Our Kid Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Silvetti-Spring Rain Sounds like it falls into the never to be revived category but I bet this one would hit the mark again with any younger members of the audience.Heard it out about 3 years ago and you know what - it sounded bloody good.Bizarrely it sounded fresh (no I wasn't half hissed!)

Guest inspirations001 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Have been playing it in and around D¼sseldorf for the last couple of months. Lovely tune. always thought this was a great record. remember soul sam giving it a few spins around 1980. flip it over for ace mid tempo dancer(imho) that would go if given the spins. think it's called "it takes a woman to love a man". also re ral donner. he died a few years back and yeah he made his living as an elvis impersonator. i think he was in elvis' band at one point but i could be wrong. i usually am!!

For a one off it was a bit of fun but I got the impression that it wasn't a one off for that venue. I've been to a few oldies nights but this was something else. Also on the list played that night were: Boogie Man Orchestra -Lady lady lady (instrumental) Gentleman and their lady - Like her Apples peaches pumpkin pie - Jay and the Techniques and what's that one called that goes "standing at the station, waiting for the number 8 train.."..is it Beverly Ann?
