Good call Barry! Also love his version of "Summertme'' from "Muthas nature" LP. Was good to meet you at the Betty Lavette gig in A'dam. Cheer's for the dvd..... awesome!!! Personally love JB, funk 'n' all, "take it to the bridge(Sydney )" P.S. Check out "Your love was good to me" from "Get on the good foot"LP crossover fan's. Co written by JJ Barnes!!

First Choice "Let me down easy" (Salsoul records) 1979 From the LP"'Hold Your Horses"

E.J. Chandler "I can't stand to lose you" (SOS) music publisher, "Rollem Smokem"! And yes I do live in Holland

Are we talking "Let me down easy" here? If so isn't the First Choice version much more like the dog's whatnot's?

Nice one Derek, never seem to hear anyone metioning this 'nighter these day's. If I remember correctly (which isn't alway's!) it was on around bank holiday weekend's and was run by Martin Christie (MJC). A good "newie's" 'nighter with the like's of Richard Searling, Pat Brady and Soul Sam on. It was also the first venue I saw (heard?) Dave Withers DJ. Happy day's!!! Cheers Paul Woosnam

Good call Garethx The Music Maker's were an embryonic MFSB. Vince Montana Bobby Eli Ron Baker Earl Young Norman Harris They were also responsible ('though not credited) for creating "The Horse"-Cliff Nobles. As for "United" being better than The Intruders? Maybe for dancing .......oh don't get me started on The Intruders!

Raynoma Gordy as "Director"?

"Set our heart's at ease"!!!! We want to know everything!

WOW!!! Do you have any more info? Or any more general Philly info? PLEASE SHARE!!!!

I do hate repeating myself ,myself

Simon, the "Soul Harmony Singles" book list's The Producers 45 together with Kenny Gamble and the Floaters/Romeos 45's. Only mention's Kenny Gamble as vocalist with group member's Thom Bell or Leon Huff (piano) Winnie Wilford (bass) Roland Chambers (guitar) Karl Chambers (drums) So I'd guess it's them. Cheer's Paul Woosnam

Ric Tic Relic's Motown comp Then Trammp'S lp "Legendary Zing" album Was alway's gonna be a contrairey (spelling?) Fu#ker

Not 100% sure 'bout this but have heard that Jazz Cafe post up ''sold out'' and then sell some OTD ticket's due to some by-law or summut? If you're dead keen may be worth turning up on the night opening time and asking. Or just come and see her 7th April here in Amsterdam
