Was the dancefloor any good

Not everything was 100 per cent but a great effort and for me a good night

The Night great to hear the audience clapping in time

Absolutely spine tingling

Enjoying Gone With The Wind

Gene McDaniels - Walk with a Winner

Absolutely brilliant set, thank you, brought back great memories of Wigan, Morcambe, Stafford etc. Thanks again.

yes i've got a copy of this (the SOS) bonus bought it at Morcambe, really got the pier bouncing

Thanks very much for your replies I will have a look at the links you have given. Cheers Jimmy W

Hi I will be in Chicago from 16th March until 21st March, anybody know of anything soulful going on or anywhere worth visiting I.e recording studios. Thanks Jimmy W

I absolutely love Mystic Merlin pure magic all the way through

So many great records from the Motown stable including all those already mentioned, but my favourite every time has to be Temptations - Papa Was a Rolling Stone I could listen to the intro over and over, but then the vocals start and for me I'm off to record heaven

Thanks for the replies, some of these records must have travelled the same miles as half way to the moon Cheers JimmyW

Was at Blackpool tower a fortnight ago, first dance for about 18 months, hoping to be at Eggborough next week

Just been listening to Gene Chandler "I Can Take Care Of Myself on Constellation" and started to think how far the record has travelled, must have originally crossed the Atlantic, I bought the record at Warrington Parr Hall back in the 80's and took it home to Halifax. Since then it has moved with me to Edinburgh, Glasgow, and now to Gowdall near Goole. About 10 years back we went to New York and booked to see Gene Chandler amongst others at the Apollo, so packed the record in my little suitcase took it for a trip back across the Atlantic to get autographed and then brought it back home. and I just wondered if anyone has got a record that has travelled further . Looking forward to the replies. Cheers Jimmy

Benji you have my utmost sympathy had my slipped discs operated on New Years Eve haven't been able to dance for last 12 months and it is killing me

Used to go to the all daters in late 70's/early 80 at Queens Hall and can remember Al Foster being played then used to echo all around the dance floor, a great sound

Saw Eddie and Popcorn Whiley at Stafford about this time, can't remember when exactly

The Dealers is an absolute cracking record

Sorry Steve, must learn to read properly

It certainly is a funny business Len, thanks for the feedback.

Hi Steve, not a cheesy topic at all, I think that it is great idea to look at sounds that make you feel good. Two for me would be Lou Roberts- Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Love, and Daybreak - I Need Love, make me smile everytime I hear them. Cheers Jimmy

HI Greety, thanks for your comments, but this is OK if you get the offers to DJ on a regular basis, a lot harder to do if you get limited offers. Must say that I got a number of people who came up and said how much they had enjoyed what I played which was nice to hear. Cheers Jimmy

Lol

Have to say what a beautiful tune, one of the best from this iconic group Thanks Jimmy
