A very sad day indeed, a unique talent, a vast and varied career, mainly as a backing singer, she must have sung on thousands of records over the las 60 decades. A frequent visitor to UK shores since the 1980’s, loved by everyone who knew her both here and back in Detroit. I first met her, like many, at Chris Kings Ric-tic Review all nighter at Hinckley leisure centre. January 1983 and many times after! I’ve just had a thought that I think she was the last one of the artist to pass away ! Off to perform at the great show in the sky. RIP Pat Lewis and Edwin Starr, Al Kent, Lou Ragland, JJ Barnes xx Rob

Fabulous read Dave, extremely pleased that you rescued these wonderful UK 45s ! Shudder to think what could have happened to them if the basement succumbed to damp or even a flood ! Well done Rob x -

Important Urgent Scarborough Spa Weekender Due to severe weather and exceptional high tides forecast for Friday evening. North Yorkshire Council have issued a closure notice on the entire Spa Complex due to health and safety reasons. The NYSC wish to apologise for this unexpected closure which is completely out of ours and the Spa management hands. However we are hopeful that we can resume on Saturday afternoon at 12.00 noon and the weekender will proceed as normal. We would ask if you can get this message out to others who are travelling to the Spa and help spread the word . We reopen Saturday at 12 noon. Thank you Rob Wigley, Pat Brady, Rob Wicks NYSC -

Rob Marriott had this early doors too, I assumed his was Jim's copy, however he may have got it via Keb. Always liked it and still have a copy. I see Jordan Wilson is playing it as it's been listed in several of his recent sets. A great record Rob -

Just a quick updated on the 2023 Scarborough Weekender. John Kane from BBC Radio Sheffield has been added to the line up, he will be doing two sets, Friday night down stairs in our second room featuring classic soul from across the decades and upstairs in the Main Northern Soul room on Saturday night. For those who have never been and fancy a more chilled out event in a great Yorkshire seaside town this makes an ideal weekend break with a backdrop of soul music to suit all tastes. See updated flyer for current DJ line up. Tickets have been flying out these last couple of weeks and we anticipate an early sell out this year! All DJs on the flyer have been allocated tickets, but some have already sold out ! PM me on here or use the links on the flyer to buy tickets. Please note tickets are just £35.00 each when purchasing them from our agents, however if you use the Scarborough Spa Box Office you will incur booking fees and charges which have nothing to do with the promoters. Hopefully see you there Rob -

Good Morning Just a quick update on the Brid weekend with just 6 Weeks to go I'd ask all attendees to check if you have purchased tickets to make sure you know where they are! Also we are being told about numerous Hotel / BnB closures in the town, If you booked your regular digs after last years event, might be worth a quick check or phone call to make sure everything is still ok for your weekender stay. I shall be updating ticket sale status next week when I have all agents updates, but its looking at the moment we are around 90% Sold If you have your accommodation sorted but not yet purchased tickets PLEASE GET A MOVE ON More later Thanks Rob -
