At the time this particular song was recorded at was only fifteen years old. The group which consisted of myself and my two best friends Debra and D.J. recorded two other songs "Wise Up Girl" and "Groovin' with my thing". I thank you for bringing back so many wonderful memories for me. Again thanks for the memories!!!! It also had her email address which I've deleted 'Someone to treat me' is also a class record which went down well when i played it....... 5

Popular Post Cunnie Posted December 9, 2017 Popular Post Posted December 9, 2017 A couple more from Lou Rawls that have been criminally overlooked IMO. 5
Popular Post Patto Posted December 9, 2017 Popular Post Posted December 9, 2017 I was put on to this one a few years back by Martyn Bird,and the first person i actually heard play it out was Sheffields Chris Brooke.Got myself a copy soon after and cant understand why it didnt become a big sound back in the day 5
Eddiefoster Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 This one for me - I know it's had its moments but can't believe it's not an automatic big room anthem including right now! https://youtu.be/g_6Z0W1x1cg 3
Richard Posted December 9, 2017 Author Posted December 9, 2017 Turns out Time Will Take Care Of Everything also got a Dutch release with a picture cover

I remember Robbie Vincent at the time getting behind "You can't go home no more", but I've never heard it played out. Maybe that it was on Blue Note meant that it didn't get picked up so much in soul circles. Lou's remake of "Family reunion" would sound great played out, all classic Philly strings and things, really unusual quality for 1987. 1

The Bluenote album that it is on is pretty awful too apart from this track. It did get a 7" release too but only in Australia on the Capitol label but it must be pretty scarce as the only copy I have ever seen is the one I was lucky enough to buy. There is also an edited shorter version on the flip without the long drawn out intro. Looks bloody nice too as do most Aussie releases. Also agree r/e the Family Reunion remake.

Popular Post Patto Posted December 13, 2017 Popular Post Posted December 13, 2017 Any opinions on this one.I remember lots of plays during the mid 90s mainly North West venues.after hearing it expected it to do more and picked up a Solid Hit issue but never heard it much since. 7

Mickey Finn Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 That Bobby Caldwell tune has Lou Rawls written all over it - definitely deserves more dancefloor action

Geeselad Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 two from me, probably both well known to most, but ever been massive? well they both deserve to be, both up there with any female vocals in the top 50, nay top 20 northern oldies! got to better than Holly St James again anyway! 3
Popular Post Eddiefoster Posted December 14, 2017 Popular Post Posted December 14, 2017 Without opening a cynical angle to the thread; the answer in many cases to "How the hell is this not massive" may simply be "Coz as most of the examples aren't rare/exclusive/expensive enough" ..........NOT a reason as far as I'm concerned but sadly true for some DJs. And of course if they don't get airtime they won't get know and loved. You don't know what you don't know This is right up there with any of them; play it right next to Walter & the Admirations or the Mello Souls etc. and it stands up perfectly well; (my opinion obviously!) I like this thread 5

Guest Gogs Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 Just reading through this thread shows how much stuff is out the waiting to get played, even i as a part time dj try to introduce new stuff (depending on venue, can't get away with it at an oldies only night but i do try at my very few across the board nights). I don't know if this has made it yet but this is one that i am going to be playing when i get the chance.

Patto Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 Here is one that might interest you Ian.Back in the 80s i remember hearing Guy H play a frantic 100mph instrumental.I never found out its title and Lost track of it and never heard it out anywhere until i saw it on this you tube clip from Nuneaton nighter 2013. The Dancers are of course Andy Cannon and Sharon two of the very best and prob the only 2 these days that could dance to it . Anyway Mr Martyn Bird put me out of my misery by identifying the record as the Cover up Lord Thunder--- Kaos.Real artist Blockbusters--Muddy part 2 Always thought it should have got more action but the frantic tempo does it no favours for todays ageing dancers 1
