Jaco Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Always liked "Uphill climb" a Searling favourite from his Red Rose radio days. Sad news and I can't imagine he was very old. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Polyvelts Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 A great southern soul guy gone. RIP. Remember hearing Stuart Cosgrove playing 'Uphill climb' as a guest on Bob Jones Solar radio show as a new release and being completely blown away as Dr Bob was too !!
