Guest melandthensome Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I have 'along came you' on Uni Records by Karl Tarleton the old forgotton dancer that was spun at the casino. A great choon in my opinion but I am also a great admirer of the work Karl has been involved in or rather I would like to get to know a lot more about the music he has been involved in as he wrote a lot as wel. Appreciate any feedback plus if possible any scans of 45s etc cheers mello-mel Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Lady Maverick Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 If it's the same one, he composed some great songs for Jackie Wilson, Barbara Acklin and others on the Brunswick label. If I find anymore info, I will post! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Lady Maverick Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I am very passionate (and somewhat biased) about Jackie Wilson, but all his songs are top notch! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest melandthensome Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Hiya Mav I had the pleasure of seeing jackie 'live' in the mid 1970's at the casino all-nighter.Dont remember much though although I still have a tape with half of the actual night on iit. A mate of mine went to see him in the 60's at a venue but it wasnt a soul crowd as a whole in the club and that night a big fight kicked off with my mate getting slashed across his face with a knife. He didnt know at the time but told me there was blood all over him anyway after seeing off the piss heads that started it all my mate was taken back stage and jackie took him into his room and couldnt help him enough. My mate still carries that scar today but also a nice signed pic.....LOL Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
