As Marvin Steals(lead singer 4 Perfections) said to me, why is the UK interested in this song when I won a Grammy for Could It Be I'm Falling In Love!

My friend and I created a website that allows for the indexing of old soul and funk performance clips that are spread across different youtube,
dailymotion, etc. accounts. The site is here:
https://www.changings...%20Performances[
The idea is that there is a bunch of cool video content spread across the internet and I wanted to collect and accumulate it in one place and index it by artist, date, TV show, etc. So I created this forum on this site.
Anyone can go to the page I linked above and view the already submitted content. If you click on the "filter" tab you can browse the existing content by artist, year, TV show, etc.
Additionally, if people want to
participate and submit new content or comment and rate existing content, they can sign up on the main page at www.changingscene.com, join the channel I linked above, and then they can comment on existing videos on submit new videos by clicking the
"submit" link in the upper right hand corner. This isn't a video hosting site, you just submit links to existing youtube, dailymotion, or other video hosting site videos. You can also subscribe to the channel and get an email on each new clip on the "dashboard" page.
The channel above is only intended for artist performances or real artist music videos, not recordings or fan-made videos. There is also a gospel performances channel at
https://www.changings...%20Show%20Clips
There is also a sweet soul recordin channel at:

Hi Kev ,I never said it was a failed Wigan spin , those tapes were home made from Gillys records that he brought round .Think Skip Jackson was a Mecca side wasn't it ? Best,Eddie
Eddie. Apologies.. I get so used to saying 'failed Wigan'.
It may have been played at the Mecca, but I had endless copies in 1975. It was very difficult to sell. The very awful(IMO) Superbs- Happiest Girl In The World(from the same company)though was easy to sell!
The mid 70's were a little wayward. John Poole met me in 1976. I gave him a choice.. Nikki Blu on Parkway for £20 or The Professionals Thats Why I Love You.....he chose Nikki Blu as it was more popular that year!

The Moses Smith (OOTP) version was speeded up for the market as you know,but what about the Sandbag orig?.Any takers on that,first spun,found etc??.
Was it Soussan?.
Simon Soussan Yes. A fantastic ear and top notch discoverer of Northern Soul and one of the funniest guys I have ever met. Calling Ian D..

So you played it first ? Firm Wigan tune.Off topic slightly - Babysitters on Spectator...boot or not.?
[/quote
Not a boot. That plus the Charlotte Stokes on Tip were made by Herb, the owner of the masters. Both were unreleased in 1967. The Ltd 45's were released in 1978. 300 copies each if I remember correctly.
The Baby Sitters were led by Ken Williams, he of the Superiors and Okeh]
-
Stronger than her love - Flirtations .Was that "he who should not be mentioned"?
Written as a toothpaste commercial minus the title of course. My dear departed friend Herb Abrahamson gave me tapes to the instrumental which was included on a Goldmine cd 15 years ago. The same source supplied me with the Baby Sitters- Wait Til I Get To Know Ya and Charlotte Stokes- Is This The Price I Have To Pay.
Now back on topic.... Who discovered/played 'I Walked Away- Bobby Paris.

I then found one a couple of days after looking through your box but never actually played therefore I should be just mildly flayed.......
Who was responsible for "My Heart's Symphony" and "Good Little You" both by Joey Dee though?
They should be skinned, sprayed with salt and then surgically disected and disemboweled, fed to carniverous wolves and then the bones should be set alight. After that you can piss on their graves LOL.......
Nearest I got to out and out Pop was Barnaby Bye, Felix Caveliere and Benny Troy.......
Ian D
Gary Lewis - Richard 1974, Joey Dee....the geezer with long hair from Nottingham way.
PS The latter officially owns up to 'Put Your Heart In It' too!

Couple more to be claimed? - Epitome of Sound and Morris Chestnut.
Morris Chestnut - Ian Levine I think.
Epitome of Sound- Both Russ and I received acetates from Simon S a few months before the first original finally surfaced.
And one I totally forgot.....I had the first Casualeers from SS unless anyone claims they played it before Wigan.

With the odd sneaky Northerner pre-Wigan sourcing Carl Douglas, Frankie and the Classicals, Brothers Grimm from Morris's on Tottenham Ct Rd plus the confectioners in Bethnal Green with all the MGM demos(qty on Kim Weston and Johnny Nash) before stupidly leaving several copies of Jethro Toe(Tull).....the re-sales certainly helped my box improve! Spring of '73......

Ian.... Who else could discover such blinding tunes as Dean Courtney and Paul Anka. Look no further than 'Baby Boy' himself.. or Simone as Pattie Brooks calls him!
As a separate talking point... The 3 main discoverer's of the scene's heritage sides: Ian Levine, John Anderson, Simon Soussan.

Who found "Skiing In The Snow" - The Invitations?
It was always incredibly rare - only around 2 (or maybe 3 copies) when it was huge and it never really turned up, so whoever found that first copy really found a beauty. I also heard a story about someone finding the 3rd copy which
got destroyed in a car crash on the way to the Torch. Does
anyone know this story
Ian D
Good one. Here's a few more 'who discovered's'
Pre-73/ Fidels, Sandi Sheldon, Shalimars, Danny White- Cracked.
Golden Era/ R. Dean Taylor-Ghost, Yum Yums, Tomangoes.
Post 81/ Tommy Ridgley, Karmello Brooks.
Kev's useless trivia No.927...... Soul Sam first played Rubin's-You've Been Away at the Top Rank, Hanley early 1974.
No.928....Long before Top of the World All Nighters I played Joanne Courcey on Twirl in 74 at the same venue's Monday Soul nights.

It wouldn't have been the first one, I had 5 out of there for about $5-10 but I can't remember if they were the first, sold 'em to Sam and Ginger and others at St Ives, Got half a dozen New York In The Darks from there too.
Ady- Unless you found it before 77 this had to be the first one. By the time MK swooped, no one in the UK had ever heard of it.
I remember a few weeks later racing to Brooks Records, Plainfield, NJ to try and find more. George Clinton used this store a lot in the 60's to drop stock to the owner.

well $100 was a lotta money back then
The weird thing was I found the most in demand single that week Eddie Garrigan(Fontana)! I rarely gave the 'played out' Del Larks a second thought.
I paid $1 for it!
so how much did the del larks demo set u back?
Who Discovered What ?
in All About the SOUL
A real surprise Barbara West going down at Wigan, it's so far removed from the playlist back then. I remember it as a Soul
pack 45 from Contempo around 72. Someone else had a lot of it too.... FL Moore?
Either way it's a great side.
