Possibly my favourite record of the year & if we all lived by the OVO ethos we would never get to hear such gems as this - which would be just plain wrong !! BTW Ian - when did you get your download of this? If I got mine before you is my download more original? & I can produce documentary evidence if necessary .
-
"Love You Baby" - Eddie Parker on Ashford is acceptable. "Love You Baby" - Eddie Parker on Googa Mooga - acceptable or not ?
-
"The Hokey Cokey", "Auld Lang Syne" & not forgetting "Dancing Queen" by Abba are tunes that fill dancefloors worldwide !!!
-
Think Frank Wilson has seen more "Spencer's Action" than any other tune ever played - even gets played at Student Gigs - my son told me !!!
-
In the not so distant future a certain record by Frank Wilson may be leaving these shores - but it will not be the last time people dance to this tune at a venue near you - a copy/bootleg/re-issue/cassette/ DAT/Laptop/Minidisc/Memory Stick/Acetate or even an 8 track of "Do I Love You" will fill dance floors many more times than any "quality original £10 cheapie - that should be played "ever will. - FACT !!

Always been a "Harris" fan myself - have to look out for them "Hamilton's"
-
It's actually how many are in the venue - how many people there are on the dancefloor & how many people are enjoying themselves - that's what counts - because that is what realistically keeps the scene going. Matrix numbers & runout grooves never got people on a dancefloor - think you will find the sound coming out of the speakers ultimately does that.

Jackey Beavers - "I Need My Baby" & Carla Thomas - "I Play For Keeps"

George Harrison was ordered to pay $587,000 to Bright Tunes Music (the owners of the song's copyright) in 1976, after a judge found him guilty of "subconscious" plagiarism of "He's So Fine" in regard to his 1971 hit "My Sweet Lord".[1] The Chiffons would later record "My Sweet Lord" to capitalize on the publicity generated by the lawsuit. Think how much it would have cost him if it was intentional!!!!!

Check This Guy Out - New Blue-eyed Soulster
Epic replied to Ian Dewhirst's topic in All About the SOUL
Like it. Has a sound like Howard Guyton - "I Watched You Slowly Slip Away" in there somewhere. -
Money wise not really worth a great deal - £10 to £15 I should think. However it is generally regarded as Stevie's best work & certainly amongst Motowns best ever albums.

Try here https://www.epping-hotels.co.uk/lancashire/...-blackpool.html The hotels on Albert Rd are ideally situated for the Tower - 5 minutes walk away & most are reasonably priced. The more expensive ones are at the north end of the town & are a taxi ride away. Hope this helps.

What about his mate Duane Parrish !!!!!!

As opposed to the "sophisticated" look of 40 inch bags - badges & beer towels .

The Northern fans would only get two blows in, then they would argue about who threw the first punch - or was it a kick - if it was a kick what sort of shoes were they wearing - were they original brogues or was it a loafer - if it was a loafer were they red or black & what length were the tassles. In the meantime the modern fans would have buggered off to the gig & just set about enjoying themselves on the dancefloor.
-
The odd thing crosses over now & again - Joi Cardwell - Angie Stone - Mario Biondi etc. Strangely enough there was probably more "modern" tunes played in the mid to late seventies on the Northern scene than any other time - ie Gentlemen & Their Lady - Brainstorm - Eddie Holman - Gil Scott Heron - Norma Jenkins - Millie Jackson - Tavares - Moments - Larry Saunders etc were all reasonably popular as new releases on both scenes. You also have to bear in mind that certain factions of the Northern scene decided that early R&B records from the late 50s & early 60s was the way to go.
-
Think people are just now listing tunes that have the same backing track & not similar sounding as per the original post. Sorry to be a killjoy.
-
Have mentioned it before but Al DeLory - "Right On" & Bobby Sheen - "Dr Love" have a similar feel. The Nurons - "All My Life" sounds like a vocal version of Don Renaldo - "Fiddlin' Around"
-
Mr Soussan did the same with "Stronger Than Her Love" - The Flirtations & turned it into "Love & Desire - Arpeggio - which came out on Polydor.
-
Some on Discogs - 2 quid to a tenner.

"Can't Satisfy" - The Impressions & This Old Heart Of Mine" - The Isleys are very similar. Curtis Mayfield wrote a song called "Can't Satisfy" that was a top-20 r&b hit for the Impressions in 1966. Motown sued because the melody was very similar to this song. Mayfield ended up sharing songwriting credit for this song with Holland/Dozier/Holland/Moy.
-
Love - Doni Burdick, G.Davis & R Tyler, Frank Foster & lots more. Hate (with a passion) - Travis Wammack, Smokey & The Fabulous Blades - not just bad instrumentals - awful pieces of music full stop !!
-
No - but they do use the same hairdresser.

Try this - don't know which mix you want though. https://www.discogs.com/search?type=all&...&btn=Search

Heard in the seventies that the guitar player on Joe Hicks "Don't It Make You Feel Funky" was Bobby Womack. Also I was told Bill Bush - "I'm Waiting" is a soul record.
