  3. I think it was during this visit to the UK that he appeared in the film 'It's Trad Dad'(awful) doing 'Another Tear Falls' which was far and away the best part of the film IMO. I really like 'Anyone Else' by Gene, very cheesy perhaps but it sounds good to me!

  8. Hi. I don't have the record but I thought you might be interested in this. I saw the band at an Aretha Franklin concert in the 60s. I still have the programme and I've scanned their page. As you can see it mentions this record as their new release. They weren't bad by the way!

  13. Further to the two articles I've previously posted about the early Blues & Soul Magazine I've dug out my copy of the Jazz Scene Magazine from August 1962, I was a sprightly 15 year old at that time. It cost me one shilling and sixpence! I bought it because Ray Charles was on the cover. I've recently re-read the Alexis Korner article ‘Tin Pan Alleleujah’ and I thought it was interesting because he was clearly trying to come up with a word for the fusion of Gospel & R&B that became known as ‘Soul’ and came up with ‘Gospop’! Thankfully it didn't last and ‘Soul’ stuck! I think the article is a good example of how the birth of Soul was being delivered in the media. I was buying Record Mirror at the time and Norman Jopling in particular was championing the ‘new sound’ in the mainstream press and highlighting artists such as The Isley Bros & James Brown in his articles. Record Mirror used to have an annual poll of favourite artists and the winners of the Best Female Group in 1962/3 was The Miracles! At least people were listening to their records. Anyway I hope you enjoy reading about the early beginnings of this scene we love so much. Cheers, John

  15. You said in your original post that it 'has soul'. Do you think it has or not?

  17. I only made the post because the inital poster wrote 'I know it isn't northern but it's got soul and it's very. Anyone got a copy of the LP they wanna sell'. it's good we agree it doesn't have soul. I like stuff by Spanky & Our Gang - Sunday Will Never Be The Same has incredible vocals and lots of other non soul stuff too so I don't want to give the impression that I am too much of a 'Soul Snob' just a bit of a one.
  18. The Wants Forum has requests for tracks by great soul artists like Jr Walker, Etta James, Buddy Ace, Marie Knight, Barbara Mason, I can't help but get a horrible shudder when I see anything by Sandie Shaw being requested on there alongside those names. I suppose I will have to accept that I missed out on something significant in the 60s and shouldn't have stampeded to the radio/TV whenever she came on to turn it off. I've listened to the track being requested and cannot hear anything 'soulful' in it IMO.
  19. For the second article highlighting Dave Godin's Column from Blues & Soul, the scans feature the readers choice. The first scan is from Issue 44, 1970. As you will see Dave Godin asked readers to send in their favourite sounds. I remember one or two names, I get a mention I am at the top of Column 2 "John Evans from Colwyn Bay" picking a Ben E King flip side which is probably still my favourite track today! You will notice a couple of paragraphs below my name check is Derek Howe from That Beating Rhythm! Also fascinating is the mention of the alleged Motown/Mafia connection which obviously must have concerned a few people at the time. The following two scans are the 'We Get Letters' column from issue 49, December 1970. You will see the names of a few stalwarts of the scene, some of whom are Soul Source members, do you get a name check?

  21. Is it me or what but I enjoyed the film and caught myself laughing out loud a few times. I doubt there will ever be an 'accurate' drama/film about how people 'lived' northern soul so I just enjoyed the daft story.
  22. Blues & Soul Article Preparing For Visit To Wheel plus Soul Fans Name Checks...are you mentioned? Here are scans for the B&S issue 48, December 1970 where DG announces his plans to visit The Wheel, interestingly there were concerns about it being closed down then! I will post up the report on the actual visit soon. Blues & Soul Report Dave Godin Visit To Twisted Wheel & Pictures My latest Public Service Post! B&S number 50. The iconic report of DG's visit to The Wheel. If anyone recognises themselves in the pics or recognises others who are still into Soul Music, perhaps they could post their info on here + anyone who was there but is not in the pics? Later on I will post up issues where DG gives name checks to those who wrote into him about soul records, maybe you are in there?! Blues & Soul 1975 Dave Godin Column 'Northern Soul Is Dead' Shock This DG B&S column is in issue #170 September 1975. Reading it again reminded me how disappointing his columns could be sometimes, especially when he went on a rant about something. Commercialisation insofar as ‘dumbing down’ the essence of Soul music was a relevant topic but could have been adequately covered in 2/3 paragraphs IMO. However, I was particularly interested in his scathing review of the re-release of Lorraine Ellison’s ‘Stay With Me’ which he describes as artificial, fraudulent & insincere, an opinion he formed when it was first released. He goes on to say in his view it is a ‘cunningly calculated exercise in plastics emotion’ He also wonders ‘how much calculated conniving went into its creation’ and that L.E. was ‘probably putty in the hands of her producers’ phew! He then goes on to compare it with ‘True Deep Soul’ such as Piece Of My Heart, Erma Franklin and Soul numbers sung by artists like Irma Thomas. What surprises me is that DG doesn’t seem to know or ignores the fact that Piece Of My Heart and many of the great Irma Thomas songs e.g. Time Is On My Side were written and often produced by the same writer/producer as Stay With Me, Jerry Ragavoy. J.R. also created great Deep Soul with Garnet Mimms & Howard Tate and many others. This column was written about 8 years after the song came out and Jerry Ragavoy was pretty well known by then yet he isn’t mentioned in the review as maybe having a lapse in taste in DG’s view. I happen to think he was wrong by the way but obviously he was entitled to his opinion but maybe he did not know as much as he thought or he was guilty of shoddy research. No surprise he gives 5 stars to his employer’s Contempo album release! Comments anyone?
  23. Soul Source member Slimharpo posted three excellent topics highlighting some of Dave Godin's columns in Blues and Soul from the early and mid 70's giving a great insight into the earlier days of the scene. I've brought the three forum topics together for John into one article. Sit back and reminisce. Tap to view this Soul Source News/Article in full
