Like the way the camera casually pans left in the hope she'll do it again

If you remember who it was that told you about it perhaps you could ask them to post the clip up lol

Great clip. Funny thing, dancing - a bit like musical talent or being able to draw, you either have it or you don't. Unfortunately I don't

Great record - the first DJ I remember playing it was Butch c. 1990 - was it spun much before that? Stafford?

Just checking out a few more I didn't know, and got to say Tyrone Davis is a blinder, must sound fantastic loud

Love these - Bobby Reed possibly the best £7 I have spent on vinyl at a Manchester record fair c. 1990 Bobby Hill a stormer Beats the rugby any day

That's a great set Pete, all in the right order for me Luther Ingram fantastic double sider with 'Trying to find my love' Not played Dynamic Superiors for ages, tune!!

Good tip, will give it a try Didn't think it sounded like much on its own

Some nice tunes there - like both Harvey Sutherland very much, also Marquis Hawks original mix, though not sure the paul woolford rework adds much

Thanks, funnily enough saw a copy for sale yesterday and realised it was new / recent - reminds me a bit of Bobby Wilburn 'I'm a lonely man', could play them back to back

Flip 'Talk a little louder' decent mid-paced crossover but not a patch on 'Somebody'

Hi Martyn, I did read Lynn's list but didn't notice that one, so maybe it was subliminal Great tune though, do you play it out?

Lee Fields - what a track - stormer Also California Flight Project, great stuff

Great playlist again, loads of people hammering the Benjamin 45 - wish I'd been quicker

Some choice cuts - Anita Baker 'Will you be mine' brilliant, and Zingara & Tower of Power big favourites. Looking forward to checking out the others

Thanks for posting your plays Brian - loads I don't know, working my way down the list! The Fred one is nice, can't imagine too many copies of that kicking around

For completion

Great article

"Kim tragically died of cancer at the tender age of 23. If I remember correctly she was the same age as me so she would have been 56 / 57 now". From Steve (Winsford Soul)'s comment on Dave Rimmer's review of Gethro's book - sad

I was interested like Frankie Crocker in who the dancers were - who was Kim / is she still around? Love the way she kicks off again after the break

Thanks for this - looks really good - new copies on amazon for less than a fiver plus post
