Don't know if anyone has already posted this, but something to listen to while getting ready to go out tonight or like me, something to listen to while settling in with a bottle of wine for the night. The Life of Etta James: Candi Staton presents the story of the singer who has conquered personal demons while recording some of the greatest R 'n' B records ever. QoFxx

errrrrrrr catchy not sure , your description was pretty accurate, but everyone knows I like 60s pop stuff (or sh*te as some call it)so if I like it everyone else will probably give it a wide birth QoFxx

I like it , (so that should put everyone else of it), not sure how it should be classified genre wise though and yes you are mad but thats nothing to do with liking this record your just mad QoFxx

I did notice that our SS spy "djr" from across the pond was doing a fine job defending our freedom and way of life, just hope it's not too much for a single handed defence QoFxx

That's your highness and yes go for it QoFxx

but it's thursday night and we're bored QoFxx

Sh*t i'm running for cover if you are going in guns blazing QoFxx Oh poo go for it what the hell

Doesn't do anything for me either Taxi................................... QoFxx

Feeling mischevious tonight, so have posted a link to the thread on the Manchester XFM notice board oh and emailed it to the station QoFxx

Why should Mark bother, he has a perfectly good show of his own on at the same time so we all have a choice RWs "I'm A Legend In My Own Bathtime Show" on XFM or Solar on a Sunday night, ahhhh decisions, decisions . Everyone who loves the music has the right to choose what they listen to and I am sure there are loads of people who were on the scene back in the 70s who no longer come out to play are quite happy reliving their memories of what were to them "great times" of their youth but I have to agree with Paul on this, XFM is a strange vehicle for this as it is aimed at the younger market, which I think is what the original thread was about. QoFxx

One question for you Why would the youngsters today behave any different than we did at there age in the 70s? Sorry mate can't see your logic . Remember we were young once QoFxx

But that was then and this is now, get over it wigan is bl**dy car park and all RW has done for the last god know how many years is trade on that. ITS OVER (and strangely enough some of us even say "phew, thank god for that"), but that is not what this thread is about. My point was that Paul should not of been disappointed or surprised at the content of the show as it did what it said on the tin. It was RWs memories stories and him playing "classic cuts" to use XFMs own words. I most definitely am nearer 50 than 30 but I agree with the Paul and Baz that this sort of schmultzy nostalgia makes you just want to cringe when you hear it and young enthusiastic DJs are the way forward for the scene in the future and just because they are young does not mean that they do not appreciate good 60s soul and are going to turn the scene into one great big Disco, many of them are as anti "modern" as some of us wrinklies if not more so. QoFxx

To be fair to XFM, going by your post, it did do what it said on the tin.... "Northern Soul with Russ Winstanley Join Russ every Sunday as the Godfather Of Northern Soul brings stories, memories and spins the best classic cuts." stories, memories and spins the best classic cuts........ sort of gives it away really doesn't it , the show is meant to be nostalgic, personally having read the blurb it would of convinced me not to turn on as it was obviously going to be the same old RW self adulation and twaddle, far better radio shows to tune in to on a Sunday night QoFxx

When was the show Paul is referring to actually aired? I am interested to see exactly how XFM promoted the show. I.e. was it promoted as a nostalgic voyage or was it promoted as a look at the Northern Scene.....................Did it do what it said on the tin? QoFxx

Watching and its past my bed time . Well it isn't a school night QoFxx

I Couldn't Care Less - Carol Fredricks ..................I just love the line, "I couldn't care less if the whole wide world was to fall on you" can think of a few prospective victims QoFxx

Although I listen to mostly soul and most of that "northern" I also listen to lots of other stuff, I even declare a "non soul day" now and again and listen to loads of other stuff, "Dave Shap" "Boy on a Dolphin" (or as shane calls them Kid On A Squid) Jam. Stranglers,, just what ever fits the mood really. I will now submit myself to the Soul Police for a public flogging ...................please QoFxx

2 years ago, I had been off the scene for over 20 years (usual cr*p, kids marraige(sx3) ) then one day I stumbled accross this site which has been my second home ever since. I have met many great friends through the site both old and new and for that I thank SS and even more Mike, for making this all possible. Oh and you orrible lot as well QoFxx
