Don't know if this has been reprted on here elsewhere - if so, forgive the repetition - but the Grim Reaper's been at it again. This time it was the turn of Earl Nelson, perhaps better known to us as Jackie Lee, who passed away last Saturday. A great doo-wopper with the Hollywood Flames and an even greater soul man on his own and with Bob Relf, Earl will be revered as long as there's a Northern Soul scene, and I'm sure I won't be the only one on here who'll be playing a few of his records in rememberance...

Truely sad, as for many his voice would have been amongst the earliest heard when first experiencing northern soul. sad.gif

But will be playing, 'My little girl', 'Shotgun and the duck' and 'Darkest days', today and they will make me smile smile.gif

Very Sad News.

His music has always had a Special Place in my collection
and has enhanced my listening pleasure over the past 39 Years of serious collecting.
One of the first Soul Artists to catch my attention. Always been there on the Northern Soul Scene.

A very great loss.

"The Duck" was one of the tunes that set me on a quest to find more, and"Darkest Days" was the only tune I played twice (afternoon and night) at Stolen Hours in Ramsgate on Saturday, yet I really didn't know of Jackie's passing 'till I read this.

We've lost one of the scene's true greats

With Fred and Bob at the Pearly Gates to meet him I'd wager the guys are sat at some celestial piano knocking songs out like nobody's business. I prefer to look at their legacy than mourn their passing. Great talents, great music, up there with the very best of any genre. Congratulations Mr Nelson on a job well done.

Very sad indeed - my favourite label is Mirwood - just love that sound.

The word legend is used far too lightly these days but on the Northern Scene Jackie Lee is a true legend.

The Duck
Oh My Darling
Darkest Days
Shotgun & The Duck
Temptation Walk
Anything You Want
Your PERSONALITY.

How many artists (apart from the Motown stable) can boast that many "hits" on the Northern scene? Not many!!

I salute you Jackie Lee & may you Rest In Peace.

If my record player still functioned, DD would be on the turntable tonight. Well it wouldn't, because I don't have it. But you know what I mean.
If anyone gets hold of an obituary, could they post it up here?
