Has Al Dlory Right on had a mention? Always thought John Vincent had cornered the market in instrumentals.

Your First Exposure To The Modern Soul Sound
I must say that I love Bobby Thurston Just ask me or Will Collins Anything I can do as much as say Mel Britt,Yvonne Baker etc. RS used to introduce real quality into his playlist from all genres/years in the latter days of WC. I STILL get a buzz when I go somewhere and hear something I dont know. I am not really keen on the RnB stuff nor some crossover. Crossover seems to fit into a tag where it aint new/mordern or good 60,s. I have just been given a CD from USA made late last year with various covers plus one or two new things. Outstanding in my view. On thread I feel that anything goes if it is good enough. BUT like Pete Smith we all have our favourites.

Billy Woods, Let Me Make You Happy
I guess I am the lucky one. Bought it for about £55 from memory back in about 1980. Top top tune. Always reminded me of WC the long hot summer of 76, light starting to break through as dawn approached. La la etc. Then sold it to Dave Raistrick with a load of other stuff in mid 80,s. Managed to re buy it from a friend who got it from another friend. The owner was having a bad time on chemicals and this, The Salvadors, The Martels and a couple of others were under the bed in a cardboard box. Condition not great BUT got it back in about 96/97 maybe. Not for sale. Even missing on Van McCoys discog. It is listed but no picture. Still would like to know how many there are. I know 1 turned up after the original find by JA as Carl Willingham got it. BUT how many are there around I wonder.
