Sammy Davis Jnr doing a vocal version of Hawaii 5 0 - that's really all you need to know - apart from obviously avoiding it like the proverbial.

THIS IS THE USA RELEASE FOR SHAP YOUR FINGERS, WHEN RELEASED IN EUROPE IE BELGIUM AND HOLLAND FOR SOME REASON THEY WENT WITH YOU CAN COUNT ON ME FOR THE B SIDE. THERE IS NO USA 45 RELEASE FOR THIS TITLE.

Vigon - The Spoiler.

Is it a cover of Eddie Purell?

He also did a cover of Bob and Earl's "Your Time is My time." Think he was Belgian but unlike most of my Euro stuff it doesn't come in Pic Sleeve. So I can't even confirm him as a black artist.

This is Vigon doing Harlem Shuffle (without really knowing the words), lived in France i think, but originally from Morocco:

Heres a couple that have been bubbling under for a few years

Billy Jones - I'll keep holding on" Dutch Pink elephant

The Flyers - "Mainline is sunshine" German Toledo

Both great 70's dancers Billy Jones has been discussed on here i think , while the Flyers is a track that Ged Lunt put me onto a few years back at Soul Essence.

Bear with me on this one - there is a point .........

Lady B and I spent last week in Praia Da Luz , Portugal , and as part of the holiday package , were transferred by coach from and to Faro Airport .........

On the return journey - nearly three sodding hours with intermittant aircon , and an outside temperature of 32 degrees - the coach driver subjected us for the entire journey , to the delights of Radio Algarve , whose auditory menu / onslaught consisted entirely of R 'N ' B and Hip Hop . The lowest point , and bottom of the barrel was reached when a rap mix of Duffy's " Murphy " came on .......

My apologies if that / this style of music finds favour with you : I did not mean offence , but it is not my music : I stepped off the coach a shattered chap , longing for anything that resembled real music ........

It was a result of this soundtrack , that made me think of tunes that were of European origin , that have gained acceptance on the Northern Soul scene .......

Obviously , two came to mind straight away - Bebu Silvetti's " Spring Rain " ( " Lluvia De Primavera " ) , and The Boogie Man Orchestra " Lady Lady Lady " ........

Over to you .......

Don't know which is Frankie or Johnny, but isn't one of them Maggie Bell of Stone The Crows and singer of the Taggart theme song?

Here's a picture of them....
