Ady Croasdell Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 And was Pete Cooke black or white? It's an interesting thing, which names are popular with Black Americans and which ain't and why.
Val (Chunky) Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Peter King..............stretchin' it a bit I know.....more african funk Chicago Pete
pikeys dog Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 And was Pete Cooke black or white? It's an interesting thing, which names are popular with Black Americans and which ain't and why. Unless it was Dudley Moores comedy partner, i haven't got a pot-o'-glue. Pete isn't a common name amongst African Americans, the most famous is probably Pete Brown (PGA Golfer) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Brown_(golfer)

Theresa Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I checked the iPod and the only Petes we've got are the Peter Moore Orchestra and Peter Cooke & Dudley Moore Daniel Dombrowe in Germany was just saying to me the other day that he's trying to think of names for his new baby boy who's due next week, and he really wanted Marvin, but that's apparently really popular with East German chavs over there...
Ady Croasdell Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 Peter Lamarr. Is that Pearly Gates in your avatar pic ??? That's the girl, Sonny's name dropping already.
Ady Croasdell Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 Steve Mancha Doh! No really major Petes though, and no Adrians at all!
Guest Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Doh! No really major Petes though, and no Adrians at all! Like I said, Peter Lamarr comes from Detroit and was in the Drifters, Faye Treadwell's official group, for many many many years.
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Pete Moore of The Miracles is one everyone's missed. OK, so I know his birth name was Warren, but he was always referred to as Pete on the Miracles' album covers and by other group members/Motown alumni. Does that count?
Kev Cane Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Steve ManchaBeat me to the punch on that one Tony, but on second thoughts does it count cos his real name is Clyde Wilson ? Kev

Garethx Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Pete Parker on Kapp; definitely a proper soul singer rather than a pop artist appropriated by the Northern scene. His "Standing On The Outside" 45 is a Leonard Jewel Smith production and a fairly decent deep soul ballad. On the other side of the coin is Steve Davis on RCA Victor; definitely a pop artist but his "Laugh A Little, Cry A Lot" is a beat ballad I've always had a great deal of time for as an exquisite example of the genre. I presume this is the guy who wrote Percy Sledge's immortal "Take Time To Know Her", too, so his country-soul credentials are impeccable. Also on RCA there is Steve Colt, an artist I don't really know much about but I believe is another blue-eyed singer. We mustn't forget Steve Dixon, a fine singer with several bona-fide Southern Soul rarities to his name with the most notable one being "Depend On Me" on Spotlite: one of the most expensive deep soul records out there.
KevH Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 How many Keiths? Brians? Ians? Keith.... Brian Holland Ian (from Ian and the Zodiacs). Gordon's?
Godzilla Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Another white guy for sure, but Pete Wingfield has pretty good soul credentials as a singer, musician and writer.
scunnyjack Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Big Boy Pete-Cold Turkey/My Love is a spaceship on Amy listed in JM's guide as Northern for £75. Steve
Mal C Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Steve Guliiory-Wanted for love, and Mr Mancha of course.. How about singers called Stuart? Would Stu count.. mal
Jem Britttin Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Peter's Faces ..did a version of "Just like Romeo and Juliet" on UK Piccadilly or Pye i think
Guest lifeandsoul Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 current artists - do they count. Peter Hadar, Steve Wallace
Guest soulmaguk Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 And was Pete Cooke black or white? It's an interesting thing, which names are popular with Black Americans and which ain't and why. Pete Cooke, fabulous voice, sounds very african american. Also check out BIG PETE and the MINUTE MEN on J.Ms for the track Big Pete for a bit of bluesy fun.

On a label called Barbaby. Mega mega rare (or at least it certainly used to be). I had forgotten all about it. I think I dug it out and re-played it at The Rocket in 2002. Then eventually sold it to someone - no idea who.
