Platters 81

i like a lot of 80ts Soul... but its not Rare or Northern.....i'll be dead when these tunes become rare...gimme brake........

isnt Duke +Leonard marvellous........

the "Uptown down South " CD is one of Kents finest.....every home should have one.....

Thanks all for info......i'll post it as a proper clip now ...amazingly i think IVE got this.but dont remember it ...guess what..i can't find it.....

A mate has this track on a tape he did for himself.....but has lost the listing....anyone help on identification? (its in his collection somewhere)

i'll have to ask him about that...i understand Des got his locally.....btw Nick M said he bumped into you at a rugby club do recently....small world......

some additional info on Woody....as you can see he was a stalwart of Pacific/NW R+B/Beat./Soul.. the Mari 45 was probably recorded with the El Caminos but i have no evidence to back that up.....

the great and the good of Pacific/NW have never seen it....its one of Kearny Bartons labels.....Woody is still going strong as far as i know..

Have Love will Travel - woody carr - mari This went from Des P....To Spaghetti W...back to Des...finally to me.....research says its prob a very hard one..take the tune to 1964 and the doowop is replaced by lurching horns.....very fit label design

the best version of this is by Woody Carr on Mari.....luckily its ended up with me......

the Esquires says a Mike Terry arrangement.....probably shipped to LA when Bunky Sheppard moved......

i'll raise a vol -au-vent.....

i'm pretty sure this was more known than Jimmy Delphs due to availability...i got it when i would buy any Esquires 45 blind.......about the same time as i got the Cigarman 45......

is it rarer on Scorpion than Mod-Art?.......or is it about the same?...

Youve got mail......

Where did all the Lovin, go - teddy pendergrass - pir 3742 16314 refosoul Fab beaty dancer....

Ticket from Manchester Apollo 1988.....Line up was (i think)...Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin,Dennis Edwards,Richard Street and Ron Tyson.....DE was a bonus as it was a short period when he rejoined the group.....they were superb.....i remember DE doing a small rap during one of the slower tunes......inserting "i told her don't look any further"...to a big cheer......they were always doing this like that.to please the crowd.....singing snatches of Four Tops tunes......doing fast tunes slow and vice versa....brilliant and inventive dance choreography.....marvellous entertainers..

Johnny Beggs play at the Raven Whitchurch early 90ts......great stuff...

marvelous clip.........Thanks Pete

I Better Run - barrett strong - tollie 16124 refosoul good brassy flip too...."Make up your Mind"....reminds me a bit of "Mr Soul"

i went to some of the later 8-2 do's......who was the guy who took his glass eye out and bounced it on the dance floor if there was any mither?......on another topic i went to one of the Soul record fairs there once....(they had more than one event going on on the day)......i was asked in the bar....."can you tell me where the Psychics Convention is?"

Life of Love - freeman bros - sprout 16004 refosoul

Thanks for the info Mel....
