Guest Johnny Mack Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 One of the greatest northern writers has got to be Mr Van McCoy - Marke Jackson, Kenny Carlton, Vonettes, to name but a few................................ Now, I'm a little bit challenged since I dont have me rekkords to hand but seem to remember that there are still some lesser known tunes which deserve recognition, let's see if I can get a dialogue started - how about : Teen Turbans on Loma Jeannie Screen on Josie Marvellos on Modern

Guest Johnny Mack Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 Pete, Do I detect a hint of sensibility here............. It's most unlike you ..........if so you must be having an off day ! ..........I actually love the hustle............. especially if it's broken in two or more pieces ! Real records please !
Supercorsa Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 "Love You can Depend On" Brenda & Tabulations link I listened to this on Soul Club the other day, I'm sure it's got the same backing as another track. Problem is I can't think what, does anyone know what the other track is, please?
Pete S Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 (edited) Sweet and easy - Van McCoy (is the inst of Brenda & Tabs) Edited February 19, 2005 by Pete-S
Supercorsa Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 Thanks, Pete. I knew I'd heard it somewhere got it on a CD.
Guest Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 Got to be Mark Jackson "I'll Never Forget You" for me, as far Mr. McCoy is concerned. -Mike
Jim Elliott Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 'I'm in love with you baby' by the Vanster himself on Buddah a bit good 'an all, although I think it's Chris Bartley on vocals. Jim.
Guest Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Bobby Reed - Time Is Right... & If I Don't Love You, both written arranged produced etc by Mr McCoy
