Sunday Picture Quiz

Posted

Just tried to post this but it disappeared. I'll have another go and hope it doesn't duplicate.

As usual our mystery person is an artist who has had at least one tune played on the Northern Soul scene but not really a soul singer.

I'll take questions to which I can answer 'yes' or 'no' - and will provide more clues as we go along. All depends on people joining in but judging by previous weeks there are loads of good sports on here. Last week we had Curtis Lee whose tune still (rightfully) gets played.This time it's one from the dark days when anything with the right beat was acceptable...

Need to get this sorted. So:

Northern tune from Wigan 'pop' era. There's also a slightly later version by another group who also did a song that Dusty covered. Lots of other people too including an instrumental version by a later variation of the second band. Our guy did the Northern tune as a solo artist though and it's (clearly) a white stomper.

Label sounds like it should be a taxi firm or removal company...

...I'm giving it away now.

Bobby King,magnificentmen ? a long shot.

I think we've had Jerry almost every every week

No sweat Sandi

he looked a bit cooler when younger - although very country as you'd expect from a Cricket

Right. The band that that did the other version of his Northern tune also had a hit with a tune that was pretty big on the Northern scene a few years ago via an unreleased version by the Supremes. Come on pop fans.

Can you tell it's getting near bed time...

Bob Kuban?

and the In Men?

See where your coming from but our guy's Northern tune was credited to him as solo artist. Sounds like he was company starved for a period of time too...

Fraid not Cod. Ta for having a guess though.

Maybe I should clarify. It was a much shorter period.

Also his earlier band has the same name as a band that Joe Walsh from the Eagles was in.

Furthermore, I mentioned that the record label sounds like a taxi or removal firm. Now what do they always do...

..in the phone book...
