Dave Rimmer Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Quite an interesting claim that Kev makes on his Myspace page: https://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...iendid=86441985 "Created the music for the popular KFC TV Ads" I honestly thought it was the original artists and musicians who created the music. Never realised that Kev was that talented. All credit to him

They're probably not real friends but boots he bought off ebay Someone ought to warn him that he has been ripped off QoFxx PS has anyone got the name of a good solicitor I feel I may need one Edited November 20, 2006 by chrissieo

Re-Kick started the Rare Soul collectors market by selling the world's rarest Soul 45, Frank Wilson's - Do I Love You (see below) for £5,000 (1990!) Why even try to get away with it........... Russ

Brilliant Kev Funniest thing i've read for ages. Not that funny really - I know more about pop music than I do about soul music!
Guest Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Little known fact.... new music was recorded for follow up ads for K.F.C. And guess what? Kev Roberts was involved.
Cunnie Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Not that funny really - I know more about pop music than I do about soul music! Bit of a difference between David Bowie & Andy Stewart though.
Guest Stuart T Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Little known fact.... new music was recorded for follow up ads for K.F.C. And guess what? Kev Roberts was involved. Doubtless that was kept quiet while the "recently found copies" were sold off...what a wonderful career, making jingles for Kentucky Fried Rat Fat.

"Created the music for the popular KFC TV Ads." Oh, so the follow up ads were popular were they ? Funny I don't remember them
Pete S Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Bit of a difference between David Bowie & Andy Stewart though. I'll say one thing about Andy Sewart though - on that record "Donald Where's yer Troosers", half way through there's an Elvis Presley impersonation and it's far and away the best I've ever heard, if that was Andy Stewart he could have made a living from doing Elvis's voice.

The follow up's thats Kev Roberts wasn't involved in or or the errr....ads that didn't come out... ..? So the ads that Kev created the music for didn't actually get shown, so your prevvious comment was totally misleading. That's probably why it's a little known fact. Here's another little known fact for you then. I redesigned Buckingham Palace, but the Queen didn't like my design (Wasn't keen on flock wallpaper, Duke Of Edinburgh said it reminded him "Of a bloody Indian Restaurant"). So it wasn't used. Consequently I don't credited myself as 'Designer of Buckingham Palace' because I DIDN'T DO IT !

Pete S Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 It could have said "Kev was musical consultant behind the recent KFC adverts". That's accurate I think.

Dave Rimmer Posted November 21, 2006 Author Posted November 21, 2006 Interesting theory, Dave. How exactly is it misleading? By the ommission of the fact that they weren't shown. Therefore they couldn't have been 'popular' I've no problem with what Smithy says, that's accurate, but to claim he created the music is just downright rubbish. he didn't create the music at all. Here's the part it's in Kev Roberts's BlurbsAbout me: In the Entertainment industry-34 years. I became a DJ working at the famous Wigan Casino. Later producing a string of well known Soul artists such as EDWIN STARR, LINDA LEWIS, JUNIOR WALKER, MAI-TAI etc. Spent many years in Radio and currently CEO of VIP Radio(Sky Channel 0196) www.vipradio.net I wrote the book 'Northern Soul Top 500' and promote events all over the UK and USA. Created the music for the popular KFC TV Ads. TV Appearances on ITV, CH4 , CH5, and SKY. You can find out more at www.goldsoul.co.uk to find classic soul music and my own pages at www.kevroberts.com

You are correct about the episode about KR playing of Andy Stewart's " Donald Where's My Trousers ( pronounced " Troosers " ) . I remember the episode very well ; as a result of the record being recognised as a good time party record , it was picked up on and subsequently played in other areas , then nationally . The popularity - and respective scarcity - of the disc resulted in it being released again ( the first time since it's original release on Top Rank in the 1950s ) , and as a result , it got into the top ten on the strength of respective sales . Another side that Kev played , was Tina Charles' " I Love To Love ( But My Baby Just Loves To Dance ) " remixed by him under the alias of " Chuck The DJ " .....

Guest Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 (edited) Hi Rob .... Bouncer at the Windmill ..... nay lad ; that was Bill Payne's job . I just stood there and drank . As for being Sean's bodyguard ...... did he ever have a body to guard ? Photographs ..... yes . I have one of me , Sean , Bill and Andy Newbold at The Windmill in 1980 . The startling resemblence I have to Borat is truly sad . If you send me your e-mail address ( burtonmalc@yahoo.co.uk ) I will send it as an attachment to you .
