Couldn't find this on You Tube? Contemplations(The Dontee Studio Band)-Alone With No Love Dontee

Ted One of my "new" inst faves Cheers Martyn

Bazza T'other side of "Rat Race" Cheers Martyn

Sooty If you are looking for the best version (imo) of Green Onions get Righteous Brothers Band (played it out last Saturday,sounded great) Cheers Martyn

I'm an inst fan & always have been. Harlem Rumble would be there or thereabouts number 1 for me,along with On The Brink & Guy's old Lord Thunder C/U (Blockbusters-Muddy pt2). I must admit I usually go for the vocal side if there is one above the inst side,Boogie Man Orch springs to mind although the inst side sounds great out the vocal side just blows it away.Just to contradict myself I've just bought a Contemplations-Alone With No Love Dontee although I had a Rock Candy copy but that's the only way you can get the inst & what a corker it is. Should they be played..........of course they should.The argument shouldn't be about there soul content the argument should be is "Northern" a dance scene first or soul scene? Cheers Martyn

Steve ..........steady you'll be getting me a bad reputation Cheers Martyn

Paul Haven't you got owt to do at work Cheers Martyn

Keep up Harry,Sooty's already mentioned it & another one I was beat to Cheers Martyn

Byrney Beat me to it! Don't know about been played at a party it should be played out more imo.I do get some strange(no pun intended ) looks when I play it to people & say it should be a monster (sorry couldn't resist ). Cheers Martyn

Mick A tune I thought I'd never own but got it at a great price off evil bay.Three little clicks near the end & a slightly grubby label or it would be mint,well chuffed. Cheers Martyn

Mick I'm jealous Cheers Martyn

This landed last week,nice issue to. The Sparkles-Try Love (Just One More Time) Old Town

Mick Could find room for this in my collection,been on the wants list for far to long.Nice one Cheers Martyn

Don At this rate you won't have an records left for tomorrow Cheers Martyn

Bri My wifes fave tune & one of mine,lyrically one of the best ever wrote imo,so powerful Cheers Martyn

Jean Austin-I Don't Have To Worry Ark Love this This is one of at least three versions that I know of that she's done of this song.There's a funky version on You Tube which sounds a lot later? Cheers Martyn

:lol: No worries son. Cheers Martyn

Barney You're doing it again...........why do newcomers get preferential treatment?Why do they feel put out if they aren't made to feel as if they are a long lost brother on there first visit?I think you'll find if you turn up at a night more then once/twice you'll start to get a nod & you go from there.This is nothing to do with the northern scene this is normal group behaviour, it's beyond me that people expect to be made feel special on first meeting? Cheers Martyn

Peter Feel free to come out with us,we'll oblige Cheers Martyn

Barney Think Kev was a tad harsh but he also makes a good point of you've got to make an effort aswell,I've run a night & the early part of the night is quite fraught as you are worrying enough people are going to turn up,is the equipment working OK,has the guest dj turned up etc.So someone coming in sitting down out the way are easily missed.What I'm trying to say is you need to put yourself out there to get some reaction back,I'm not saying butt into conversations of people you don't know but a nod on the way in & a word at the bar helps break the ice?Then if you still feel frozen out you are able to make that comment because you tried. Cheers Martyn

Roy My only answer to that is............Willie Hutch-When A Boy Falls In Love RCA Cheers Martyn

John You say the nicest things...........about our lass I'd like to argue with you but I can't really Yes all good over here hope the same can be said for you & the boss Cheers Martyn

Bazza All-right I'll give over,it's R n B...............nah my head still says it isn't,so sorry my head wins Cheers Martyn

The scenes always took in waifs & strays,think of some the characters over the years,you wouldn't want them let loose on everyday people with nothing in there lives.I'm still waiting for the cheque off the NHS for care in the community But there seem to a train of thought that people who are just dipping there toe into the scene should be catered for on an equal footing or in some cases given preferential treatment when they should come & find out our ways & fit in accordingly.It isn’t an off the peg scene,it’s made to measure & you have to keep going back for frequent fittings until you find the correct size?If that's too much like hard work well off you trot & find something else to do with your time. Cheers Martyn

Spot See back to my original point of all having variations of categories...........I think Lonnie Lester at best is boarder-line R n B,I just think it's a brilliant northern dancer but not R n B?So were back I don't give a toss what you lot think my heads says it's not R n B so I've got to got with that.....simple(well I am a bit ) Cheers Martyn
