What Was That Again?
On the way in this morning I was listening to Ruby Andrews - Just loving you and she definitely does sing "such a tit head" towards the end of the song, no question. In Cookie Jackson's - Do you still love me, she does say "Ian Sims" during the song. And my mate thinks that Lonzine Cannon number is all about drugs as he says "you call me and asked me for an eighth". All right that last one was a joke, but there are some unfathomable lyrics that have taken years to work out what they are singing about and some I'm still not sure about. Here's a couple that were unwrapped years ago, but it took years to figure them out ... "look before you leap and count, count your blessings instead of sheep". Another was, "Give up you silly fool give up, that's what my friends tell me to do. If anyone knows what the Cairo's were on about; "every day when she walks by, I give her my biggest smile, but it's always in vain and I see it ????" Are there any soul songs you know with strange indecipherable lyrics? Or are there any we can help you with maybe?

Then & Now
Got into Northern around 1983 and have been in there with both feet since. Interesting topic though, then and now thing . Now.......I drive a sensible car of Germanic persuasion. Designed to get me there & back in comfort, safely. Then......I drove an S reg Chrysler Avenger, that was designed to overheat and play up constantly. Tinny sounds from shitty cassette player. Now.......I may need some 'assistance' to make it through the night. Then......We stayed to the end and drove back from afar on youth and vitality alone.

Northern Soul Movie
Would still like to see a proper film about the history of Motown. Samuel L Jackson perfect for the role of Harvey Fuqua. Any way you want, any way you want , any way you want!

Soul Dance Classes starting
What I want to know is why Jon brought this thread back to life after being dormant for a year? Something not quite right about NS dance lessons imo. Think I know what it is that troubles me about them. If it is possible to teach someone how to dance NS style, then they're being fast tracked and in doing so missing out on the discovery experience. Nationally speaking the rare soul fan is in a minority, but if you love the music, it should move you. In through the ears and out through the legs.

Good Grief
I know we know a Stardust copies' only worth a tenner. But I wonder if it'd fetch anymore than that, bearing in mind the above And the Pyramid boot going for £70 on ebay etc. Think someone should give it a go

Good Grief
Had over a dozen items going through then. After losing a mint Capitol, Nancy Wilson for four quid, to some dude in Germany. Thought it wise to use Joanne's ID to put a £40 bid on that LP, which I thought was reasonable. But was surprised when it didn't fetch more. Took my eye off the ball see. Not with Timi though. Paid my £800 tax bill that month. Glad I've still got the LP.

Calling Chalky
Bit of a tough one this. Mate of mine desperate to know (if poss title and artist). Track is soul, maybe slightly R&B esq. Below is all we know thus far. Any other info from soul doc Chalky or anyone else who knows owt about it, would be walmly received. It's a Butch spin, but Dargey played it a couple of times at Deep Funk. All I know is that the chorus bit repeats the line, "Yes... yes I know" a few times and there's a rolling, grinding sort of piano-led riff in it... top tune, though. > ---------- > From: Alpha Group > Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 2:41 pm > To: Gosden, Nigel > Subject: that track? > > Hey Dude, > > What was the name of the track you wanted me to ask about?

Marvin Or Jj
Went with Marv, gotta say. Marvin liked to distance himself from other male solo artists at Motown, did it to Jimmy Ruffin too. In record sales though he outsold the Temptaions, Four Tops, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles. Was 2nd only to the Supremes. Rare soul is where it's at imo. But to spare a thought for a commercial soul act ... Marvin.
