Heres the link to the Revolit show and playlist which was recorded not long after Lebaron Taylors death. https://www.wfmu.org/Playlists/Finewine/soul.000811.html Just noticed theres an Emanuel Laskey tribute show on there from a couple of weeks ago. Hours if not days of Fantastic listening archived on there.

WMFU has a great weekly programme called Downtown Soulville hosted by Mr Finewine. Its well worh a listen to.All the shows are archived on the link below. There is a superb show on there somewhere dedicated entirely to the Revilot label. https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/SV

According to what was said by people who attended the concert reported on The Mary Fox show on Friday Gladys Knight turned up an hour late for the concert sung mostly gospel and was not in tune with the audience whatsoever and it was very poor , but not bieng there myself I cant comment. Anyway back on subject someone picked up TMG 864 for a few pence at the car boot sale I went to two Sundays ago.

I know there are plenty of well known male duets but not to many female but I have just been listening to The Soul Sisters Think about the good times on Sue and these two have amazing voices that have an awesome blend on this record and work so well together. This is a female duet at its best IMO. Take a listen on this link. https://www.the44soulclub.co.uk/ss.mp3 Any other female duets that can rival this?

On the subject of Mary Wells , picked up the motown-esque Cant you see (your'e losing me) on UK black Atlantic off the boot sale this morning along with others. Worth gettting up early for alone.

Someone was selling a load of different car stickers at The Connaught last Friday Ted at £2.00 each , I'm pretty sure there was a keep the faith one there. Maybe Phil , Woody or Chalky knows who he was.

Another superb overlooked and so underplayed Supremes uptempo track. Some things you never get used to. Play this loud and listen to the lyrics. It's the same routine of getting up every morning And putting on a smile But underneath there's another person Who can't find a reason to make living worthwhile Ah, another day to get through Without the love that once was mine Sometimes I think my heartaches come to an end And then something brings them all back again Like wanting you and like having you I'll never get used to I've gotten used to not listing For familiar sounds you used to make Now I'm trying to get out of the habit Of calling your name first thing when I awake Look here ! It's like a child's first step I have to learn to walk all, all over again 'Cause you were always there if I should fall And now there's nobody else that I can call It's like wanting you and not having you I'll never get used to Lost in a cloud I think I caught a glimpse of you Blindly I rush to touch your hand, huh! To discover it's my mind Playing tricks on me again Tricks on me again Some things you never get used to Sometimes I think my heartaches come to an end And then something brings them all back again Like wanting you and like having you I'll never get used to It's wanting you and like having you I'll never get used to Look here ! Like wanting you and like having you I'll never get used to

Here's an album I picked up from the car boot sale the other day for 25p. Great cover design and containing a version of Sunny that is so soulful other versions just dont get anywhere near
