You look more like Butch by the day!

Can white people sing the Blues? or Soul? Can black people sing Country & Western? Can I sing at all? If you didn't know who it was singing, would it change your opinion when you found out? Does it matter? Skin Colour is irrelevent! Some black singers sound white and vice versa (whatever that means! ). 'Soul' is present in thousands of tunes from many genres. Jazz would be an obvious example..who could possibly say that Art Pepper didn't have soul or that the 'indie', Tindersticks dont convey it in their music! Classical and Opera have it in places, depending on the listeners ability to open themselves up to the experience. To me, Diana Ross has always sounded 'soul-less', thats my opinion and I dont care what her skin colour says. BUT, generally the voices that move me most seem to be from 'black' vocalists and thats a fact.

Is this a joke?

Flipper Mcgee, from Farnham is my last entrant for 'best ever'. You guys having been throwing names forward willy nilly! How could you not mention the great 'Flipper' or 'Flip' as he was known to his mates. His name said it all, as happy on his hands as he was on his feet, he had ALL the moves and I mean ALL... He could front flip, side flip, back flip, dip flip, flip flop, flap flip (difficult move, not even Billy can do it ), flop flip, flip flack, flip flip and if the fancy took him he would throw in a double twisting flap jack! So, there you go, the greatest ever. END OF THREAD! Where is he now?

Go through sales boxes of people you respect and whose taste you like. If they ask you to listen to something, try it on the vestax! Look through funk boxes, as people often mis-categorise funk, when its soul and they often have soulful b sides the same with a lot of doo wop tunes. Go through thousands of soundbites on sites and listen hard! Spend hours with your 'soulful' mates, at someones house listening to tunes and having a laugh.

Dont you know what you want for them then?

Sadot DDA biggie!...pure quality soul...

Dont think they make ANY difference. I look at the dj line up. Thats the only important info for me.

QUITE RIGHT!

Then there was Mark 'Thatchie' Thompson.......used to raise the roof whenever he did a spin, no one could 'match' him. Used to see him at loads of venues, think he was from Devon way?! Think he stopped when Wigan closed. That was the last straw for him....favourite tune was 'my little cottage'.

Great bloke. We keep in touch regular and I sent him a cd.

chhers.

whats pow wow...?

hi Paul,just as an aside to this thread,i used to got to the Garage to hear Graeme Park,,what's he doing nowadays.?. Now there was a man who knew how to fill a floor. Hes doing loads. Has a radio show, still produces and at the moment , I think there is a Hacianda anniversary tour! He was ALWAYS way ahead in music and had something like 6000 albums when i was hanging about with him in 1978ish. In fact I sold him a lot of my northern stuff from my first collection. I was hard up and took it down to the Garage for him. Top bloke and really broad taste in music. He came to see the play in Manchester. Always fills the floor!
