I KNEW you should have come to VYBE with me on Saturday night. It was a stimulating and pleasurable experience x

That is shocking !! I hope your sister recovered quickly

Erm, why are you reading this thread then x

:lol:

I watched it too. I wasn't intending to watch it all (all 3 hours 45 mins of it !!!) but I was gripped by some of the performances, and the tributes made by her family & friends in this Private service. It was very commendable of Cissy Houston to allow one camera in, she didn't have to, she didn't owe us a part of her daughter, but she gave us that, & I thought it was beautiful. Rest in Peace Miss Houston x

I posted this earlier, but this is a better clip RIP Miss Houston

x

No details as yet So very sad Far too young to be taken away from her family, friends and the public who loved her. RIP Miss Houston x

Yeah, I've seen it before, but forgot how good it was I'm even watching it on i-player now, as I missed the first 20 mins or so plus I'm wide awake

A bit like us It's fantastic!! I'm recording it as well. The good old Beeb must have realised us "Soulies" would be stranded tonight

Thanks for hopping & sharing I had the football league show on Etta looked beautiful RIP dear lady x

How lovely !!!!! I just want to share my love but I'm not sharing my mini eggs Makes me want to hop in my car, & head to Soul Underground tonight, but I'm a scaredy cat, and won't risk it I'll just keep pressing replay & keep warm x

I was going to mention Kell & the great Quicksand in another thread, a couple of days ago, I didn't, as I went off on a tangent, like I sometimes do, so it's extremely sad that I'm now mentioning it in a thread of his passing. RIP Mr Osborne x

How can I do the things I wanna do, when 90% of me is you My heart no longer does what I want it to, because 90% of me is you Gonna be the kind of woman that no man can move, I want to have the kind of mind that no man can fool I want to look you in the eyes, without getting weak at the knees I want to be able to do without you, in spite of my needs How can I do the things I want do, when 90% of me is you My heart no longer does what I want it to, because 90% of me is you You control my eyes, I can see no-one but you, baby You control my mind, I can think of no-one but you You control my lips, I just long for your tender kiss I never thought it possible that I could be controlled like this What can I do What can I do How can I do the things I want to do, when 90% of me babe is you and my heart no longer does what I want it to, you know why, because 90% of me is you Gwen McCrae - 90% of me is you The whole song, hits me, but the red parts a little more, and the underlined babe & you know why, and the way she delivers it, crying out in need, almost bursts my heart

That's no way to treat a girl

AWESOME !! It's one of those songs where the music is secondary, as the whole lyrics are so powerful!

I agree, but as an innocent 18 year old, who'd hardly been out of the county never mind the country that's all I could relate it to. It's only with time, and hearing the wide variety on offer that you then associate it to Detroit, Chicago, Philly etc Credit DOES have to go the deejay, especially the ones who broke a record, as most would put the effort & hard work in to find these tunes so without these guys & gals (or the people behind the scenes finding them records in some cases) we'd all be listening to ski-ing in the snow lolol You obviously can't take anything away from the artist, but like a deejay can't survive without a tune to play, an artist can't survive without the deejay. I think I've digressed, it's late, & I'll probably regret posting this in the morning All the above is just my view, I'm no expert, so I'm going to leave the posting to others, & will try not read this thread again, or at least keep my thoughts to myself. Regards Ali x

I bet you tried though

Ok, because I like your wife, and don't want to bring shame on the family I'll keep them well hidden

Yeah I hear what you're saying Win, I guess I also do that, I associate Karl Frierson's "10 minutes" with Bob Hinsley, and Hayes Cotton Black Wings have my Angel with Mark Wilson, as they were the ones who I first heard play them (at various venues), yet some-one else in another part of the country maybe heard another deejay spin those tunes, so they would mean something different to them, be it about the venue, or the deejay

I remember all the above I'll keep quiet about your 18th, and won't publish any photo's on here I do remember it being called Jollies as well, a modern soul all-nighter, in August 1999, with Dave Thorley, Gavin Page & I think Gary Welsh at the decks. It was a fantastic night, just didn't get the numbers Also went to Shelley's but that's another thread

Cheers Joan, it's nice to know that I wasn't the only one trying to grasp what "some" were calling a "Burnley" sound when to me it was no different to what I could hear or have heard elsewhere For me I do associate records to places, but not in relation to it (possibly) being a "such & such sound" because I do not know enough about who broke what & where. My first nighter was 1987 at the Bradford Queens Hall, and certain records remind me of that place, so I'd often say to pals "ooh this reminds me of Bradford" but I'd never be so bold as to say this is a "Bradford" sound as I know there were venues before BQH who did break records. If someone can tell me of a tune that did get discovered at "Bradford" and that I could label a "Bradford" Sound I'd be over the moon Bradford was MY Wigan/Mecca/Torch/Stafford all rolled into one, I think I just love it all
