Belting read , struggling to put it down . time machine to those fabulous records and stories

first heard it at the Casino , and loved it from the get go , left field , edgy vibe . always wondered if there was a longer version knocking about , when that sax blows up near the end - Fabulous [ great info , always wondered about the group.]

next week " strictly does Modern Soul " shit no ! cant wait to get in work next week , to a load of " oh I know what those soul doos you go to are like " NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..........

Massive Milestone , for the Charity soul peeps , suspect there's more to come from the Charity soul Movement - please support their Brilliant events !

cheque o.k ivor ?

so many great songs from the man , will be playing something of Leon's at the charity soul all-dayer Harrogate . finally got to see him in Manchester at the Band on the wall a couple of years back. such a cool guy , he had Bluey from incognito as his m.d . wonderful night . love the show he did in Amsterdam with Carleen Anderson , often find myself watching a few songs from that when i'm on youtube . as with all the legends that leave us , wont be another along any time soon. r.i.p Leon shorty

all been said above, one of the best , right up there with the Johnny Taylors ,Bobby Blands ,James carrs of this world. remember hearing - you taught me how to love at Wigan Casino , covered up. not a voice you could cover up for long ! similar to Wilson Pickett. and " the school of life " gets me every time . very best wishes to Tommy and his family. shorty

extremely jealous . never saw Marvin live . talking to someone on the Chester soul cruise that did. Leon Ware the closest ive got to the great man . shorty

great comments and clips , as a young kid at the Casino I always used to love watching Dave Evison on the dance floor ,just so fluid and a blur of feet. think I heard Dave talking about it on the radio one time saying it was a specific area thing from the Torch days . as said above this wonderful music just takes you to that special place , just go for it - with consideration ! Big Mick from Bradford always class in the Northern /Modern room. used to love watching ''tall Paul'' doing his spins [ like to think all those wonderful dancers no longer with us are still doing it upstairs. on a light hearted note as a lot of us get older it will be murder on the dance floor with some nasty zimmer frame collisions. shorty

i remember that Luther gig, think half of Manchester that didn't have tickets was trying to break in, great venue though the Apollo. anything bigger than there is just too big for me. right back on thread , as a fifteen year old at the casino think it was clarks nature treks then polyvelts for me . did the job , got me past mrs. woods, god bless her. must have looked ridiculous . Herringbone jacket from hepworths [ remember them ] 40 inch spencers and the afore mentioned shoes . got some funny looks at Victoria station ! remember all the hard core boys in M's in leather brogues. shorty

didn't know Gene had put the single out as well shorty
