In the photo, the backdrop look like something from the 50's and the trombone suggests he's the trombonist in a 'band', rather than a member of R&B / R&R beat combo, or is that a red herring? If not, is he xxxxx & the somethings? And his name is the same on the record?

I keep thinking of the likes of Bob Kuban, Frankie Ford, Bill Black's Combo, Am I barking up the right tree?

That's about three questions.

In order I'd say

No

No

Yes

oops - I missed that last question. I think naming a whole bunch of artists is cheating, but on this occasion I'll tell you it's none of them. So Yes - it's the wrong tree up which you are barking :thumbup:

did we establish an instrument? did he play the trombone?

That's two questions. However we need to get this done tonight as I'm busy all day tomorrow and out in the evening so:

No you haven't established an instrument - but it doesn't matter to this quiz which one.

Yes he did play trombone. He was well known for it apparently. Makes no difference to this quiz as it's got really got anything to do with his Northern Soul record. Actually there are some but pretty low in the mix near the end so don't get hung up on the 'bone.

( Teddy Vann)..thumbup.gif

Actually you're closer with teddy Not for his soul credentials though.

Time for more clues: as well as thinking about Teddy Vann I can tell you've I've already mentioned a word that's in the title of Mystery Guy's record in an earlier post. On purpose.

its the flasher himself, lloyd micheals, without his mistura

about time you joined in Cod. Nope though. I see you've cottoned on to the jazz business but don't let that lead you astray. His Northern tune was a 'genre' type record but not jazz. As you can probably tell I'm near the end of the wine and getting close to bedtime...
