Would be good to see him perform them live although his fee to do a Northern gig now in the UK would no doubt be huge !!!

The Alex Brown LP was CHEAP ! Far Far rarer than the 45 !!!!!!

Does anyone know if Paul Anka was ever aware of the popularity on the scene of "I Can't Help Loving You" and "When We Get There" ?

James, with the greatest respect , you are taking yourself - and what you think you are doing (being at the cutting edge of new discoveries on the soul scene) - far too seriously ... All you needed to do was humour the previous DJ and have a little word in his ear at the end of his set .. and then gone on and played your acetate and announce over the microphone to the punters that the original acetate was now being played . If you just laugh off what are ultimately trifling annoying little incidents like this and just get on with it then you'll go a long way on this scene but if you go off like you have and start doing things like removing other people's records from the decks, you will quickly be put in the same basket as a certain Mr Levine (rightly or wrongly).

I like a bit of digression

I want to know what Pete Smith thinks .

Is that why the Stack of Hits LP fetches much more than the Midsong issue of the LP ? Can you please clarify the differences between the two LPs ?

Paul, meant for the thread to be on Dionne's 6T's Scepter output , but yes, there are plenty of 7T's dancers from Dionne with dancefloor appeal !!!

WOW !!! Would love to see that !

Several million African Americans did ...

Is the same Earl Connelly of "Please Make Up Your Mind" northern biggie ?

Glad you like it Pete ! I have it on an Australian Scepter EP !!!!!!!

Thanks Stuart, any chance of a You Tube type jobbie for the benefit of us - the public ?

Lucky devil !

What a voice, what an artist , what a legend, what a performer, what a body of work ... what a shame he has hardly ventured outside the USA !

Is it now generally accepted that there is NO film footage whatsoever in existence of any of these 3 legendary soul venues ?

Next time you're in town, I'll show you mine ... if you show me yours

Have an original Australian 45 issue of this if you're interested.

I've got the Aussie issue LP and nowt on there either about dirty washing or beat up shag wagons !

Would love to secure this LP, anyone ? Please quote a set price, don't ask me to make you an offer ! Many thanks !

Not making light of the situation Bob, and I certainly hope you get them back, but I'm just curious how did you "lose" your bag ? I know that whenever I leave home with a box or bag of precious records, I keep 100% alert at all times and they are never more than an arms length away at any time ...

Quite simply, David Ruffin was the greatest male soul singer that ever lived, even ahead of Marvin Gaye. Really deserves a complete in depth biography to be written about him and especially his relationship with Berry Gordy and the Motown company after he was sacked from the Temps. Here is one of the greatest performances in the history of soul music, one never tires of hearing - and seeing -this: Download Video Youtube Link

Interesting thing about the track "Super Good Feeling" is that it is obviously inspired by "Crystal Blue Persuasion" originally by Tommy James then by the Naturals, Joe Bataan, etc.

https://davidandthegiants.com/_wsn/page3.html The group behind those classic stomping northern sounds .... and here is a very interesting web site on group vocalist David Huff , now better known in contemporary circles as a born again Christian. A tip, David & the Giants' release on the Fame label from 1970 , a super slice of cross-over called "Super Good Feeling" , just right for today !
