    As I suspected and I think this is now the general consensus.

    I'm lost

    This is the thing, as stated at the top of the page. Was the practice ever really necessary?

    A Tune that is still covered by Ady at the 100 Club is 'Why Can't it be Tonight' - Gerri Granger c/u. He did tell us who it was by on a couple of occasions, yet still it is covered. Weird eh?
  5. Simsy
    Do tell
  6. Simsy
    Good opinions IMO. Especially covering because the real artist was so naff Lenny Gamble!

    So we are running out of new sounds to discover?
  8. Simsy
    True, but your Ree Flores for example, back in the day may have been broken as B J Thomas. But we've grown out of that sort of thing haven't we?

    Records don't seem to be covered up anymore. I wonder if the scene has grown out of that sort of thing? I always felt that cover-ups added to the mystique of the scene, but wondered if they were ever really necessary. If a DJ broke a big sound he or she would be known for breaking that sound and any copyist would just be a chancer. So have they really died out? Were they ever really necessary?

    Yeah I suspect he was out of his mind. Young, loads a dough, in a foreign country, entourage acceptance etc. I know we a bit biased and it was estensibly about Ali and Foreman, but could of done with showing a bit more footage of the music. Saw little of BB King and so called 'Gofdather of Soul' James Brown.

    Yeah great film mate. Fascinating watching Don King in action, he talks so fast, schmoozing people etc. Staggering scale of event in Zaire of all places, they had to fight at four in the morning or something, in order for the US audience to tune in. Millions of dollars involved. Amazing result with Ali taking a pasting til he pounced (or should that be stung) in order to win the fight. Incredible, just like Liston, although I believe that one was fixed.

    Wow. Have spent hundreds of pounds on Roy Hamilton records, never thought of him as white sounding though.
  16. Simsy
    explain.

    Ah this was massive in the mid eighties, hanclappin' at the Fleet . That's what makes it Northern. But Troy Dodds he ain't

  20. Simsy

    Radio 2

    Simsy replied to a topic in All About the SOUL

    All singing all dancing - was a Stuart McConie radio 2 show and was excellent I thought. Mark Lamar show on a Sunday night, top for alternate sixties.

    Me too Sorry Shane

    Really? Or do you think it's just quite good? Brilliant? Baz come on. Repetitive and dull I thought.
