On the subject of Geno Washington 'Water' was written by Roger Atkins and Helen Miller, Atkins of course also wrote 'It's My Life' . 'Hurt By Love' was written by Geno himself.

This was recorded by Kiki Dee on her Motown lp, 'Great Expectations'.

Haven't been a regular since the mid-80's and can't remember the last time I when. But I still proudly carry my white membership card in my wallet everywhere I go. It is bad news, but whatever new venue it moves to, the spirit will move on with the people who attend, it's all about the atmosphere people create. One thing I used to really hate and it still hasn't been fixed it that 1 metre square of raised wooden replacement dancefloor on the lefthand side in front of the stage, near the piano, used to drive me crazy. And it's still there! Good luck Ady in whatever you decide to do. TTM

Honey Bee is avaliable on 45, it's on the flip of the Funk Bros track I can't remember the title, it's an official release. Ady, Kent tracks I'd like to see, but they are not really popular enough, Mary Love's much under rated 'I've Gotta Get You Back' and Wille Hutch - 'I Can't Get Enough'.

On the subject of royalties and as I've already stated to Pete, this guy is currently being investigated by the relevant bodies, but these things do take time, so we have to be patient. Tracks like Just Loving You may have been big for the last 20 years, but the US copyright owners are probably not aware of the Northern Scene, so they may refuse the licence on the basis that an individual or record company only wants to licence 1 track. It's makes more business sense for them sense to try and licence enough tracks for a various artists/single artist compilation. That's why you see more comp's for one label, and although you do see comp's with tracks from more than one licensing source there are less of these. Ady will be able to confirm that this is the case with stuff on the Ace group of labels, if he wants to to put out a comp of different sources it's fairly straight forward if it's say Money, Modern, etc for which Ace already have licensing deals in place. CD's like the recent 100 Club comp contains tracks from a large number of licensees, it's all about economics I guess. TTM

don't see how that can really call themselves the Funk Brothers without the other members?

Sean, I''d completely forgotten about that other thread. I couldn't bid on that item as it only had a very short time to run.!

I expected this would only generate a couple of replies! Interestingly no-one has offered me a copy for £20!

If anyone's got one at that price I'll buy it now! TTM

Earl Van Dyke & The Soul Brothers - That Motown Sound Isley Brothers - Soul On The Rocks (some great tunes on here)

Following on from the interesting 'Rehab' thread, check out the sound samples from her new album: https://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/241370...amy%20winehouse Personally think that the tracks 'Tears Dry On Their Own' & 'He Can Only Hold Her' are interesting the latter being a good midtempo floater. TTM

Check out my thread on the Detroit Soul Forum on the same subject https://www.soulfuldetroit.com/forum/ looks under 'motown topics' Tim

Ken, many apologises. It should have said thanks to you and Pete. Tim

Picked up one of these at the weekend, it's a black label with multi-coloured feather design, rather than the earlier blue but not sure if it a boot? Can anyone supply any info, runoff groove numbers etc. Thanks Tim

Hi Pete Do you mean the Poets from Scotland, or the US group? The nearest the Scots guys got to soul was a freakbeat version of Marvin Gaye's 'Baby Don't Do It' and I can't imagine that being played at a northern do! Tim

Very sad indeed, love both 'Those DJ Shows' and 'For The Love Of Mike'. Only way to appreciate her vocals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqZ2ivaD8_c This ones almost a bit pop-northern https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44-1wzZ2Iu8 Patrice is far right. TTM

In a clip from last night's Eastenders, Rudolph Walker's character invited an old friend around, namely Ram John Holder (aka Pork Pie, and sometime late's 60's britsoul and blues performer, he had some 45's on UK Columbia). In the background 'Going Back To Detroit' by the Platters was playing! TTM

Saw Geno a couple of times in the eighties and at the Walthamstow Festival in London last year, on the whole pretty good, shame he does all covers. Some of his stuff worth looking out for: If You Knew (Fr 'Hi' ep 1967) Good version of Ebony Keyes track I've Been Hurt By Love (b-side of She Shot a Hole In My Soul 1967) Also a good version of the Precisions 'If This is Love' on the Castle CD of all his Pye output. Also check youtube for a clip of Geno & the guys at the Marquee: Que Sera Sera https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipZjSNxVZ4A You Don't Know Live I Know https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_rbfHyKO4I Michael (The Lover) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDMi5GcfbbI Groovy!!
