I take it then Kev that there is no November date already set as it was (is) running as a monthly do is it not? Only been once earlier this year and would like to go again but cannot go this Sat. Hopefully it will survive. KTF Drew.

Is there to be a 100 Club niter between now and Christmas whatever happens to the club in the longterm? KTF. Drew.

Manchester Cornerhouse added today. Friday 10th to Thursday 16th Sept. KTF. Drew.

Sorry to start another thread on this but I haven't got time to trawl other threads to see if my question can be answered there. The Soulboy official site has a number of limited venues around the country starting tonight and the nearest for me is Wigan which is not that easy to get to from where I live and I can only go next Wednesday evening (the film is only on in Wigan until 9th Sept). The site says look out for other venues to be added but I don't want to miss it at Wigan if say Manchester is not going to be added later. Does anyone know for certain if other towns/cities will be added or does anyone know how I can ask the production company this question as the site does not seem to have a 'contact us' button? Thanks in advance. KTF. Drew.

Is this the same Peggy March who sang If You Loved Me? KTF. Drew.

Drowning my sorrows after United's loss so this is one of my late night wine induced posts. Once again I've simply been browsing Refosoul and just listened to a belter. I thought I'd heard most of Smokey Robinson & The Miracles' best tunes but I had never heard "Special Occasion". Fantastic!!!! Thanks 45celler for putting the tune up. Motown at the root of what we love once again. And just how good is this site for hearing something new (even if it is 40 odd years old)!!!! Always learning. KTF. Drew.

I've said it several times on here before, Kentucky Rain is very much a soulful record as far as I'm concerned. Anyone able to post up a Youtube Clip. There are several on Youtube but I don't know how to do it. If some kind person would post one up the simple recording of the song (with stills of Elvis) is the clearest as opposed to the 'live' footage ones. KTF. Drew.

Thanks Mick. It's not in Refosoul as far as I can tell. Anyone able to post it up? Not great vocals and obviously a very young girl singing (Brian M said that she was only 12 yrs old!!) but the tune behind the vocals was pretty good IMHO. KTF. Drew.

Debbie Doval (not sure of the spelling of the surname). Can't remember the song's title either. Anyone able to post it up? Cheers. KTF. Drew.

Absolutely F**king awful!!!!!!!! KTF. Drew.

One of the first tunes to really hit me as a kid Stevie. Went with my mother to a local boys/mens outfitters to buy my first Crombie and picked up the album Otis Sings The Blues from a box by the door!!!. I had already started to listen to Motown but this blew me away when I got it home. I think I still have the album in the garage; mainly blue cover with the face of a white model!!! Typical!!! KTF. Drew.

Thanks folks. KTF. Drew.

How do I get to hear this now that the Youtube stream has been removed? KTF. Drew.

........ Bill Oddie mentioned in the same sentence on Sounds of the Sixties this morning. Apparently the record played was a favourite in soul clubs in the 60's according to our Brian. The record was pretty average in my opinion sounding very much like a Gene Pitney track. Anyone got the record (I can't remeber what it was called) and more to the point has anyone on here ever heard it played anywhere? KTF. Drew.

My apologies for being a bit thick Pete but how do I get to listen? I've clicked on the links in two of the posts and all that comes up is a box saying "Invalid address"!!!! KTF. Drew.

It's probably seen in some quarters (my own on occasions) as an 'overplayed oldie', but Timi Yuro's It'll Never Be Over For Me is my 'falling in love with that tune again' of late. I'm a bit of a ballad fan and when listened to this tune ticks all of the boxes for me; fantastic vocals, superb lyrics and music and arrangement to die for; and it has historical mileage on the scene. So, any others fitting this bill that are 'floating your boat' at present? KTF. Drew.

...............are actually B sides. Not being a collector or DJ I would have no real idea. I'm anticipating some surprises here. KTF. Drew.

Someone told me that you're only 12. KTF. Drew.

This is probably the most arrogant, self-indulgent post I've ever read on here. Who the flying f*ck are you to say when and where others can and can't listen to the music they love. Who are you to say that anyone who did other things rarther than going to niters in the 80s and has returned to whatever fooking do they choose somehow doesn't count to this scene now. Who the tw*tting hell are you to say that someone who loves soul music but only listens on the web is any less a soul lover than you!!! In fact who the sodding hell are you!!!!. More red wine induced ranting from yours truley. I thank you and good night. KTF. Drew.

Fair enough. KTF. Drew.

OK. It's just gone 1am and I'm full of red wine and I know that I am going to regret this but here goes: Whilst I would never attempt to take on more knowledgeable folk than I, and I certainly wouldn't wish to piss on such a positive thread, and I am willing to listen with 'open ears' but, am I missing something here? Most of what has been posted on this thread (and all are great feel good, make you smile records) would have been scoffed at by this scene 30 odd yrs ago as mainstream, chart, pop/disco records, would they not? Oh bollocks to it, Hawaii 5-0 makes me grin from cheek to cheek!!!! My nomination is: Back Street..Edwin Starr. KTF. Drew.

Nicked and slightly adapted from the title of a thread recently posted: The Soul of York City. KTF. Drew.

Hello Fingers. I feel privlleged to have been part of this and I'm sure that goes for all others on here who have responded to Pete's call for help . Also, like many others on here, you and I have never met. However, that doesn't matter as I think that people realised that your circumstances could happen to any of us at any time. Maybe it was simply Christmas spirit, maybe it would have been the same at any other time of the year, I don't know. None of us can change all the ills of the world but because some people on here (Pete S, Simsy and Imberboy) were thinking of others on Christmas Eve I think it simply reminded us (it did me) that completing the shopping or worrying about how many presents the kids were getting is not the most important thing in the world. This has been a good deed; not by me contributing a few quid but because people like Pete and Simsy had a friend's (or even a stranger's in Imberboy's case) needs to the fore of their thinking at a time when it is all too easy for us to be a little self indulgent. From what others have said about you Fingers I suspect you would have been the instigator of such a thread if it was happening to somone else that you knew. You don't have to justify yourself at all. Here's to you beating this Fingers. All the very best and KTF. Drew.

The above should read "Trying to PM you Pete". How the hell does the PM'ing thingy work?. I think I've only ever used it to reply to a Pm. Pete, maybe you could pm me and I'll reply. Help please!!!! KTF. Drew.

PM'd you Pete. KTF. Drew.
