Yeh Chalky ... he has the voice and to consider it looks or sounds live singing you can understand him sounding a little different plus it's old clip.... I hope it's him as I've wondered what he looked like since the day I first heard him (as you do)😁😁 Dave L

Heard that very same show... my jaw dropped too at the Just Brothers too!

Remember buying that still got it somewhere... a boot of course....

That's the one Chalky 👍.... do you know /think if it could possibly be him?

Gotta agree Pete it probably went to another level at Clifton Hall... Dave

My copy was purchased at the casino £4....(although I didn't buy it ... my mate bought it ,who I got it off later) course it was definitely played at WC.... both sides are fabulous to my ears.... I did put a thread up a few months ago regarding CJ.. someone kindly added the you tube clip I was referring to a group performing 'disco inferno with a Charles Johnson on lead.... to my ears it could be the same guy on the clip.... Dave L

Nice list mate... thaz keen as mustard😁... hope you both well... Dave

Thanks for posting Mickey... what do you think?... could he be THE Charles Johnson his voice to my ears sounds like he could have the delivery for the end of the Alston 45 'never..etc...'

The breathing was ruby snoring 😂😂

Nah then Baz and Shelly...thanks for the comments... what a laugh we had ... god knows what the 'twang' was .. I think it was summat Derek was wearing 😂... hope you'r both well... Dave

Anyone else seen the sky arts programme about ' disco' recorded it other week and decided to watch it the other day ... went through the usual disco drivel when a clip come up with Herb Reed (of the Platters) 'disco inferno '.... the group has live backing band etc .... I thought 'hell lead singer is good'... then it came up on the bottom of the screen the lead singer is Charles Johnson.....just wondering if this is THE Charles Johnson of Alston fame... he sounds like he could be to my ears...I hope it is him as I've often wondered what he looked like... wonder if hrs still alive?... the clip is on YouTube too if anybody can post the link up... I don't know how to...apologies in advance if this has been discussed before but I couldn' find owt.... Dave Longbottom

Haven't heard of dobre 45... crazy beat did one legal of course... I'm sure glyn thornhill had it on here and doesn't mention dobre 45... but I stand to be corrected .. and sure that gene townsel himself confirmed the balance town 45 was a boot

Been a thread before about this 45... pretty sure it' a confirmed boot..

'Love on loan was big tune at Phoenix/Pitches Rotherham around '97... probably 'don't get off on me' was played but 'love on loan' was the one for me...if memory servesme right it' penned by Tommy Tate...didnt know about any vinyl of this back then it was CD track off 'the equal opportunity 'album ...but then again Johnnie Taylor's 'real love was big too and thought to be malaco CD only ..but I picked up the vinyl album of this in white sleeve no cover... great duet with Willie Clayton on the Pat Brown album Dave L

Totally agree and the dreadful 'fake soul' of Ellie Brooks "rising cost of love"... and the other single she had out not so long since..

I did this a couple of years ago...i rang PayPal direct (Ireland)within 10 mins they reimbursed money to my account...they suspend the recipient who should have responded to my request to send money back or if he's enough in his account they take it out of his ...paypal was great with my experience of this ... hope this helps Dave L

Yep tis on demo too ady Tab Dave L

Love the .."your love was good for me"....the deep "lost someone " off the same album is another favourite of mine....the man was a genius ... Dave L

Totally agree kev...i was pissed off at the thought of Cowell and his cronies judging 'our ' Masqueraders but then it came to me it's a sort of envy/jealous thing that you get when you see the look on someone's face when hearing what you heard that first time...i hope they get all the riches and hope someone drops the grapevine CD in the judges laps...Lee Jones...truck driving...Bill Brandon was too... Dave L

Pmd you
