Just to echo Simons comments thanks to Mike and the team .In a world populated mainly by Divvies Soul Source is a place of sanctuary , brings back memories and the depth of knowledge is staggering . Soul Source has enabled me to get in touch with old freinds and hopefully new ones

I am a couple of years older than Jacko never really got him , as a kid I thought he was precosios and later a charactature just never seemed real to me . I didnt mind the jokes upon his death to me it didnt matter . Last night I sat there totally mesmerised by the spectacle squirmed as I heard Al Sharptons speach/ sermon the same one he uses whenever a leading black figure dies . Stevie was crap but he has been that way since he started braiding his hair the rest of it to me wasnt hitting the spot until ..................a little girl spoke about losing her Daddy that was the sucker punch for me .

You can do magic - Limmie and familly cookin , possibly , now its in my head and I cant stop it

Wether we like to admit it or not the NS scene is a middle age scene so is not attractive to young people . The NS scene has been in the public domain for years and its not become mainstream simply because most people dont like it . Black music generaly has a hard time if you look at any of those 100 greatest album list shows on tv there are only two or so artists featured Jackson and Whitney houston so rare soul is always going to be an aquired taste . It doesnt bother me though I get what I want out of soul music if other people dont then tough .

It was played in Northern soul clubs so it is northern soul not bad for a jazz funk sound innit

I am at present breaking in a new pair of Docs so these particular boots are no good for dancing in , but my original pair of cherry reds are great for dancing . I hope this helps to clear things up Webby

Scepter Wand and that would have been a good un

Well I think its a silly idea it will never catch on I wont be investing I,m out

I could survive without Northern soul and I claim my 1,000,000 quid please

Ditto

Wake me Shake me There,s something about you baby .

Bruce Willis - Return of Bruno . pile of shite

I remember that programe best left in the past

He used to do a spot at the Blue rooms at Sale mecca it was a good contrast after Colin Curtis,s and Ians set allways looked like he was late but well worth the wait

Always a fan of what I call the Motown B team got to be The Originals

Inner City Blues

Cracking show didnt like the Ronnie Walker track though .

I had an argument with him outside the Ritz aldayer in Manchester he didnt like northern much Liked me even less

Thumb a ride - Earl Wright nope

Marvellettes - Sophisticated soul Curtis Mayfield - Theres no place like America today . Parliament - Mothership connection

Funky street - Arthur Conley late sixties early seventies the first note you,d drop , bloody horible tune but back then we thought it was the dogs danglies

Poor old Stevie he never saw that coming

Thirty six years of listnening to not a lot else . about ten years of activly participating 72 / 82 still get out occasionaly but not often mainly to scooter rallys there is usually a northern room so I still get to strut my stuff .

Can any one remember an aldayer at an outdoor swiming pool in Market Drayton in the very early seventies I think it was called Soul & Splash I have a vague recolection of going there or was it just a wet dream

This record collecting caper isnt all its cracked up to be is it ?
