Was it you or someone else who posted this on a different thread recently? I really like it and said on the other thread that the intro reminded me of this - and it still does!

One I've been spinning for the last few years. Absolutely love this - stunning soul music. Wonderful lyrics as he pays tribute to Bobby Womack, Al Green, James Brown and Marvin - clever stuff. I suspect he wrote a few of those.
Peter
George's southern accent just oozed soul - even when he was just speaking. He was one hell of a cool guy. I love some of the pictures of him which have been used over the years - even in his senior years he was the man!

One of my favourite writers, producers and performers - by miles. Sad news indeed. Thank you George for your wonderful legacy.
You opened up my heart Sir.

Yes, 28 is no age is it.
From things I've read she had diabetes and died at home in between shows. For someone so young the girl left some musical legacy which is clearly appreciated by many. Her voice lives on.

I know and hear where you're coming from Richard. I don't know too much about Linda to be honest. Always been a big fan of JCLML and ISGIFY and know a few others but the thread - like so many others, has been a learning curve.
Nice one.
Peter
As a "Trad Northern" tune it's as good as anything in my book. Great driving dancer. These days I'm mainly 70's mid tempo man - but this would get me dancing.
Peter
Bit of a belated post! I love the Kenny Gamble Phil - top drawer soul/dance record in my opinion. I haven't heard it for ages. I mentioned it a while ago on another thread and the record was dissed! I never knew it was such an opinion splitter - mind you plenty of folk about who wouldn't know a good record if it poked em in the eye!
Peter
Richie Havens is getting some exposure and plays at the minute. And rightly so - it has that magical something about it. Spyder Turner is great too and up until quite recently I didn't know of the Richie version which I understand is the original.
Nice set with regards to the drink too buddy - just building and building!
I've been playing some 70's tonight and dippping into the SS Record of the Day (Daves thread)
Peter
Interesting thread about a record I never knew existed. Not a bad version is it - but Larry Santos is a storming dance record which would be difficult for anyone to better.
Peter
I was reading this thread scratching my brain about some brilliant poems that had been posted on here before - couldn't think who. Then saw Malcs old post - it was indeed Swish. I'll try and find the thread.
Peter
What about the Greg Perry It Takes Heart - where he sings the bit about "You can move a car". Not necessarily crazy - just crap! Couldn't think of anything else to rhyme.
Great record though.
Peter
Yep, that is interesting. The only reason I didn't buy that one is that I have most of it on other stuff - nothing to do with Kev. I might be a bit prejudiced against "stompers" lol!
Anyway, it's a job well done and I shall enjoy them.
