  1. The BG/BE story is true. BG mentioned it on a Radio 2 interview celebrating the 50th Motown anniversary. He actually said BE gave him 3 hours to decide, there were hardly any execs about to make a decision. The ones available he asked all agreed to reject the BE offer so BG phoned back and accepted it! That's what happens when you're the boss. Paul
  2. Surprised black puddings never even got a look in.....fake news. You can tell how skillful that fella contributing is as you can't even tell he has a ferret running up and down the inside of his strides! Just remember everyone on the scene was universally welcomed irrespective of geographical location, but then again the scene wasn't the norm. Paul
  3. Thanks for a belting night. Top tunes. Paul n Lorna
  4. I remember years ago in PC World and a young tech geek was filling my head with all sorts of confusing terminology about an impending laptop purchase. As I was at tech lingo breaking point on comes Tony Clarke Landslide. That was his time to be confused as I jigged around his expansive impromtu dance floor. Cheers Tony, you saved me! Might have been a great deal on the laptop,I'll never know. Paul
  5. What a great event. Top diverse music and an exceptional venue. Highly recommended. Paul n Lorna

    Soul on Sunday

    Sounds like a plan. See ya Sunday. Paul
  7. I seem to recall that short phase being christened 'lollopping'. Looked too enegetic to remain around for too long. Paul
  8. Great venue, people, and top notch, imaginative oldies. Cheers for looking after me and highlight of the night was Lois who 'couldn't dance' but managed to stun us all by seamlessly moving from a spin straight into the perfect splits......go girl.
  9. Went to SOS at Bradford Sunday afternoon.Seemed nicely busy with great quality music (always measured by how long since I've heard certain records out) Nice warm, welcoming crowd.Standout tune Teen Turbans NTBL, sounded ace. Paul
  10. Someone who took The Rosebuds on Tower off my hands several years ago for 50.00. Saved valuable space! Paul
  11. Good artist/group. I am led to believe that Ben kept the 'little' until his father passed as a mark of respect as his father was also an accomplished singer. Paul
  12. What a brilliant day. Ace music, venue and people. Will be back. Thanks everybody. Paul n Lorna
  13. One of the most obscure I ever saw was The Hot Biscuit Disc Co. Looked like a big expense for a small label. Paul
  14. You are joking. Will have a look. Thankz as they say. Paul
  15. Hi All, I recall skipping around You Tube several years ago and tumbling over an instrumental of The Chandlers YLML Wasn't called YLML. Can somebody help me to find it again please? Thanks in advance. Paul
  16. RIP. Could have sat back after The Shoop Shoop song but carried on and left us some gems. One in a million Tears Everybody plays the fool (sublime) Paul
  17. If I was pushed I'd go for Take My Heart Mary Saxton as a good early example of a tailor made attempt albeit Canadia Allergies suit me, don't believe they mis represent anything, just combine the juicy bits from tunes and add their touch. As we do our thing highlights that arresting Motown drum intro. Was it Nile Rogers quoting Schubert that said....good musicians borrow music, great musicians steal it! Paul
  18. Think..... I ain't goin' nowhere - Junior Walker Just about sums it up. Paul
  19. Had always thought they named the group after the road (Stemmons Expressway) due to it's notoriety as the scene of JFK's fatal shooting. Paul
