Sebastian Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Ray Dahrough Are you saying that he did the lead vocals for The Street People? I doubt that, and he isn't featured in the pictures on the Street People LP.
Simon T Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) Are you saying that he did the lead vocals for The Street People? I doubt that, and he isn't featured in the pictures on the Street People LP. Maybe not then, but that's what Max Rees told me when he sold me the LP many years ago. Joe Gardner  was the lead singer, the others are Milton Daniels, Tom Williams, Roy Daniels , and Rick Johnson.

Steve Plumb Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 thats really nice ,anyone know there tune on spring seems to fetch a few quid -i wanna get over -spring 148. BAZ A. 'I wanna get over' is great - a Ray Dahrouge tune that sounds hellishly like 'I can see him loving you'......the real killer is the B side though (only on the issues as the demos are double sided!) - it's called 'Baby you got it' - fantastic 70's dancer and like you say, fetches a few quid! I had it covered up at The Orwell as The Essex IV - no one rumbled it for about a year, so i uncovered it as I'd had my fun with it Great label Vigor When i was doing the 70's label discographies for Voices in the late 80's/early 90's this was high on the list to be done BUT I never got round to it Not sure how many LP's they did but apart from the Street People, there's the Rythmn Makers LP too! Cheers Steve

Sebastian Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 1718 flip is the instrumental. 1720 flip is I'VE GOT A LOVE SONG Thanks. I've edited my post above.
Weingarden Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 1715 flip is one of the best things on the label: "love's journey"...sweet male group soul. you guys might consider it "crossover." seems tough to find. every copy i've ever seen save one has a double a-side.
Guest mel brat Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 (edited) Napoli & Glasson's "Just A Little Timing" was listed on a Cleethorpes playlist in a Blues & Soul article C.1975/early '76 (along with Roger Collins on Fantasy, Five Degrees Farenheit et.al.), while Ian Levine played Jean Napoli "Let's Make Love" a few times on 12" at Blackpool, though I never liked it much at all. Pat Lundi's "Party Music" remains of course a bone fide Mecca anthem, but was also a big record at The Ritz in Manchester. The Rhythm Makers apparently later changed their name to....(wait for it) ...GQ, who of course hit with "Disco Nights (Rock Freak)" on Arista - using the reworked backing track from "Soul On Your Side" no less! They also recorded one of my faves "Make My Dream A Reality", which would have been SOOO big at The Mecca had it been recorded a couple of years earlier, given it's ideal skipping rhythm! (As it was, I heard Colin Curtis play it first anyway, at a Tiffanies funk alldayer in 1979!) It has had revived spins on the '70s circuit in later years, as we all know. Vigor 1734 - Street People -" Wanna Slow Dance With You, Baby" / "I Wanna Spend My Whole Life With You" came out on 12" disc also. Fond memories of the flip side particularly - only have the album nowadays, unfortunately. I also remember that C.1976/7 Neil Rushton had bought so many copies of the Vigor catalogue singles from an importer in Telford, that he could hardly give them away. He was selling them for .25p each at one stage! - That's probably where most of the demo copies came from in fact! Edited May 9, 2007 by mel brat
