Guest howard E Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Hi everyone, I'm currently compiling an article on Tamiko Jones for Soul Up North. If anyone has any information on this singer and if possible her current whereabouts and if she is still involved in the music scene, could you send this on to me at my email addy.. soulupnorthhfe@aol.com any help would be appreciated (especially her time spent in the UK) thanks.. Howard

Sunnysoul Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Anyone playing her "Cross My Heart" 45 on Metromedia ? Should be an absolute monster !
ZapatootheTiger Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 She released TOUCH ME BABY b/w CREEPIN' (IN MY DREAMS) in 1974 ~ a Johnny Bristol connection, IIRC - did he write/produce or both TMB? She had a couple of later tunes LET IT FLOW and READ ME RIGHT...

Guest mel brat Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Have you looked here? https://www.soulwalking.co.uk/Tamiko%20Jones.html I vaguely remember a Northern 60's recording called "The Pearl" - but I've totally forgotten the label details for the moment... Also the disco monster "Can't Live Without Your Love" on UK/US Polydor, (big at The Rum-Runner) in late 1979.

So it's not OCTOBER then (Freddie Waters), or NOVEMBER (Petals). OK. (I was never that keen on it anyway!) Edited October 28, 2008 by mel brat

Tony Smith Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Pete S said: This isn't necessarily Tamiko Jones, just cos they've got the same Christian name! I have "Is it a sin" on Checker by the same artist, don't think it's Tamiko Jones though. Who knows? I'm sure Popcorn said it was the same person (He wrote "Is It a Sin")
Soul Shrews Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Chris-od said: HAVE A LOOK HERE https://www.discogs.com/artist/Tamiko+Jones CHRIS I see theres a 45 on Contempo "Woman Of The Ghetto"/ "Let It Flow"..................is that the same 'Woman............" as Marlena Shaw/Doris Duke ? Cheers Paul

Swifty Can anyone confirm she was a Cleggy (i,m just a bit worried I've made this up or was pissed!)

Wasn't it sometime around that remake they did of "Spellbound"? Here's the 'playtex' 45 for Mr Burton I quite like it myself Not all that long since I picked this copy up, but as it's a m/s promo, I just hope the other side isn't something worth having. Likewise, the flip to "I'm spellbound" on Golden World has a lovely flip called "Am I glad now"

Gasher Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 ABOUT 12.27 judging by Tony's post haha gasher "NORKS" !!!??? what else we need to know is when that term came into being...and just when it left...

Would Lils be more acceptable to you, perhaps? Thrups, maybe? Whatever your preference, you can't deny the accuracy of my statement!
