Nice description of the 2nd wave .. I never made it to Bensons though
ATB
Simon
ps. Does anyone still like Pockets "Catch me" Arc 7 or 12 .. I think its great
Ive heard it loud on my studio speakers Steve .. may be ok for a pub gig , or Radio show
just my opinion , Stevens and Foster popped up on a soul bowl list early 80's with a couple of others on that lable ? if memory serves me right .
If your talking about RIP "I'm Trying" on Rip-Pro its very average IMHO , just like Henderson and Jones , although H&J has a decent lead vocal , and is a better tempo
Some of the Soulful house does belong in a house club yep i agree ! , but there's some that is good enough , you'd have to ask Martin Dixon though as he knows what works at todays niters better than me ..
