  1. well if its's UK...The Chants covered Sweetest Feeling. which included Eddie Amoo (Chris's brother of The Real Thing).
  2. do you mean The Sugar Lumps on Uptown 'Won't You Help Me'? are they on LP somewhere?
  3. seeing as it is Motown's 60 yr celebration weekend... In 1970 Diana bought the Beverly Hills mansion owned by Donald Factor, son of Max Factor the make-up king. Price $300,000. Whereas, this was her childhood home on Belmont St, Detroit.
  4. Jean Terrell had a puppy called Floy-Joy. It was around the time she was with Lynda Laurence and Mary (Mary's puppy was a gift from Flip Wilson).
  5. a good start would be to see the 'Selling up ... Question' thread posted in July
  6. I haven’t had time to read the article yet and this may be in the article, Mark’ s book, or elsewhere so if this is mentioned before then sorry)- Jimi played with Joey Dee and The Starlighters for 7 months ( after he played behind the Isley Bros)
  7. As well as appearing on the David Frost show, Gerri Granger featured on 'from David Frost & Billy Taylor, Merry Christmas' - Bell Records ‎– Bell 6053.
  8. Ritz. Mid 80’s. I know not which year? memorable for 2 reasons; 1. There was a buzz about a recent UK appearance of Popcorn Wylie. 2. It was my one and only ‘return’ until about 2012.
  9. Ah- cut and paste gone wrong. collection and the civics.
  10. Hi, If anyone wants to let this go, (and i can afford it) please get in touch. Thanks Ken
  11. We’ll...I tried a couple of times with difficulty in the past and just gave up. So I sympathise with you. However i’m sure someone will tell me it’s just me. Just saying...
  12. Joe @JC1994 type in Under £20 in the search bar...there are lots of threads from the SS folks that will help you. atb in your search, Ken
  13. Hi, If anyone wants to let this go VG+ or better, please PM me. Barbara Mercer ‎– "So Real / Call On Me, on Sidra" thanks in advance Ken
  14. @Blackpoolsoul During the article research, I spent hours looking through Obit’s, etc, and never found any ancestry connection on any (relevant) Blevins for ‘a Boyd’. I couldn’t find any connection with Mary Blevins, Paul (Windy/Wendy) Blevins, or any of the Blevins associated with the Popcorn supplies and equipment outfit located on Charlotte Ave, Nashville. I did find Boyd Blevins turning up on Jim Stanton’s Rich-R-Tone 8015 Gross Brothers, “The Little Puppy (You Gave Me)”, 1968. Gross Brothers did appear on WZIP (see Northern Connections #19 para Writer Dyche, for more on WZIP & Ray Pennington ). I also found Charlie Boyd as writer on Champ 2004, The Minors “ Lonely Boy / Unchained Melody” (not Charles Boyd from Chicago). But who knows?

  17. Sad news indeed. When I was researching the Philharmonics (and Tony Owens) Northern Connection number(?), many of the people I spoke to and contacted by other means always raised his name, and whenever I read anything to do with N.O. music history he was right there. RIP.
  18. He (Richard) was always polite with me...and I never met Sir Terry Wogan ( but neither do I scorn his award)
  19. New Orleans’s original White Negro
  20. I can feel an OPO (original play only) thread looming
  21. That’s probably why I said “it didn’t have the same impact - for me” ..etc.
  22. 2 weeks ago Mossley Am Dram(MAODS) put Once A Time...on at George Lawton Hall. The 2 girls and 2 guys were fantastic...But (just me this) it didn’t have the impact from nigh on 20 yrs early at Oxford road. And although I think Kev did the after show set...I was left feeling I was amongst civilians. i know, it’s me, I’m just too old
  23. I wonder what the conversation would have been like(if any)...had 2 six ft USA black guys wearing white vests and bandanas had been there?
