    I bet any Gen X or Millennials reading this topic would laugh. Pills to keep you awake and “up” to carry on dancing until 8. Hardly gonna worry Columbia drug lords, even though the 60’s/70’s UK DS would have had “the public” believe so.

    I don't know anything about the records obscurity, but there's quite bit known about Black Jack.

    More information about "Northern Soul Connections #35 - Latest Issue from Kenb"
    Now at #35 in the long running informative 'Northern Connections' series by @Kenb. Northern Connections # 35 - Child Of Friendship, Train Robbers The eagle-eyed amongst you will have spotted two different addresses on the 2 versions of Natural Records 1516. 1516 25th Ave versus 1510 16th St. The latter being a small room and the location for Black Unity, Inc-at least from 1971 to 1974. Black Unity, Inc was incorporated in 1967 and was essentially founded to raise the political consciousness of black people through education. Whether this 'room' at 1510 16th St was vacated before the (apparent) release date and therefore has nothing to do with Black Unity, Inc. - OR - whether the release date is inaccurate (perhaps earlier than 1976) and it does have a Black Unity, Inc connection? I don't know.

    Hi Paul, @Paul-s, the thought of anyone having lessons ( back in the day) would have been laughable. If known, you’d have to hide from your mates never to be seen again. equally £22 a week for “skilled “ turners, fitters, etc , let alone apprentices ( as I was) would rule it out anyway. finally, teaching-wise, no one would even know what Northern Soul was, let alone Northern Soul dancing.

    I'm interested. And my explanation is, I have no issue with 1977 or the dancing of that tme. But that's not what goes on today ( which will become the norm).
  10. Kenb
    the thing is though... when we are all dead ( probably me not too far in the distant future) 'their' dancing will be the norm.

    the bad news is...if i can't dance ( because of my knee), i won't come. the good news is...I've recently had injections for my knee, so i'm coming

    It's definately the same Marty Lewis who was involved with Soulin' Record Co at 1812 Constantinople, N.O. But i thought Flame Records ( and Emalf [Flame backwards] Music Pub) was someone else's. Big Deal records, or maybe Marty himself was at one time located in Cheneyville, just South of Alexandria. Not sure which.
  13. Kenb
    me too

    back in 2018 i did a piece on Philharmonics ( New Orleans, Isaac Bolden, etc). i have a few notes from then... Marty was ( i believe ) a construction worker who won a talent comp about 1955/56. Coincidentally, Kenny Guidry and The Clouds of Joy were runners up.I don't know if the 'Joy biit' has anythng to do with Oliver Joy. @Michael Bailey

    @Frost Byte https://garagehangover.com/new-york-public-library-gigs-1966-1970/ this should help, i hope

    I doubt this would get played at a nighter/or real deal venue. Although watzit (Ms Junoff) and many others ‘did get a go’. I quite like it. But I’d leave if I heard it out at a venue.

    What a mammoth task. Congrats Steve

    I think DJ’s get (are getting) a bad rap on these topics of late. No…I’m not a DJ, and don’t want to be a DJ. In the majority of cases, many of the DJ’s play lists (I hear out) seem very mixed with new and old(er). From ‘younger’ DJ’s like Jordan to our ‘ faithful’ DJ’s, it all seems pretty good to me. So where are those ‘lazy’ DJ’s everyone’s banging on about who play ‘same old, same old’- I’ve obviously missed them.

    wasn't it Domain 1st, then Megaphone? Sepe and Brooks Megaphone label only really started late '67 early '68.

    not fond of camera's at venues at all. At least 'Skippy Sue' (R.I.P) would ask first. i've seen them held up to Shazam 'tunes' which seems a bit over the top.

    I'll leave it there...because unlike you i don't have to win best ken

    here's one Paul. You can't have it both ways fella. i.e a Manefesto of unwritten rules and then when challenged in a topic you make that challenge Public. Especially if the person on the receiving end of the perceived 'slant' feels it's just plain unjust. another of the unwritten rules of yesteryear, sort it out. what happens in PM should stay in PM.

    Ralphie D= may well have been Italian/Amercan from Florida...and potentially a radio D.J. from that area

    @Bunderthollox https://billleslie.com/about/ and, Bill Covington who plays piano on “Peaceful Journey” was the keyboardist for the Cyntriks

    i don't think it's catalogued correctly on discogs. i.e. United Record Profile: Sublabel of Blanco y Negro. Jim Stanton did do stuff (eng) at United Music World/United Low Country Records. These are Columbia, South Carolina. hope it helps? P.S. Soul Ufonics (from Bamberg, S.C)
