Sunnysoul Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Anyone playing her "Cross My Heart" 45 on Metromedia ? Should be an absolute monster ! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
ZapatootheTiger Posted October 28, 2008 Share 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... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest mel brat Posted October 28, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest mel brat Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) "The Pearl" is on December Records Mel, theres an LP too. Cheers Paul Right, thanks. So it's not OCTOBER then (Freddie Waters), or NOVEMBER (Petals). OK. (I was never that keen on it anyway!)

Tony Smith Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 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") Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul Shrews Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 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 ?

I'm sure she was at Cleethorpes once and I got a Signed Piccy of her (Fit Bird !!) will have to look under the bed and see if I've still got it . Swifty Can anyone confirm she was a Cleggy (i,m just a bit worried I've made this up or was pissed!) Was she there with Chris Hill 'cause remember chatting to him also but not sure if same time ,HELPPP! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

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" Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Abbott Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 ...She had enormous and beautifully formed norks. What else do you need to know?
