  1. funny one this am sure that someone who has read all the past discussion and then listened to it via pc may be wondering just what all fuss is about, but as someone said it certainly does have something about it that lifts it up above other 70s 45s, its been one of those 45s that pops in and out of me world a fair bit, but just put a brief bit about some as sort of gives another view on it think first heard mick smith play it at 100 club 4 or 5 years ago? on first hear straight away grabbed my attention, think took me and mucker something like 3 or 4 100 clubs to remember details past a sunday nite- and then sussed out was a cover up straight away on first hear it hit me and others instantly Later on was thrown to hear Butch play it at first Llandudno Conniseurs weekender it being a Mick Smith cover and all that, fairly different crowd but think floor reaction and others hearing it first time was again fairly instant thumbs up Keele - think one of first of revamped ones, went to after-event thing, and there in house heard someone on mobile telling mate about nite and then started going on about what a great 70s track he heard for first time played by Mick Smith, said dunno what was but chorus went something "girl your so good....." again sort of demos just what sort of effect it did have on some people when played out and on first hear Since then when have heard it more often, it always gets a good reaction, and to me whole venue always seem to get a feel-good vibe given off by it, smile on your face stuff, even glass collectors have a spring in their step when its on am a sucker for instant stuff, but from what saw dont think fact it was covered up was a factor in its popularity what so ever, certainly couldnt be to me and others on first hear, dunno what it has but does have something that raises it above many others is it a great record ? is it a average record? shrug in normal world cant say, hear it thru pc but still connect it with certain events and still makes me smile when chorus kicks in, so gonna have a diff outlook than someone listening to the clipped track on here suppose all can say is to me its a great record when its played out

  3. There is a great interview and profile of Henry Stone covering his six decades in the music business. Henry Stone has long been known around the world as one of the pioneers of the record industry. After working with vinyl, cassettes and CDs, Henry is now moving into music's digital era with worldwide digital distribution of his product on The Legendary Henry Stone label to all of the most popular digital services in the world. In his almost six decades in the business, Henry has discovered talents that have sold millions of records and become international stars. He has formed record companies with hits so big and meaningful that they created new categories in music. Henry was born in the Bronx, N.Y. He played the trumpet, and after a stint in the Army he moved to Los Angeles where, in 1946, he started his career by selling records to jukebox operators from the trunk of his car. In 1948 he moved to Miami, Fla. and started to record and distribute the abundance of Miami doo-wop, blues, gospel and R&B artists. Henry says he "wanted to funk up the world," and he started doing just that via his own Chart, Rockin' and Glory...
