The song still sounds utterly brilliant, its Betty Wrights brother too

Fantastic article as for the group well I have and will have a row with anyone this group were better than the Temps despite all the facilities that were laid on at Motown I think the Masqueraders vocals are tighter than most groups of that time

Pass thru some market town out and towards Norfolk way saw a small shop with records in, pulled over went in and the first record I pulled was J McFarland Lonely Lover. Asked the shop owner how much 30p he said ar hold on a minute its got a very small crack on the run-in cant sell you that mate and flung it in the bin behind him. No mate I want that can you give it me then, yes I can do that and picked it back out of the bin. That song was just getting big at Wigan at the time, played perfectly sold it for £20

He had better be in good hands, we have only known him a couple of years and think the world of him. On radio Tulip with Dean Anderson later so ill dedicate an instrumental to him and his speedy recovery. Love ya Mark see you real soon Gilly and Nicola x

Yet again what a fukin day me and Nicola and Mr Dyson loved it, known them Geordie boys for years and they forever amaze me. Big pat on the back for the promoters and like them you are made to feel most welcome by everyone. Luv it and thank-you Special kind of people

Have to agree with all the pre mentioned ladies my first would have to be MO she knows a good % of stuff

The Detroit Sequins later added a member and were renamed The Lolipops under Duke Browners supervision

First soul records (3) on the same day James Bounty- Prove Yourself.... The Furys Iam Satisfied With You - Keyman and Edwin Star- S O S /Headline News

I like it

Don't know about you lot but iam a git for my soul music books especially if they are written by the guys involved in creating the music we love so much. Ive just about finished my latest one its a book by Al Lewis (who you might say) well he is the guy that formed The T S U Tornados and tells the story of the ups and the downs of his life and the music business first hand. The book is called The Hidden Man not long been out so if your like me a reader of these type of books then you must get yourself a copy its brill and an eye opener

I thought it sounded Pied Piper/ Yvonne Baker of course they have a connection in place anyway

I thought it was 4 total

Take a fukin tin helmet with you mate

Still have some tapes that Rob had done for me, I must look them out. When you look back you have to say how much ahead he was, how much vision, and when he used to DJ how many dance floors he cleared and to me is seen as a result because you know in a few years time those people will catch up with you and your prophesy

A couple of lesser known early Wigan spins Gary Dean You can say and The Jewels Opportunity

I have two tickets for the 4 Perfections Radcliffe Allnighter for sale, face value £20 each yours for £25 for the two. Sadly illness forces us to miss out on what will be a great night. Nicola says "Iam Not Strong Enough" Leave a message on 07934246361. Buyer will have to collect from the Rushden N'ants area. Thanks Gilly

Yes brill well done to all concerned

In parts sounds a little like the gallop

Very sad indeed, sent each other insulting txts as you do only last week. Known Tony a very long time loved him and loved his humour Nicola and I will miss him very much. Catch up with you one day

Having spoken to E Hollman in the 80s I understood him to no longer be with us, Eddie said "he was a hard man" I said " you mean he would fight anyone" "no came the reply he would fight everyone"

Yes Martin, not a lot left to see at D Town but you must do it, if your on Grand River you can/could see where the Thelma studio has been capped off with concrete. whish I could help more but its a very changed place even from my days of visiting go for it and good luck

Lets not forget Dave, top-man

Great bit of factual words put together about not only a very talented man but a beautiful man whose heart was as big as they come. Its a shame that more humans born into this world hadn't got the qualities this great man possessed. Any one who listened, danced or sang along to those tunes he created have been blessed from above as where he sits right now along side other great musicians. You gave me my life as you did to so many soul fans around the world, (how good is that) Well done Eddie its a great read. Richard I bow before you, thanks
