Thanks Andy, I am a techno numpty, so it practically has to be staring me in the face Kev Ey up Gaz, will get it sorted my man Kev

Hi Andy Is there a link to catch it later Kev

Brilliant and fascinating read Roburt, can't wait for next instalment, me and my mates met him briefly at Prestatyn around 2005 or 2006 I think, it was the Friday when a lot of people were arriving, jut got sorted and were hanging about having a pint, we saw this guy and thought he was one of the Masqueraders so we approached him as he was stood right near us, I will never forget the reply, "No, I'm Lou Ragland" he replied, we were in raptures as we were well aware of his massive influence in soul music in the Ohio area, a fantastic conversation ensued, my lasting memory was, "what a fantastic guy" got a really nice 45 that was produced by him on Day Wood by The 7 Nombres, "Listen People" Kev

Nightmare for me having to read this, dates this year couldn't have fallen any worse for me with regards work and prior commitments, great stuff from the Homies as usual with 2 guests who we know have exceptional taste in all things soulful, as near to perfection as it gets

Me neither, another great catch guys Kev

Will catch up on Monday Jay, ready for this. Kev

A truly awesome collection of soul records here, enjoyed every last second of it, only got one of them which is Faces of Truth and knew maybe 3 others, maybe a well known fact I don,t know but was that Jackey Beavers leading on Soul Continentals ?, great stuff Dave, thanks for posting Kev

Somewhere near how I see it John, to me its a "out of the 60,s but not quite into the 70,s" sound, regardless of tempo, even Sweet Soul collectors are now looking for "that sound" usually a low budget kind of unpolished sound, agree that a lot of examples given are out and out 70,s records with lavish production, Lee "Shot" Williams-It ain't me-UA could fill the criteria Kev

I love male group records and this is up there with the best of em, not saying The Mello Souls ever ran out of legs or ever will, but this came along albeit covered as The Masqueraders at just the right time Kev

At work all weekend Jay, will catch up with it on monday Kev

Hi Robb Voice Masters-Bamboo St Louis surely same group as Two Lovers/In vain in love-Frisco, J Thompson is the writer on these recordings I think ? Kev

Great record, on the flip of another great record "Don,t leave me" Hot Line Kev

Another 2 from the Temps, "I,ve gotta find a way to get you back" and "Truly yours" Kev

https://mixlr.com/sounds-of-soul/showreel/ For anyone who enjoyed Bob,s (oh how we miss him) Sitting in the Park shows then this is a must for you. Just listened to the latest instalment using the above link and can honestly say it was one of the best Soul music shows I have ever heard, Victor Vasquez guesting from San Jose and as expected he played some absolute gems, loads new to me and the one's I did know I love anyway. Fantastic stuff Jay, Al and Vic Kev

running almost parallel with The Burkes at this time was The Simmons family, originally calling themselves The 5 Stepping Stars they then became The Family Circle, the groups leader and writer in chief was the multi talented Charles "Chas" Simmons who I am glad to say is still involved with music projects to this day, had a few conversations with him and he told me they had worked alongside The Burkes. Two very talented Family groups indeed Kev
