Tony Basil - one of the first Soul Train dancers- also danced on numerous films such as viva Las Vegas - at 74 years old she still got it and is an inspiration to us all - nothing to do, punch Toni Basil in on you tube  and be amazed

According to Manship...about the Henry Boatwright version:

a lead-singer with SOUL BROTHERS INC. Henry Boatwright offers up a forgotten Cleethorpes Pier classic..

Maybe Herman's Hermits version was confused with this ? Or maybe some adventurous dj did bang it out somewhere?

Zoomsoulblue...where did you hear it?

So had to be around 78/79/80 - I remember it being sold in record bars and maybe 1st hour set or even setting up system set - just because it was different or the same as HB - it’s 1968 so may have been played at the wheel

This is about as bad as it gets 

51 - Stop 

flamingemeralds - new update please what’s gone what’s outstanding- before we all go mad cheers

93 - It takes two 

62 - Pusherman

68 - Waterfall 

80 - TEDDY VANN Coloredman 

5 - Keep the fires burning

Hi, 

Thanks for that, I've never heard the Wilson Pickett before.

Are you sure the record you heard wasn't Don Varner? That was getting some plays a few years back. From the credits it looks like DV was co-writer.

 

 

I’ve heard John Vincent spin this a few times

Kev well done, take the positives, you’ve kept Soul alive, people have enjoyed it, and you’ve raised a few quid - hats off to you and the people who support you - who knows what’s around the corner, I hope you find a suitable venue - to continue 2021 bring it on  

Just had a what's app - from Brian Rae who said about the record - he can only remember it being played a few times at Wigan - either K. Minshull or J Vincent - not sure who ??

HIGH KEYS**** Living a lie (Verve)

It was starting to command a hefty £8 in 77 when Pep found a load of water damaged Verve demos and flooded the market with them - I brought one, always wondered what the marks were from ?? - another mystery solved

Also have tapes (from labeling & track list):

November 1978   Cleethorpes   Soul Sam

April           1979    St. Ives           Soul Sam

 

1979 - St Ives All-nighters were already closed by local council / drug squad 

1979 - The Fleet Peterborough All-nighters maybe not sure if the Embankment was still running then as well ?

I only ever heard this played at EASC allnighters from late 76 / 77 right into the early 80s - not saying it never got plays away from St Ives & Peterborough , its just I don't recall hearing it any where else...........I know Hammie used to play it & (I think ) John Vincent used to spin it too .

Blast from the past at St Ives all-nighters - Ginger / Soul Sam can’t remember ever hearing this at the Casino although I mostly went to the oldies nights - maybe just an East Coast thing always wondered who discovered it and played it first
