it just slipped out Pete
-
Don 't think the quality is disputed, except by Col Just disputing the comment that there's nothing better...Sam Williams is far better record IMHO.
-
got the flyer here, Friday April 22nd. Duuno the year but late 80's for sure.
-
I'll amend my choices as I've just re-read and seen the pure soul balklad.....not just the oldies bit
-
Tommy Ridgely - My Love Gets Stronger Invitations - Whats Wrong With Me Baby John And The Wierdest both sides Thats four and all p*ss all over Paris Blues (IMHO of course)
-
no problems pal, see you saturday
-
As good as it may be I bet this is played at most oldies venues week in week out. Can think of many records I'd sooner hear now instead of this and can think of plenty that can touch this and surpass it.
-
but along side those covers they did some of the best records ever put to vinyl. Classics that helped make the Temptations what they are and give some of those in the group now a decent living off the back of them.
-
There are some photos kicking about from Mexboro'. When Guy had his site up and running they were on there, can't for the loife of me remember who submitted them. I've got the flyers
-
Yeah they did and it was same weekend as the Norwich all-nighter at the University I think mentioned in the 80's lost years topic.

Henry Brooks - The Greatest Debt To My Mother
Chalky replied to Ian Dewhirst's topic in Look At Your Box
It goes for around £100 Ian. -
forgot all about that one, same as Monorays isn't it if memory serves me correctly.
-
On digging a bit further it apopears not, the Charles Wright above aka Little Cholly Wright according to the Soul Harmony singles. There was another Chuck Wright recording on Ember.... Never Before/Heartless Tears.
-
there was a Charles Wright in the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, dunno if the same.
-
Used to see her practically every week. They were in the Cambridge area but have no contact number now. did have Kevs but can't find my old adress book.
-
Is Kev, Kev Draper???? If same Denise I remember her well. Not seen for a long time though, saw Kev at the Dome few years ago, dunno if Denise was with him or not (if the same Denise that is).
-
I'd pay to see Ronnie too, only in his own right though, I've no wish to see him doing covers of Four Tops records £35 still to much IMHO.
-
£35 pricey, it's scandalous when you think that most of those you are paying £35 to see have no real connection to the group and it's past members that they rely on for a living. They really had no part in creating the groups that are or should I say were the Tempts and the Tops and the history that they left behind. And as for not comparing Ronnie McNeir etc to the group in Spain, well they are no different in essence, a group of singers relying on material that isn't really theirs.
-
but there are less than 900 travelling soulies now? There were more travelling soulies back in the 80's than there is now IMHO. There's probably a hardcore of 300, 400 tops who regularly do all-nighters. The rest come out of the woodwork for the one off and occasional all-nighters. The scene today isn't as healthy as it's made out to be IMHO, playlists are the same at many venues, it's an ageing scene with very few youngsters and many venues far from full.

This Saturday, October 27th see’s the latest instalment of Lifelines Rare Soul All-nighters. It will be the last one until the weekender in February so make sure you don’t miss it!!! Alongside the residents of Butch, Andy Dyson, Mick H, Cliff Steele and Chalky will be two of Scotland’s finest Colin Law and Jock O’Connor. Both have been leading lights on the rare soul scene, both as DJ's and collectors in Scotland for many years and it will be a pleasure to see them grace the decks at Lifeline. As usual the music policy remains the same as has done for the last three and a half years.....the rare, the obscure, the forgotten, thinking man’s (and woman’s) oldies, 60's & 70's soul music whatever the price.....maybe the odd 80's and odd funky thing thrown in too...basically whatever the DJ wants to play. The venue, a three star hotel dates back to the 16th Century and if you fancy a meal beforehand it is one of the best eating places in the area. If you fancy stopping in one of the excellent rooms Andy has negotiated some rooms for the almost give away price of £20. Just give the hotel a call on +44 (0) 1777 705121 quoting Andy Dyson and Lifeline. If you want more information, playlists, sounds and pictures visit the Lifeline Web site, http://lifelinesoulclub.com/index.html. A view from the floor posted in Soul Source Lookback section in the forums from June 2007 by Toby What a great night of soul at Lifeline, It was my first visit to Lifeline (and deffo NOT the last),i was told before i went i would not be dissapointed,fact TRUE.I ve been around a good few years now as some of you know,me thinking i have heard most things fact WRONG,outstanding records played last night that blew me away with the soul content & shear perfection of a soul record,thats MY kinda soul, All the DJs were in my opinion outstanding,my fav has to be Tony Parker(there has to be one,thats not putting down the others)i never realised the quality of the man,always took him for granted and not to aware of the tunes played untill last night 5****well done sir.. A big thanks to Chalky for inviting me up & directions (beers are on me mate, next week in 100 club)..Steve Green for being Steve, you talk a lot of sense regarding records etc..Dave Rivers for keeping Mandy normal as she can be.Kirsty for the lolipops and laughter,great to see you again,still mad as a hatter..

Chuck Jackson was one of the best acts I've seen when he came to Yarmouth in 1990, very polished show as you would expect. Would love to see him again!!!
