    Good Friday brings our next installment of genuine soul at knypersley Victoria, cricket club. As it's a bank holiday we're opening early, from 4pm. And we have confirmed some extra special guests to be announced real soon. Keep you're eyes peeled, 'it's going to be a big thing'.

    Forgot about the originals, amazing, the whole room seemed to gasp, as one of the vocalists erupted onto song, never seen that at any concert before.

'Get thee sen down, it's gowna bay a big thing'

    Soul wise, James brown no question, 2nd Lee Feilds, see him if you get chance!

    Not certain but there it is something similar in the voices, great artist, jimmy bailey as evidenced on this lovely ballad, it's the closest I can currently find to connect the voice. Jimmy seems to have been struggling commercially around '68 when funny girl was recorded? I'm assuming it would have been hot on the heels of the movie to cash in, possibly early 69. He had just one release on calla and one on Mala in '68 so perhaps he was sessioning, I can imagine with he would have been in demand with his range and versatility.

    He's a bit of a 'rent a voice' very versatile indeed, just wish I could find a recording where he's singing in that tenor style, like a smokey or Marvin Smith, as in Sadie, I'm sure he was capable of it, still exploring his repetiour ATM.

    JR bailey is a good call and thanks for the hard work, you got further than me. It could be JR, but on most of his material it seems like he was 'doing Marvin Gaye'. Sounds like he has a fantastic range but can't find an example where the vocal styles are similar enough to compare. So I reckon JR is a potential vocalist but I'm not convinced. Be interesting to what others think tho.

    I still like it, but it is overplayed, Dave. The oldies brigade think they're playing a classy underplayed tune, the more upfront think let play summat they know. Hence it's ubiquity it's fits in everywhere, but lets just give it a little rest now

    Chandlers must be one of the most hammered records on the scene, feel like I've heard at every nighter I've ever been too.
  10. Geeselad
    Good point Kev, mines a US white demo, as Dave says vinyl. Not seen a vinyl issue, me sen.

    Nice interview with Joey Dee there too.

    Says a lot that Johnny Watson is down at the bottom.

    Thanks for those, was looking as the other releases on the weird kind of budget label. Lots of superhero records on it. Kinda like the tighten up, Archie hill and the thrills
  14. Geeselad
    Surprised nobody's responded, any guesses?
  15. Geeselad
    Searched but can see it's been posted before, anyone know who the uncredited singer on Sadie, Sadie, is? Sounds a lot like Marvin Smith, to these ears. Any ideas? I'm curious because he's just too good to never have cut anything else.
  16. Geeselad
    He's mint live, shame there's no Manchester date, sad loss gorilla bar.
  17. Geeselad
    Sure I've seen one on those

    Let's hope someone brings a box like the one I went through at swinton.

    Conna wait to get behind the decks at FTMNTC, couple of exclusives to play, including that Toni Galla track, plus loads of new acquisitions. Determined to not cheat this time by playing stuff they know, it's a tall order as always such a knowledgeable crowd who come to hear something different.
  20. Geeselad
    Good see you back on here Tony. Careful, it's a slippery slope you'll be buying records next!

    Hopefully we can announce a special guest from abroad, in the very near future. Boxing night really did feel the start of something great in north staffs. About time!

    It's a great uptempo funky little dancer, imho, Gary associations aside. didn't we have a thread on a Dooley's tracks a while back too.
  23. Geeselad
    Fair point, it's just me confusing the two.
  24. Geeselad
    Seems like people were keen to tie in Wigan to Saturday night fever. Wasn't there a common false rumor that Travolta went to station road to learn how to dance? When in actual fact it was Arthur mullard.
  25. Geeselad
    More than just another old singer, and icon by my estimation. Sad loss.
