    It's also available on iTunes

    This is quite brilliant. 365 is a stand out for me. The whole package is such a good reminder of how great she was.

    The best song I've heard on an advert recently is Candi Staton's "A Little Taste of Love" which featured on a short lived Sainsbury's ad.

    I'm getting a bit confused now. Mine has the star and U4KM-901-1C-A1A in the deadwax. Which one is it?

    Some good tunes there. Cookin' on 3 Burners came out in 2009.

    Loving all the clippings posted.

    I saw the show in Greenwich and it was amazing. I would never have thought that even 5-6 years earlier that the subject could be successfully made into a stage show, but it was so well done. Much better than most tv/film efforts.

    I went a couple of times in 2001/2, mainly for the modern room. Really enjoyed it. Well worth the trip up from Kent. On fact quite a few of us southerners travelled up on both occasions.

    Back in the early / mid 80s, I was surprised when the occasional new record started to get played in the northern soul rooms. Although it took a bit of getting used to at the time, these sounds soon became the most popular of the night. Some got mainstream recognition, some became anthems and others not really discovered until over 15 years later. This mix includes some big well known names like Harold Melvin, Detroit Spinners and Gladys Knight, northern soul stalwarts like Chuck Jackson, Barbara Lynn and Mary Love to the usual obscure artists that nobody has ever heard of since.

    Album of the year imo is Ledisi's - The Wild Card featuring this dancer. A real solid album with lots of great tracks. She's been pretty consistent for 20 years now.

    They never played together in the UK, but they did in the States. I saw Luther 3 times and Anita twice during that period and they were separate gigs.
  12. Daved
    Sweet Things is the much better record imo. Proper uptempo Detriot Northern.

    Of course. Thanks Mark.

    I've been trying to think of the sample on this for 30 mins now. I've got the tune in my head from verse to chorus and still can't think what it is. I know it's very well known. Somebody help me please? I'm going to kick myself.

    Jimmy James & Vagabonds is it - thanks. It's a really good version, I think. Also I had no idea that B.J. Thomas was before Chuck's.

    Many years ago I had a tape with a version of Chains of Love on it. Not Chuck Jackson or B.J. Thomas. It sounded 70s. Any idea who it would've been?

    Some of the latest vinyl I've bought via mail order during recent semi lockdown. Starting off with some northern soul, modern soul, early releases from a very young Grace Jones and Luther Vandross and finishing with some uptempo new releases (downloads)

    It's good to see this given a new lease of life. She's a talented singer. Her first album in 2003, Maya Who?!, was one of the best of a crop of great independent CDs around that period.
  19. Daved
    Also Modern Soul Vol 4 on Goldmine, along with the flip

    Some excellent sets there. Even in 2000, you had to get out to hear some of these records as they weren't on youtube or (for a lot of them) on CDs. I remember the Andy Rix CDR which was given away on this site which contained a load of goodies featured in the 6 Pac sets.

    Motown isn't really a company now as we knew it. It's just a name as part of the huge Universal conglomerate and is used because people are familiar with it, not that it has any of the original characteristics.
  23. Daved
    Or better still
  24. Daved
    I've always considered them a bit cheesy, especially the big hits, but this has always been a guilty pleasure of mine.

    They must make a fortune from car parking every Man Utd home match. They pack them in so tight you have to wait until the cards around you leave, so you can get out. It'll be a shame to see it shut down. Nice bar downstairs
