You are spot on regarding Freddie Gorman,he was part of the Holland-Dozier - Gorman writing team at Motown and i have been told that he was elbowed out of Motown when Eddie Holland no longer wanted to be a singer and wanted to join his brother Brian and Lamont Dozier as part of their writing team.

Great to see Dean being interviewed instead of it being the other way round,absolute top guy and hoping to catch up with him later in the year.

Still looking for this,must be mint or Mint - pm me if you can help. Cheers. Chris.

Like yourself Robb,i think the version credited to Pat Lewis is another take by Terry Bryant.The drumming on the so called Pat Lewis version is much more pronounced and i am assuming that this is George Mcgregor himself playing the drums.

Beautiful mint - copy of this rare misspelt white promo,one has just sold today on a dealers list in vg++ condition for £300. Asking £275 plus postage. Pm if interested. Cheers. Chris.

Another one that fits into both the soul scene and low rider is Ej and the echoes-Put a smile on your face,i was told this sold very well in Detroit as it was played at high school proms and house parties,i think the fact that the white promo is quite scarce while the stock copy is common is a good indicator of that.

All the copies of Sonny Parker have slowley dried up,mint or mint - is around £900.

Listen to Sonny Parker -What can i do,this is very sought after on the low rider scene and is far from being weak.

There is also a big Low Rider scene in Los Angeles.

I first started going to nighters properly in late 76 so i have gone through several eras of the scene.There is hardly a day goes by that wigan is not being talked about and yet in my opionion stafford dose not get any where near the recognition it deserves,this nighter brought a new genre of soul music of ballads and beat ballads to the scene,many coming from the belgian popcorn scene.Without stafford i think many of the slower songs that have now become classics would not have seen the light of day.

Phew,thanks for the feedback Robb.

It's around that time that i first heard it Chalky.

Totaly agree,very underplayed.
