That made me laugh Gilly! I thought... been there, done that! LOL! I still get people contacting me asking me questions and when I say what page is it they are referring to, they usually tell me they haven't bought a book! LOL! I'm like you, it was something I needed to do, to recount the lives of people who I'd grown to love and try and relay their contributions that so many people in their hometown had missed. As the years pass by and the creators of our music also pass, I'm so glad I did it. Their legacy is there now, for all to find, forever and written by a fan. You should as proud of yourself as you are of the likes of Dave Hamilton mate. You have recorded history and done it a with an individual touch of style and panache. Well done my friend. Best, Dave

Thought it noteworthy to record here on Soul-Source the passing of Mr Bruce Hawes, songwriter extraordinaire who, along with Charles Simmons and Joseph Jefferson wrote some of Philadelphia's most enduring songs. Quite a few people will probably be unaware of his contribution to that city's musical landscape but things like The Spinners, "Games People Play" and 'Mighty Love', were created by the talented trio. Bruce not only collaborated with his two close friends but also with Gamble and Huff on a number of projects. He can be heard playing keyboards on dozens of PIR outings. He also wrote a must have book on the subject of The Sound Of Philadelphia called "Growing Up In The Sound Of Philadelphia" Alongside his musical talent I found him the perfect gentlemen and one who was always happy to sing the praises of his contemporaries as much as take credit for his own endeavours. People who interview artists will appreciate that that is sometimes a trait in short supply. Ever helpful, patient with his novice interviewer and a font of knowledge he was a proper star. Bruce passed away yesterday after a lifetime immersed in music. RIP Mr Hawes Sir, and congratulations on a job extremely well done. Dave

Just had delivery of my first 45 from the Site Store. Very happy with purchase, shipping and packaging. Great service all round. I'll be back. Dave

I have quite a few already and am looking to expand that part of my shelves. I'm interested in any 60s releases on Motown, Tamla, Gordy, VIP. Regards, Dave

Anyone got a Silhouettes LP on Goodway they want to shift? Also, any Motown related PROMO LPs? (except greatest hits or Anthologies). Dave 😉

When I spoke to MT about this he said ' That's definitely NOT me, Dave'. I too had previously, (mistakenly), listed it as a Mike Terry piece. Regards, Dave

Saw the cover photo and couldn't be bothered to open it up. LOL! Dave

Job done! Jason burned the midnight oil on the layouts! Thanks for the anecdote. Dave

Issues #1 - #4 are the scarce ones. Although all the Issues have now just about sold out. The early ones were printed by an initial company that only did short runs before we sourced a more user friendly printer in California. (Hence we were caught out on a reprint on Issues 1 - 4!). Dave

2 different artists. Not sure why the topics were merged but I'll try and get them seperated. Dave
