Sadly true mate.

Rest in Peace Dennis Edwards.

A truly awesome Soul artist.

Sean

Cheers Steve. I'll buy the beer on Saturday.

(Not all night, of course!).

It does appear to be the case, according to BBC.

Sean

Sad news. Geoff B summed it up perfectly. One of my earliest introductions to Soul. A giant of a Soul Singer. Rest In Peace.

Sean

"Gimme little action" - very much in the same vein as "Touch me with your love" to my ears.   

 

Just a bit better than Sylvia's version on Vibration...   

 

Sylvia Gimme a little action.jpg

Your ears don't fail you JB.

Both songs written in a partnership with one Arlinda Whitehead.

Sean

did he ever record a version of this sean?

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siIaIlVF_MU

I haven't heard one Sean.

It's a really great record.

Common enough on 12" but I've always seen it as pretty scarce and always quite pricey for a major label 80's 45.

Still, worth every penny for the quality mate!

Sean

Is Sam doing any live appearances these days ?

Hi there, sadly not. He's gone very quiet these past few years.

Most doubt he'll ever tour again.

Sean

Thanks all, some triffic recent additions to the list.

We've smashed through the 100 and I'm ready to call that quits, if you are!

I'll finish the list off with something that featured a lot in my 'early hours' sets this past couple of years. A stunning piece of 'Inspirational Crossover' and a great vocal performance on a fairly topical track from the Fantastic Violinaires.

Play it loud and enjoy!

Cheers all and thanks again.

Your contributions are enjoyed and appreciated by us all.

Thanks Benji.

I've always thought this was a fantastic tune and wondered how someone could fit it in to any spot other than a slower/left field early doors set.  Another record I think is in the same vain is Walter Wolfman Washington - You Got Me Worried on Hep'Me another top tune IMVHO

 Nice one John.

Any other left fielders you'd like to recommend?

I hope you're well mate.

Don't know if these are 'tips' that would have legs for many DJ's around, but here's just a few I've been playing pretty extensively this past few years that I'd love to see become wider accepted!

The Lovelles - Pretending Dear - Atco

Curtis Mayfield - Show Me Love - Curtom

Joe Hinton - Don't Tell Her The Truth - Dunhill

Soul Stirrers - Trying To Be Your Friend - Jewel

Smokey Robinson / Miracles - Don't Say Ypu Love Me - Tamla

O'Jays - Its Too Strong - Neptune

The Sapphires - I Found Out Too Late - Swan

Moody Scott - We've Got To Save It - 77

Hill Sisters - Oh My Love - Space

Dontells - Tell The World - VJ

Arthur Alexander - Stay By Me - Previously Unissued

Bobby Womack / Valentinos - I've Got Love For You - Previously Unissued

Sam Dees - Gimme A Little Action - Previously Unissued - Out this month!

Will add clips, if I find em!

Sean

Nice one Kev.

You're normally a bit more on the ball!

Sean

So it looks as though we manage to get to 50!

Don't think I've ever seen such a varied list - from Tony Brook to the Winans - Such diversity probably represents the incredibly range of playlists and assortment of venues and tastes around these days!

The strictly 'on the fours' playlist seems to be a thing of the past.

Thanks for the contributions all.

A very worthwhile release from the Fabulous Impressions.

Worth mentioning that the group will be performing at the Prestatyn Soul Weekender in March next year (2014) and will be performing this number!

Sean

Sad news, always been a huge Stairsteps fan

RIP Clarence. 

Couple of pics of me and Tats at Fame and Muscle Shoals Sound, Jackson Highway, a few years ago.

Shot dozens of photographs and an hour or two of video there.

Just the coolest place on earth.

 

Sean

Rest In Peace George. For me the world is a better place because you were in it.
