Hi Mark I hope you are very well. Certainly of interest to me. Your projects are an extremely important, and relevant, part of our music. The history and the stories that inform your work are also crucial in respect of the struggles of our black African American brothers and sisters. Very inspirational Mark, well done, such a huge amount of work; it's a shame that more people don't appear to visit your posts. A big thank you for continuing to help inform and educate us. Best wishes. Peter

"Whilst the nights aren't known for their heavy drinking". That's written as if it's a bad thing. Interestingly, there never seems to be any mention or discussion about the heavy d**g taking, which was of course as much of the original scene as the music; to most. Now, whether that's a good thing or not is debateable, what isn't debateable is it's authenticity. KTF Peter

Not really my cup of tea Mike; but, I've been scrolling channels all week trying to find something, so I'll have a look tonight. The German thriller I mentioned a few posts back is a cracker. (imo) Peter

Hi Steve Good to hear both Malc and Sean are ok. How are you keeping; still have your hand in any way? Thanks for the update. Peter

Malc used to post on here, quite a while ago now; but haven't heard him from anything from him on here or heard anything about him for ages. Decent man, friendly, very kind. I know Sean Hampsey was in touch with him regularly, but I've not heard or seen Sean for ages either? Peter

Bless you my Brother Thanks Graham, I appreciate that. I hope things are well with you. Your friend. Peter

Evening All Preacher Man, my friend, real name Paul, who is a retired Church Pastor, has a passing interest in our scene and music. (I talk to him quite about it) I send him bits and bobs including different records. I sent him Kenny Smith - Oh Lord................. Anyway he quite likes the record, aside from the obvious connection, and wanted to know all of the lyrics. I know quite a few of them having danced and listened to it for nigh on 50 years, but I don't know the lot. Anyone have a full set of lyrics please? Thanks. Peter

I look like a bag of flour!

Thanks chaps I'll have to try and find that later and give it a go. Peter

Hi Mark I hope you are keeping well. What a good thread, I hope we get lots of contributions. Regards Peter

Looking for a Friday night show to go with your dinner? I binge watched this little gem last night, and can recommend it highly. A German psychological thriller, dark and moody, with some really good character pieces - including the children. Give it a go................ Dear Child, Original title: Liebes Kind TV Mini Series 2023 - 4hours and 46 mins. IMDB 7.3 Peter

Great thread; very interesting, even if it has been done in part previously. Thanks for all the contributions from people in the know. Peter

I've run out of likes already! But, I like this very much, great pictures. Peter

Thanks for all the posts thus far; I've run out of likes, but I like everything that's been posted. Some really interesting picks/views and information. Great stuff. Peter

Catching up on the shows still, great stuff from Dean and the guests. Thanks for continuing to post them up Chalky. Peter

That's a good answer Billy; I got you thinking! You mention Gladys, I am toying, still, with either her of Aretha for my female pick. Based primarily on their amazing voices; not many matches. I'll split the hair before the afternoon is out. Good posts from everyone else too; thank you. Peter

Yep, Harry is a fave of mine; I have the Harry/Understand It on a 12 I bought yonks ago. It's very shabby condition now. Yes, I also agree with the live performance of Harry; I've posted a vid of that on here somewhere, a while ago.

That's a great start everyone; some fantastic picks! I know it's tough guys and gals. I've still got to choose a group and a female artist. I'm always undecided on the same two female artists. Peter

Do you have a favourite artist(s), you might have a few? You might have a favourite male artist, a favourite female artist, and then a favourite group? I know it's a really tough ask to pick just one artist from the myriad of artists that are available to choose from. You can pick more than one to keep the thread going. So, what's your pick, and then, what was the first track from that artist that you heard and then got you hooked. So; I'll kick us off. Bobby Womack is my favourite male artist, and Home is Where the Heart Is, was the first track that got me hooked. Go on, have a go; you can dither and have more than one go if you can't make your mind up. I hope that makes sense......................................

Which fragrance of perfumed talcum powder is the only fragrance permitted to be sprinkled on the dance floor at all niters?

Oh dear. Yes, you're right Simon. She did have an affair with the brother so perhaps I'm in with half a chance? But then again perhaps not. Ah well.

They just splodge it anywhere don't they! Peter

Hey! Bren is my new bird. Leave her alone. She's a fantastic actress; has done quite a bit of theatre/classical stuff. It's probably one of the best tv series, on normal tv for a long time. Thanks to SimonT, on here for giving it an early shout on this thread. Peter

I think the question has been asked/responded to previously on SS. Worth doing again though; I only mention it as some previous contributors may not be around anymore, and a previous search might have more answers/theories. Mods? Peter

I liked Kojak. Did you know that Stavros, was his real brother. Peter
