Simsy

Yeah thought similar. This is why I thought it a bit 'rum' that he didn't get a mention in the dvd. Esqurita and Little Richard hard to tell apart in some pics..

I know mate, your avatar is a clue. 'Dudes' just general unisex friendly term.

where does a man go to cry - brook benton - rca

Thanks dudes. Wasn't sure if he/they did session stuff, or purely and act...

Watched the rather excellent 'Standing in the shadows of Motown' the other night, fully expecting our man Choker to get a mention, but nowt! I know the Funk Brothers were the Funk Brothers etc and Choker Campbell and his band had been around since the dawn of time and ended up at Motown. However beyond that I'm a little hazy on the subject. Any more info from CC experts warmly welcomed.

Agreed. He may have worn a dress and sandals at Woodstock, but that's the better version.

Way I see it, it's a question of everything in moderation.

Carla Thomas - Gee Whiz It's Christmas Darlene Love - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) Horace Williams & Choker Campbell - I'm Going Christmas Shopping Solomon Burke - Presents For Christmas The Echelons - A Christmas Long Ago The Emotions - Black Christmas

There's something more ... No, we (kind of) agreed a while back on some definitions ... /index.p...ic=34093&hl= Hope this helps.

Don't Look Back (RCA 1993) Moving to LAYB. Will leave link.

Not sure mate. Wondering if this thread might go better in 'Look at Your Box' section?

I'm sure he'd be glad to fill you in when he's back from his hols.

Picked up a couple of bits blind at a record fare not so long back. One was a KAPP demo (can't remember artist or title) but looked the part. Other was by the Sandpipers. Both were appalling.

I heard he had a bunch of acetates he dj'd with or something. Jon may know more ...

I think you boys are bi-curious. Sadly I can't help you.. But I know a man who can..

Bloody hell mate! Nearly fell off me chair when I saw this old story at the top of the list. You the man for those lyrical decipherings.. Was another one I was thinking of the other day .. Ah it'll come back to me. Great tho' and post # 3 on this thread is the second funniest thing I've ever read on here!

yes yes yes ... Full thingy was Whistle Test - Blackburn Allnighter doc; "It is it's a feeling, can't really put it in to words, just that nothing else grips yer heart like soul music does". Yep time for a 'Friday Pos Bump' I fancied ..

Yes .. "Nothing else grips yer heart like soul music does". Remember it well.

Yeah it's kinda big .. This thread's where it's at for sure. Just been in 'Proper Soulies' .. What with that and other miz threads, oh dear oh dear .. No, looking at the Vontastics and Eddie Holland earlier on ebay and the excitement of pondering whether either or both should join the collection, gets the old collecting adrenaline juices going. So to speak. That and for reasons already stated, proves there's no future in being downbeat.
