Me Like I Am", is probably my fave with him. Superb deep soul track. Apart from that, both sides of his "Daddy Rollin' Stone" 45 are hard to beat. But he released a whole stack of good records so let's just embrace them all.

It was published by In The Basement a few issues ago. Derek still performs in Europe working out of Switzerland where he lives. He was supposed to be performing in Paris soon.
