Robb...…...you know us Americans …..our English is a bit strange.My theory is the N is silent as in the word hymn.

as a US seller on ebay,Ebay is now charging and collecting and paying sales tax for all US states that have a state sales tax.They add the correct amount to invoices and keep the sales tax amount and pay it directly to the proper state for us.

Prime example of blue eyed soul here in the states is The Magnificent Men.

oI like the Vivian Copeland version best.Record was written and arranged by fellow New Jersey Shore,Asbury Park related writers and producers,Ray Dahrouge of Ray and The Darchaes and prolific writer Billy Terrell.

Just got word here that my friend and record collector/dealer/Philly record store owner John Moore has passed away. Some of you in UK probably knew him.

the best blue eyed soul.....The Magnificent Men

The RE-VELLS were a different group coming out of Trenton,New Jersey to the best of my knowledge. Ken recordsnracin

Don't post here much but read daily and this thread caught my attention and as I read thru I saw a few posts from my old collector friend who bought so many records from me,Bob Abrahamian.How I miss him.

I was so lucky to be the right age at the right time and the right place.I was in college in south Jersey from 1961-65,just a subway ride from Camden over the bridge and north on Broad Street to Dauphin St across the street from the Uptown Theatre.As a Caucasian I drew stares but didn't have any problems,although I only went to matinees as I wouldn't chance it at night.I was lucky to have seen the original Motown revue along with dozens of the stars of that era,favorites such as Major Lance,Vibrations,Patti and Bluebelles who were outta sight live,Joe Tex,Drifters,Impressions and on and on.Almost all had some dance routines or "acts" that raised the level of excitement of the crowd.But I agree,Major Lance,Vibrations,and Contours were among the best.Oh what memories. 1965 brought graduation,marriage and of course on the down side the race riots. It was only after about 5 yrs of marriage I talked the wife into seeing shows in Asbury Park,NJ near our home with Sam & Dave,Magnificent Men, Joe Tex, 5 Stairsteps and others.Then the family started and the times changed.Now I am able to go back in time a bit with the nostalgia oldies shows and oldies concerts and many of the reformed groups of old.As I said ,right place,right time.Thanks for reading my trip down Memory Lane.

Does anyone here know who Alexander Graham Kowalski was? He was the first telephone Pole. Abit of bad American humor

Come See About Me was also done by Philly songstress NELLA DODDS on wand....not The Nelodods as quoted by ROBURT.

I live about an hour from The "Count" and have known him for a long time.Every word all you have written I have seen in person. Believe me,you all have hit the nail on the head...his reputation is just as bad amongst us in the USA.Despite the way he treats everyone,I still feel a bit for him as he has led a rough life,now uses a motorized wheelchair and lost a son to substance abuse. His actions and unscrupulous behaviors are well documented.

UK's answer to "The Count"?

that comment screams for a visual
