Soul Shrews

@Robbk !!!

Aaah I didn't need to listen to the clip as I have the King version so assumed that was it. Thanks for the info Tim ! Not changing my vote, lovely voice punchy horns and now warm too ! Lovely

Vicki Anderson for me. Love her voice and those punchy horns !

Yes 1979. I was there and my 1st Wigan nighter was the week after the anniversary in "78. Never seen the Casino so packed it took ages to get in. I remember she did "One Way Out" accapella as the band didn"t know the song. Oh and the Vandellas were one girl & one guy ! Cheers Paul

Mr Pickett did not perform at the Casino However after reading Mr Pitts Afropean book (highly recommended ) I can forgive him this faux pas.

Written so many great songs. RIP Ray

A true Soul giant. Like Daved says so many great songs A personal favourite of mine Thanks for the mucic Mr Johnson Cheers Paul

Dells @ Trentham Gardens "98 1st gig in Europe ! Saw them a year later in Oakland with The Emotions & Bloodstone in the beuatiful Paramount Theatre, Plenty of gigs in the 80s when I lived in London, Bobby Womack (numerous) Gil Scott Heron(numerous) Chuck Brown & The Soul Searchers @ Town and Country Club Anita Bakers 1st gig (Songstress LP ) Jean Carn Phyliss Hyman Marlena Shaw Johnny "Guitar" Watson (3hours late @ a sold out T&C won the crowd over in minutes) James Brown with Maceo & Fred Wesley Waylo Revue with Otis Clay, Ann Peebles Really enjoyed Rufus Thomas in his "hot pants" too ! Cheers Paul

Not forgetting his contribution with The Invitations fabulous records of which this one is my favourite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-wmQpj2SeQ RIP Lew & thank you for the music Cheers Paul

Ouch !!!

Little Anthony for me from this poll. If this version was there I may have had to think again. Cheers Paul

Went to a good home Mal Cheers Paul

Can't believe no mention of Loleatta Holloway side on the John Edwards 45 sales pitch !!! Cheers Paul

Yes Russ agree Mark was on form again ! Gino Washington is very good. Also enjoyed Ron Kieth & Sheri Gibbs amongst others Cheers Paul

Rex Gardin we're talking about here I still love the record and don't think I could ever sell mine. Part 2 on the flipside is fine too ! Cheers Paul

Seemed to go fairly cheap in these crazyprice days. Maybe a little too 'left field' for the Northern Classic collecter ?? Cheers Paul

WLP with 'Love (Your Pain Goes Deep)" does. Well my copy anyway Cheers Paul

Afraid not Tim. I was in DC to see the Jerry Butler show & was talking soul with a DC friend when she said "Have you ever heard of Lorraine Rudolph "? Couldn't believe that I had and called her immediately, so I was kinda put on the spot. But that was a very nice spot to be put on ! Cheers Paul

Sad to report that Lorraine Rudolph has died. Spoke with her on the phone some years ago & she told me she had been asked to perform in the UK but sadly that didn't happen. Thank you for the music Lorraine and RIP Paul

Richard preferred this side. I guess he didn"t get the chance to play it that often what with "She Said Goodbye" such a big sound. Plus all his other wonderful records at that time Cheers Paul

About 3 times the going rate (& I thought that was high !!! ) Whats on the flip of the earlier release ? Cheers Paul

Arrived here in Holland yesterday. Looks fantastic. Well done Gilly ! Cheers Paul

soulade on discogs is @Ady Pountain on here. Also has nice records in great condition Cheers Paul

https://www.soultrader45s.co.uk Kev always has some nice records in great condition. On here @Kjw Cheers Paul

My 1st 45 this year Closely followed by Michael J Kirklands 2 new(ish) 45s "Closer" & "Stay Don;t Go" Literally all 3 fell on the doormat today but I ordered Mike & Censations a few days earlier so theres the winner ! Also recieved a couple of LPs last Thursday but they were sent on 24th November 2020 so don;t count for this thread. A Michael J Kirkland hat-trick, not a bad way to start 2021 !!!
