Simon M Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 It's a shame you've never seen him, he is rather good live... What a record that was , a huge hit !! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sanquine Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) Would love to see "Darrow Fletcher" again. Saw him at Cleethorpes n he just blew me away - especially with the awesome "What have I got now" the emotion n passion he portrayed in his voice and expression said it all. Some said he looked very nervous, which is understandable under the circumstance's - but that only made his performance all the more special n important in my eye's..... Let's see him again please..... Ronnie Walker - what a voice, he is something else - thankfully Chris got him back to perform again - so can't wait for that.... My ultimate dream would be, "Baron's of Soul" performing live in a small, intimate venue for my pleasure only...... Ok I'd share n let everyone else have the pleasure too.. Just one small problem only half of the group are living ..... so dosen't quite fall in either category ...

Ralf Mehnert Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 ...for sentimental reasons defo: T.S.U. Toronados After seeing Curtis Mayfield, Bobby Hutton, Maxine Brown, Al Wilson, Edwin Starr, Tommy Hunt, The Flirtations, The Four Tops, Dee Dee Sharp (in front of the twin-towers in N.Y.), Bobby Hebb, Little Ann, the Temptations and a lot more over the years...there`s one outstanding: Joe Bataan played with his band in Hamburg a few weeks ago...and hell...that was really a night to remember!!! Never saw anything like that before...and I hope the Latin Soul brother No.1 will come back soon to Europe. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Russ Vickers Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Id like to see Sharon Jones in an Allnighter/Soul Night Venue, saw her in Richmond not so long ago & she was f**king awesome.........I had not bothered before even tho I had, had the opportunity, cos I thought she would be too funky for my personal taste...........no worries, she was brilliant & would rip up any soul venue. Also a few years ago at Newbury we were very lucky to witness Jeff (Jefferee) Perry, he was relating to me that the 'Perry' Brothers were thinking about getting in the studio together to record some stuff, dont think this ever happened............but could you imagine the material that they could perform together particularly the stuff they wrote for others too..........Im thinking in particular of the Jackie Wilson LP, did the demos sung by Jeff that were rumoured to exists ever surface or was it just wishful thinkin' ????

Lloydee Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I was lucky enough to see the great man at the end of the 80's in Edinburgh playhouse. He was jaw - dropingly good. He played every instrument on stage. A real hero of mine. gary We went to two or three different concerts thru the eighties for Mr Wonder and your right; jaw-dropingly good he was. Unfortunately I read somewhere that'll following those big concerts and a drop in popularity he decided to do small venues in, I think, the very early nineties and failed miserably. So he took the hump and said he wouldn't play the UK again; bloody shame Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Jimmy Scriv Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Regarding The Whispers I was in contact with their Secretary of their fan club last year who told me they were keen to come over to the UK. I'm sure they are one of the rare groups with their original line up. Apparently great act live. I'd like to see some kind of Hi Records tour with Wille Mitchell/Ann Peeples kind of thing.

Paul R Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 saw millie jackson at hanley in the 70's when she sang her then YET to be released MY Man is a sweet man I saw her at Preston Top Rank around the same time. Also saw the O'Jays on the same bill as Bunny Sigler , and the jazz Funksters Sun. This was at Jacksonville Colluseum in 1978. Very disappointing if you were expecting the "Northern" repertoire from either acts. But great all the same. I missed the following week, but I seem to remember it was the Isley bros, & Maze!.

Guest Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Pink Floyd!................IMHO its so good to see the wrinklies and how much they usually appreciate our love for them and their music but they really do sound better on vinyl. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Kenny Thomas The Drifters but at least with Ben E King and one or 2 of the 60's/70's members to sing the songs Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 Moses Smith (he is still around) Chairmen of the Board or General Johnson but most of all my dream would be to have Isley Brothers live singing all there Northern soul tunes from Motown and only It's a Disco Night as the first track but chances of that happening like zilch.

Tsu Tomatoes Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) I would like to see Betty Wright again......just brilliant. In addition to the suggestions of Archie Bell & The Whispers, I'd like to see the Intruders (I think most of them are still with us) A UK Philly Revue?? How good would that be??? The O Jays, Archie Bell (once he sorts out his tax problems), The Whispers & The Intruders.......Mmmmm Sigma heaven. We salute you Gamble & Huff (Which leads nicely into an opportunity to put a picture of me & Leon Huff up here!) ps. That's Sheila Ferguson of the 3 Degrees in the front of the picture Edited October 28, 2007 by tsu tomatoes Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soul Shrews Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Oh yes applecrumble Margie Joseph I would love to see her The Dramatics have played a weekender back in the 90s TSU Tomatoes any Philly tour gets my backing and I"m looking forward to Jean Carne and Shirley Jones early next year. Unfortunately Little Sonny of The Intruders passed a good few years ago. I know they made some records without him back in the day but to me his unique "off key" vocals are an integeral (spelling ? ) part of that great group Cheers Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
