Have told this story before on SS, its still so vivid and tells you just how good the record is, me and my mate Gaz Simon were in Canada at Martin Koppel's in 1989, we went to an industrial estate in Toronto where Martin had a unit that was wall to wall, floor to roof 7 inch vinyl, 4 coloured guys had come up from New York to buy Soul records and Martin was playing them a pile he thought they might be interested in on a small deck on the counter, me and Gaz were buried in dust and vinyl, then we heard the immortal intro to Open the door, after about a minute the guys were whooping and high 5ing and man hugging, I will take that memory with me until I die, its still so vivid Kev

Now Sold, swap not applicable Kev

It never left my mind Chris, you will be in good company mate Kev

Sorry Jens, don't do Facebook, playlists are great, particularly Bar Riche, loads of imagination in the sets, stuff you don't expect to hear out loud, real thinking mans soul Kev

Just had a look back, that Bar Riche is the place to be, awesome sets from Paul, Steve and Wayne, Forth Session, Jerry Butler, Newsounds, Unlimited Four, James Dee etc all massive favourites here, must have been awesome hearing them and the calibre of being played out, shades of the Jim Wray lounge Yarmouth, great stuff indeed Kev

Nice set Philipo, Casanova Two, all timer for me See you in town some time Kev

Second that Andy, the last set by Jadd is particularly fantastic, packed full of brilliant ballads, my type of set Kev

Always loved it Pete, got it on a 45 and the Love Man album Kev

"Could it be" is just awesome Kev

Yes Samantha, they were there on Monday, visitation day, looked marvellous by all accounts Kev

We have lost 2 giants from the world of the music we love, Boba and Don Davis, this is one of the records that connects them, produced by Don and Bob loved these guys, The Dells Kev

I have just come in from a few beers with friends and have seen this, I am totally wiped out by this, spoke to Bob regularly on all things soulful, stroppy at times, you bet, but no bullshit with this fella, knowledge beyond belief, taste, I am biased here, but right up my street, I owe this man so much for his advice and records he put me onto, some so good I have immediately tried to acquire, like this, which I know he told me was one of the greatest Sweet Soul records ever, Bob, totally irreplaceable to us Soul Fans Double O Demingoes-Color one tear black Bob, we will never forget you Kev

R.I.P. Don Davis, will play your music to my dying day Kev

Written by Tony Hester, produced by The Don, Dells-Nothing can stop me https://youtu.be/F4Xee323CWg Kev

This could go on forever, such the genius and volume the man bestowed on us Soul Children-Midnight Sunshine Its hard to top "Whats Happening Baby" this runs it mighty close Kev

As Kegsy says, "Super Taylor" is super, more magic from Davis Kev

Johnnie Taylor-At night time my pillow tells a tale on me Kev

how much did this gem go for ? or is it still up for grabs, never comes up this, 2 fantastic sides Kev

Another marvellous ballad from one of the best vocalists ever David Ruffin-You ought to know me Kev

From the pit of the mans stomach and the bottom of his heart, the best thing the man did IMHO, HEARTBREAKING Lee Fields-The only one loving you Kev

Dito for me Mike, love it Kev
