Really like the Fred Johnson track; great lead & backing vocals + fine instrumentation.

In mid September (Sunday 16th), Kenny Hamber will be playing a live gig back in his home town of Baltimore. Don't know if any US SS-ourcers live near the city ... but if so .. ... should be worth a visit down to the Arch Social Club (only a few blocks from where the famous Royal Theater once stood) He ain't using his own US backing band, so it could well be a unique performance (showtime: 6pm).

RE: The lass was ran over and that...what sort of defectives are they If you'd actually paid attention ........ you may have picked up on the fact that her head was stove in when hit by a vehicle's wing mirror. In what universe does that equate to being 'run over' ??

Chalky, I believe this is the outlet that deals a lot with Stone Foundation (they sell all the group's releases) .... .... so I'd guess that they do have the necessary permissions from the group ..... ... one of their team was filming down front at the 100 Club on the night, think I kept getting in his way.

Can someone recommend Kegsy to Betty (the one who lives in all them palaces) for a gong please ........... .......... for services to soul .... drug education ....... and Ohh yes ..... comedy.

I'm gonna get this one played at my funeral ..... can't get no better than this ... The Artistics "Gonna Miss You" ............

Part of the show in Cleveland .....

Got to agree with you ... ..... I attended my 1st soul night in 1965 & my 1st allniter in 1966 ..... and even today, I call myself a 'soul fan'; never a NS fan.

Same show; different perspective ..........

Down from Chicago ........

If you think "My Generation" is a bit off the 'soul track' .......... .. you'll be appalled to learn that "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" was played on US black radio stations back in 63 & made it onto the national R&B charts for a 5 week period ................. Rolf Harris; southern soul guru ?? Other 'BIG' entries on the same chart were from Trini Lopez, the Beach Boys, Bee Gees, Kraftwerk & the Steve Miller Band.

RE: Someone once told me that me that Al Johnson & Jean Carn's "I'm Back For More" made No.1 on the R&B charts purely through sales in the South alone..... Hastings, Bexhill, Brighton & Bognor ????

Really enjoyed it; very good TV.

The i newspaper did a short promo piece on Sunday's TV page in yesterday's edition. Nothing startling there; a bit pf praise for the script BUT they finished off with the comment that this episode features a great musical soundtrack !!! So, that can't be bad.

Gino Washington enjoyed a few regional breakouts back in the 60's ......... (Though Billboard got their Gino's & Geno's mixed up in their Milan report)

This show wasn't held in 'The Ghetto' .........

Ain't Gonna Dance No More with ......

This ad ties in well with Post #38 ...................

Lou & the others performing in Cleveland last night ..........

RE: we are talking about history here...........get the damn facts right!!! I's not history; it's a fictitious club on a TV cop show .... ..... next you'll be trying to tell us that East Enders should be based on real people & how they actually live their lives.

Listened through it all now. For a national BBC Radio 5 prog it was OK. Richard & Pete came over really well. Can't say the same for a lot of folk who rang in & got on air.

Got to agree with Russell. Whatever your special interest is, you can find fault with every film / TV prog made because its the characters & plot that matters most to the makers. They don't really care if they have someone in their show that wears a 'wrong' dress, drives a 'wrong' car, listens to a 'wrong' song, etc. Lots of times continuity make an effort to get it right ..... in most TV shows they make an effort to ensure if I guy leaves his house in (say) a Capri, that he's still in a Capri en-route and the same when he gets to his destination. The same care is not taken for instance when trains are shown on TV ..... a guy can board a train that is pulled by a steam loco, next time the train is shown, it's become a EMU (electric multiple unit) and when he gets off its fronted by a diesel loco. The railway buffs go mad, but does anyone else watching the show care ..... NO. ............... So you NS anoraks, give them a break.

Good mention by Ronnie McNeir for the current Sunday night music session in Detroit. Ronnie had to shoot off & curtail his contribution on the radio show as he was expected at the club to perform with his peers.

RE: not sure who did the research, but it is set in 1968 .... .... It's a TV entertainment show .... it's not a documentary about the evolution of the UK NS scene !!! give em a break !!!

It's no wonder John Bacchus got all his records from Kegsy, his story (when he goes undercover at the NS club) is that he has just moved up from Leeds. Bet he tells them that he used to go to the Bee Gee club. ...... Do I Love You ............ Indeed I do ..........
