No not this one either - Crumbs how many are there?! Cheers. Len

No again I'm afraid - It had more 'ooooomph' Thanks anyway Len

'Profundities' Len

No Sorry 'Conchitta' - I seem to have taken over your thread (I should have done this separately) Hey ho, as long as you don't mind (These all being different versions at least) Len

Len

No / Thanks for the clip Roburt. Len

See answers above in bold. It had strong horns, and a really powerful female singer, almost screaming it (in a good way) at times - I can't tell you how good it was. Thanks for efforts - I'm still checking Len

I like that 'Susan Maughan - That Other Place' (I think I still have it actually) This may be the wrong way round, but for years, and I mean years! I have been trying to find out who did a different version of 'Baby Dolls - Got To Get You Into My Life'. I don't actually like the 'Baby Dolls' one - I had a really storming Northern version (Oh yeh - 'Banger') of it on a tape I got mid 80's entitled 'Newies' In actual fact, I have bought the one I didn't want twice! If anyone can help on this I will kiss you! All the best, Len NOT THIS ONE!

£1,000000.00 and I'll consider Tom Good luck mate (Great record) Len

God you may be right I'm sort of having a weeks holiday (working from home first week of School hols) Yesterday AND today I thoroughly enjoyed 'the moment' of eating a sausage sandwiche in the garden, and am already looking forward to tomorrows' 'happy snack'......I hope it doesn't turn in to a problem Len

I stand corrected - I don't come on Soul-source much so missed it Len

I've never seen the word used, only a 'banging' night (which means 'fantastic') I hope you're not telling 'porkies' (Ged it?) All the best, Len

One more from me (My brain's gone all 'Roger') Another great tune I associate Roger with is this - He's the only DJ I've heard / noticed play it, and he made it sound even better by doing his 'Fist Dance' behind the decks Beautiful..... Len 'Faye Crawford - What Have I Done Wrong'

One lovely afternoon I was standing outside Buckingham Palace (of all places) with my young family in tow, and my phone went, it was Roger. I thought what the devil does he want? I answered, he was crying with laughter, after he composed himself, he explained that he had not only cracked up at my latest flyer, but also at the fact that people were questioning him as to why he was giving the said flyer out! This particular flyer had the wording......"R 'n' B stinks"......super imposed on a badge worn by the chosen artist - Roger, thanks for having a sense of humor! Len P.s - After having that flyer given back to me several times, sometimes in an aggressive manor (Slammed in to my chest).........I put the very next flyer out with....."R'n'B still stinks"......super imposed on a badge worn by the chosen artist - It was just a joke (like on 'Top Gear') Len

To me - A Roger tune Len 'Sheila Ferguson - And In Return'

Funny you should say that - It’s often that I ‘hark back’ talking to Nina (Whilst she’s trying to concentrate on ‘Gogglebox’) about those days when I (and all of us) used to say such things as….”So and so’s on, I’ll see you in a bit”…….knowing I would be dancing to that DJs’ whole set (journey) Roger was one of those DJs - Unless he decided to go down his R‘n’B route, in which case I would soon return (spitting feathers) ((Bless him)) Ahem, slight contrast to your like of the R'n'B route that Len P.s - ...."Uh uh, ain't that just like a woman? Do Do Do Do Do".........

Just as I queued up my second record to round off a night at The Embankment Club, Roger and Adam came 'bounding up', kicked me off the decks and took over - They did ok actually Len

I was in the record bar at The Mars Bar All-nighter (some time back) All of a sudden, Roger leapt from behind his record stall, did a load of acrobatics, brushed himself down, then re-took his place behind his record stall as if nothing had happened. I didn't think 'record bar people' were allowed to dance Len

I've just realized.........There's me trying to build up a 'mysterious profile' before I eventually let the cat out the bag as to whom I'm talking about right at the end of my introductory post - The clue's in the blo*dy title!!! Len

Hi folks, Welcome to the third ‘Spot-light On’. Just a very brief explanation as to why I closed the last one - It was because a small percentage of the thread touched upon Keith Minshulls' personal life which isn’t right, so it was best to do so. I spoke to Keith soon after and he was really nice about it - I was relieved to hear him acknowledge that he did recognize the positives of this series, and the good intention behind it. Thanks Keith for your understanding. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is written about someone may not be too big a deal to the person writing it (especially if only a small part of an otherwise complimentary post), but it may well be a big deal to the person it is about - When this happens, that can become the only part that person focuses on (Which is understandable) So with this in mind, let’s keep it soul related and truthful Onwards we go - This next person is someone else who has been on the scene a very long time, and I’d say he is one of the nicest people around….(He doesn’t know this next bit) I remember at one of my first All-nighters, I was chatting to Johnny Fingers about a record, Johnny nodded towards this person, saying……”Ask him, I’m sure he’s got one”……I was too scared to, so I scuttled off quickly (I seemed to do a lot of ‘scuttling’ when I were young) Years later I got to know this person, and what a nice chap (not scary at all) He’s DJed for me several times over the years, and has always done a fantastic job of that, along with bringing the ‘Fun Factor’ along with him. I’d say he is one of the most diverse DJs we have (he has many ‘DJ Hats’) He also did a grand job of DJing at mine and Ninas’ Wedding Personally, I’d like to know about his early days on the scene - Where he first DJed, and of course the usual request of stories / photos / flyers (Please note Chalky) / what tunes you associate him with etc. So let’s start this third ball rolling with the man ‘Roger Banks’……Over to you folks…… All the best, Len N.B - Even after giving permission, if the person being featured is not happy with any of the posts, let me know and I will delete immediately.

Have removed this thread, and would like to apologize to both Keith Minshull and his wife Gwen for any upset caused. I will give this 'Spot-light On' project some serious thought, as I (or the site) do not want to upset or embarrass anyone in the future. All the best, Len.

Thanks for all your input folks - See below link to the next 'Spot-light On' All the best, Len

'YOUR' right Gareth Len

I hope not! Len

Who mentioned anything about dancing?! Maybe I'm a 'New Wave Oldies Fan' now - I just enjoy getting away from home every so often, and listening to good music. If those tunes need to be ones I already know, so be it - At least I like those ones 'Mid-tempo' for me, not ready for 'Down-tempo' just yet - But please let me in when I am Len
