For me, Mentor Pete Thorpe,quiet unnassuming bloke with a knowledge and passion for soul second to none,took me uder the wing,showed me the difference between soul records and fast pop records with a beat,remember him selling me a copy of james lately on temple circa 1980"keep this salmon,its gonna be big one day"wish i had now HERO'S Dave Withers ,unsung hero of the scene,he and Rod made some amazing discoverys between them,always had time for a snotty 16 yr old"whats that like Dave,take it home and play it , if you dont like it bring it back next time your here(bury market,afflecks) Pete Lawson,just for being himself Dave molloy for having a big nose

That young lady is now my wife,very sad news known tel since wigan,would imagine gods having a problemwith him.pete &tommo all running around at the time,My condolences to his family

Soz ,Ken if i remember right fentons version was the the first to be played at a nighter ,courtesy of guy ,bit slower loads of brass,loads of versions dating from the 1920's,its a re working of an old slave song ^_^

obviously never seen a real one ,but if someone send 's him a scan ,he can add "and the sparkells "in biro and finish the label design in felt tip if he's old enough to use such implements

not a patch on fenton robinsons version

Mav ,do check out val,very knowledgable guy ,cant remember the address ,think he's moved since my last visit,be warned ,he can be a cantankerous sob ,if you dont catch him in the right mood(especially to british collectors who robbed him blind in the late 70'searly 80's,well so he says) Salmon

Mel ,if your ever in philly,visit val shivleys shop and chat to the man,he knows the soul scene there ,people who once recorded there often pop in,last visit in about 84 met weldon and gene faith Salmon ps wil post the book out this weekend,there's supposed to be another 2 books by mr cummings ,one general soul and the other about northern,never been able to find either

There goes an honest record dealer,i recently found my old Herb Johnson "carfare back"which i'd thought i'd sold lawson years ago,asked for info on price on here,told £400.iI bought off mr raistrick in 77 with 6 other arctic things for £4,i knew of loads of other copies floating around at the time £1 - £6 at wigan,its not rare or popular so why the price tag
