Instrumentals

[Dave]

'Soul Step' by the Dogs always envokes happy memories for me. Young Jacko, member of this very site and all round top man, and I were at a do in Peterborough having our usual debate on all things soulful whilst the Rockin' Rev, Tony Clayton, was behind the wheels of steel. During the course of said discussion the Rev spun an instrumental (forget what) and Jacko gave me his speech, complete with expletives and hand gestures. on just how f**king sh**e instrumentals were and had nothing to do with soul whatsoever!!! I was impressed by his passion on this subject and, as he was older than I, made a mental note of his comments. So, imagine my surprise and shock when, just as he finished his impassioned rant, the Rev announced the next record..."and now we have another great sound from the late Nev's collection, the wonderful instrumental sound of The Dogs and Soul Step!'  The hall errupts and Jacko turns to me and, without the slighest hint of irony or even shame, says: "F**K ME! I LOVE THIS RECORD!!!!" and then procedes to hit the dancefloor,leaving me and my now floor bound jaw to watch in amazement!

Ah, the memories. hats off to you Jacko and still my fave instrumental of all time.
