TALKING ABOUT MELVIN'S VERSIONS , I THOUGHT " CHAINS OF LOVE " WAS BETTER THAN JJ BARNES. BUT AGAIN ITS DOWN TO PRESONAL OPINION.

FANTASTIC 45 I PLAYED THIS THE OTHER WEEK AT THE MARS BAR ALLNIGHTER IN MY WARM UP SET , WHATS THE GOING VALUE FOR THIS.

YES MARK THATS SOMETHING I'M INTERESTED ON DOING BRINGING BROTHERS OF SOUL OVER HERE TO THE UK , HOPEFULLY KEVIN OR MYSELF COULD ARRANGE, ALSO AT PRESENT I'M WORKING VERY HARD AND CHATTING TO STEVE MANCHA ABOUT COMING OVER MAYBE WE COULD PUT THEM ON THE SAME LINE UP. YES KEV DETROIT IS THE PLACE FOR ME BRAD IS A HONEST KIND GUY AND I ALWAYS CALL IN TO SEE HIM , HE ASKED ME TO DJ AT THE SOUL NIGHT IN SEPTEMBER SO HOPEFULLY SEPTEMBER IS THE NEXT TIME I'M BACK OVER IN DETROIT. YES WE HAD FUN CRAIG , YES THAT NIGHT AT BERT'S MARKET PLACE CRAIG PUT SOME PICS ON HERE, I REMEMBER JOE HARRIS ASKING ME " CHALKY DO YOU KNOW WHO HE IS OVER THERE " I REPLIED NO JOE .... JOE ANSWERED HE WAS IN A GROUP CALLED " THE PROFESSIONALS " -- AT THIS MOMENT JOE CALLED HIM OVER, HAS HE APPROACHED I STARTED IT OFF " GIRL I REALLY LOVE YOU " TO MY AMAZEMENT HE ASKED HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT? A MOMENT IN MY LIFE I WILL NEVER FORGET. LIKE CRAIG SAID ABOUT THE PEPS THEY CAN STILL SING AND YES HOPEFULLY I'M ARRINGING THEY WILL BE OVER HERE IN THE UK NEXT YEAR 2008 SO WATCH OUT FOR DETAILS.

MART , YES MY CAPS LOCK IS ON, FOR SOME STRANGE REASON I ALWAYS TYPE THIS WAY, YES ALSO AGREE MY OPINION CHUCK IS A BETTER SINGER ALTHOUGH I KNOW OTHERS HERE IN THE UK AND DETROIT AGREE WITH ME. THE 2500 AT PRESTAYN DID SEE A GREAT SHOW FROM SYLVESTER AND TONY AND DARYL AND I WAS THERE, AND FOR ANY OTHERS WHO SEEN THE GROUP AT THE TIME WHEN SYLVESTER WAS IN THE OTHER LINE UP AT THE Q CLUB IN BIRMINGHAM, AND LIVERPOOL IN 2003 I DO WANT TO POINT OUT I DO WISH SYLVESTER POTTS AND THE GROUP ALL THE BEST IN THE FUTURE, ITS THAT I KNOW CERTAIN THINGS ABOUT THE SPLIT THAT MAKES ME VERY UPSET, ITS NOT JUST CHUCK AND JOE TELLING ME OTHERS ALSO IN DETROIT KNOWS WHATS GONE ON SORT OF THING. YES 100% AGREE ITS A SHAME THE THE GROUP SPLIT INTO 2 GROUPS. I ASKED CHUCK IF SYLVESTER WOULD EVER REJOIN AND THE NICEST WAY TO PUT ON HERE .... VERY DOUBTFUL, YES ITS A BIG SHAME. THANKS FOR PUTTING THE RIGHT LINK ON HERE AND HOPEFULLY JOE'S GROUP HAVE GOT SOME DATES TO COME OVER LATER ON IN THE YEAR SO IF YOU GET CHANCE PLEASE GO AND SEE THEM.

CHUCK IS LEAD SINGER OF THE CONTOURS ...... HE IS A GROUP MEMBER OF JOE BILLINGSLEA'S GROUP. JOE BILLINGSLEA IS AN ORIGINAL MEMBER OF THE GROUP THE CONTOURS NOT SYLVESTER , JOE WAS IN THE GROUP BEFORE SYLVESTER. SYLVESTER LEFT AND CAME BACK TO THE GROUP A FEW TIMES OVER THE YEARS. CHUCK HAS BEEN A CONTOUR FOR ROUGHLY THE LAST 23 YRS AND RECORDED ON ALL THERE MOTORCITY STUFF. ALSO CHUCK IS THE 3RD LONGEST SERVING MEMBER AFTER JOE AND SYLVESTER. THERE IS A LOT MORE TO THIS GROUP SPLIT WHICH I 100% NOW ABOUT, AT THE MOMENT I WILL NOT MAKE COMMENTS BUT IT WILL ALL COME OUT SOON. I HAVE MET SYLVESTER A FEW TIMES HERE IN THE UK AND IN DETROIT ALONG WITH THERE MANAGER JACK RYAN LETS GET ONE THING STRAIGHT GLEN IS NOT THERE MANAGER. I ARRANGED IN OCTOBER 2006 AND I WAS PRESENT WITH SYLVESTER IN DETROIT WHEN HE WAS INTERVIEWED ON THE RIGHT TRACK RADIO SHOW WHICH I THANK HIM AND GRATEFUL FOR JUST BEFORE HIS GROUP CAME TO PRESTATYN. IN FEBRUARY THIS YEAR IN DETROIT I DONE A INTERVIEW WITH CHUCK WHICH I WILL PUT OUT SHORTLY TELLING THE STORY THE REASON FOR THE SPLIT AND THE FORMED OF THE 2 CONTOUR GROUPS , YOU WILL ALL MAKE UP YOUR OWN MINDS ONCE YOU SEE THIS INTERVIEW ,THIS WILL BE PUT OUT ONCE THE LEGAL STUFF IS ALL SORTED HAS I BELIEVE AT PRESENT THE 2 GROUPS ARE GOING BACK TO COURT DUE TO THE FACT THAT ONE OF THE GROUPS HAVE BROKEN THERE COURT ORDER.. I WONDER WHO THAT IS ALL I WOULD LIKE TO SAY ON THE MATTER THAT THERE WOULD BE NO NICE COMMENTS FROM MYSELF FOR SYLVESTER POTTS , JACK RYAN , GLEN RABY. RIGHT THIS SO CALLED TRIBUTE BAND THE CONTOURS WITH ORIGINAL BAND MEMBER WITH JOE BILLINGSLEY ( AND I STATE YET AGAIN BEFORE SYLVESTER POTTS) SO HOW CAN TONY WOMACK AND DARYL NUNENT ALONG WITH SYLVESTER BE SO CALLED " THE REAL CONTOURS" CHUCK HAS BEEN A CONTOUR A LOT LONGER THAN TONY AND DARYL. CHUCK WAS ON THERE LAST RECORDED ALBUM " NEW DIRECTION " .... ALONG WITH SYLVESTER WHEN IT WAS JUST ONE GROUP. CHUCK IS STILL WRITING AND PRODUCING A NEW ALBUM FOR THE GROUP WHICH WILL BE OUT IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS AND TO BE HONEST I'VE HEARD IT AND ITS FAB, I WONDER WHEN THE OTHER SO CALLED REAL CONTOURS WILL HAVE THERE NEW ALBUM OUT ?. MY POINT OF VIEW AND CREDIT TO CHUCK AND JOE BILLINGSLEA ( YET AGAIN ORIGINAL MEMBER) THEY ARE MOVING THE GROUP FORWARD WITH NEW RECORDINGS AND NOT LIVING ON THE PAST OF THE SO CALLED YESTERDAY PAST HITS. LIKE PADDY HAS STATED CHUCK WILL BE OVER HERE IN MAY, SINGING BABY HIT & RUN , JUST A LITTLE MISUNDERSTANDING, JEALOUSY ( ALTHOUGH HE NEVER RECORDED THESE WITH THE GROUP) CHUCK SINGS BABY HIY & RUN SUPERBLY AND NO DISRESPECT TO TONY AND DARYL CHUCK IS FAR BETTER SINGER.
