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)

As well as appearing on the David Frost show, Gerri Granger featured on 'from David Frost & Billy Taylor, Merry Christmas' - Bell Records ‎– Bell 6053.

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.

Ah- cut and paste gone wrong. collection and the civics.

Hi, If anyone wants to let this go, (and i can afford it🙄) please get in touch. Thanks Ken

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...

@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?

PM'ed you Neil

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.

He (Richard) was always polite with me...and I never met Sir Terry Wogan ( but neither do I scorn his award)

New Orleans’s original White Negro

I can feel an OPO (original play only) thread looming😉

That’s probably why I said “it didn’t have the same impact - for me” ..etc.

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

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?

this 45 may not have surfaced if it wasn't for Chuck Barksdale. He got Calvin Carter to sign them- (god bless Boba for his interviews.) The Dontells.

uplifting...coming home...meeting ya girl again....

Dick Griffey and the Whispers rush-released and changed the “ending lyrics” from ‘Oh by the way tell our next door neighbors their son got blown away' –TO- ‘their son will be home anyday’. Why? – because as they were in the recording studio a Vietnam peace settlement was announced.

I was playing out some stuff today and realised i had a fair amount that were Vietnam related. I'm sure there are many more. Here’s a few i picked out of mine.... What's in yours?
