A Real shame, RIP Marlena Shaw.

One of my favorites is 'I'm Back for More', the below clip has the wrong Lp art, as it was released her Columbia LP 'Acting Up'.  

Also done by Leo's Sunship (Lyons), Al Johnson (Columbia) and Bobby Womack & Lulu (Dome).  Although Marlena's is my favorite one... that intro!!

anybody got a nice copy of this one?

Shirley & The Squires - Drip Drop / Constellation Records

I've seen Craig Moerer's one online..

Sweet Pearl is a lovely track Malc. 

My memory seems to recall some nice tracks by a group Black Pearl, but I could be mistaken there.

Peter

I know a track by Basic Black & Pearl, thats on Wam and later on Polydor, very nice 45 that is... all I can see in my minds eye is that Black Pearl Label, you know the one on The 'Touch Me, Hold Me'... funny how the mind throws back pictures, given our propensity to know a track, simply by looking at the label... !!

Here is one which you all know of course, and is very hard on Demo, never got issued, Colin Curtis spin, I think... this acetate has the long version on it and was cut at NY Frankford Wayne, as apposed to Philly plant / location.

Here is a brilliant one, only on the Gordy issue, not the demo

yeah the Yvonne & violets-cross my heart, is a bit much really in comparison... fair to say, the prices on some tracks on there are all over the place, and that's because they are simply not Auction items...

Hi folks, I missed this when it was released last year, anybody got a nice one?

Hi Mal, this was played at Soul Essence mid 2000s. Where is it getting spun? 

Hey Steve, hope you are well.  I'm referring to collectors, not soul nights, I don't go to events any longer. I could not tell you anything about any 'Scene' today.  But John Manship had a copy on Auction a while back, maybe a 8-9 months ago, something like that, about the same time I read that 'The Numbers - Got To Pull Away' was getting spins, and I know that as it 'We The People' was new to quite a few, me included, it made a stir... lot of folks after it, any copies on Discogs etc, they all sold pretty immediately..

I still need a copy

Don't want to shoulder in too much, but what do folks think of this one?

early 7ts track, its goes for money, and is I guess a rare one... think the writer had a bag of marbles in his pocket when he wrote it...

Hi folks, Nice selection of crossover & 7ts 45's below,

We The People - Ain't No Way / Magnetic South Records, made big waves quite recently, and it's brilliant!!  right up my street, anybody got one for sale?  still dont have a copy....

Oaxaca - Stop Your Crying, is very nice, on MARIPOSA Records, Ms. Victoria Barnes - Never Too Late, Morris - Can we melt the Ice, and Mojoba - I Know, all classics that dont turn up much.. 

This is a good one for this thread...no idea if they are the same bunch as the 'Detroit Leaning' on IPS,  I posted earlier, don't sound like it.. there is another grouop called 'Exit' on JAY Records, with 'Life is what you make it again', again dont sound the same, but they maybe.. anybody know?

Checked out the first episode of 'Bones' last night via Netflix,  Hhhmmmm...  I like this story, it could unfold to be very interesting, but their sets, share, for the most part, the same location in Whitechappel (1941 and 1890) are unconvinsing.

Period drama, in my opinion always falls down on sets / costume, some better, allot worse than others, very few convince me we are in the year the story is speaking about.  Gripe over, I'll hang onto episode two tonight, see where it leads me...

apologies, updated with correct images ;-0)

Sammy Lee was actually played by Russ at Wigan in the early years especially 

Wow, really... it doent strike me as a Wigan spin, but then I was told Russ was also responsible for The Blues Busters - Love is the Answer, amongst others of course, which gets big thumbs up from me...

few more that are worthy...The Rainy Tucker, I think a copy sold not all that long ago, might have been Tim Brown, again!  Detroit Leanin is a good one, 'World' - you go the power, from 83 I think,  I should also mention that Reggie 'S'  LP, on Shasa Records, killer Lp, loads of tracks on there... but 'Baby I Love You' is the play track...

anybody know Vann & Reggie - I'm Falling In Love?

This one is way up there  Wonderful

 

He's covered a few good tracks Hugh Boyton,  he also did a pretty good version of 'If Loving you is Wrong I Don't Want to be Right' unfortunatly for him, Millie Jackson simply can't be BEAT!!  which leaves Luther Ingram second in my book, even if he had the hit...!!

sticking with the title, different track, I can see this has been done by loads of Arrtists via my I-Tunes, must be different songs but, Ron Patterson, Oscar Perry, Roger Hatcher, Irene Reid, Don Gardner, Sandra Wright... clever title...

I take your point about the 'what's Modern' Derek, if it's new, it's not likely to have a massive, as allot above have, price tag... which is refreshing....

Willie Feaster, very good call!  same guy as Willie & The Mighty Magnificents, kinda reminds me of Soul Chargers 'Every Beat of my Heart' in allot of ways.....

Richard Lackey - The Greatest Gift, on Solid Foundation, Seville - Show Me the Way think came out twice, KAYO and a weird Coke promo thing?  something like that....

The brilliant 'Benita - Time for A Change' originally on Fine-Tuned Records, a very big Ashford & Simpson production style track that only made it on Promo... and later via the 'Good Fryer' in Edinburgh of course..

Me too, it's a killer track we should, well I should, throw in a absolute cheapie, that is musically as good, if not above any in this thread... gotta be the best fiver you could ever spend... love the sax / guitar break..
