I have been told that the Huns Review was the band, and the Soul Brothers feature on the vocal.

JOHN & the WEIRDEST, you can't get a more weird name than that!

"Can't Get Over These Memories/ No Time" are fantastic recordings, but a strange choice of group name. I beleive this is Johnny Hendley and group.

I did a topic like this years ago when I asked if people with names of soul singers would get picked on at school here in the UK; erm, Pervis Herder for a start...

Pimbrock Skiggs "That was yesterday" not a bad monicker,nice tune.

ATB Steve

THE CHILD OF FRIENDSHIP TRAINROBBERS??? PERK LEE?PUNCHY AND EARLY WARNING SYSTEM, THE REGGIE SADDLER REVUE?? ALVINCASH AND THE REGISTERS.....ETC ETC.

I have been told that the Huns Review was the band, and the Soul Brothers feature on the vocal.

The term 'review' was used by performing acts that would have multiple personas - for example, they would do a set as a stripped down R&B act, then a set with some 'special guest' vocalist (if the primary singer was male, the special guest would be a woman), and a set of ballad/torch songs. They don't mean review like a movie review.

youngblood smith

youngblood smith

youngblood was a common nickname and smith is a common name

youngblood was a common nickname and smith is a common name

I agree.....Youngblood is almost as common as 'Bort'..............

Bort is a common name in Holland

Derc Hetzog--Church Going Girl

ducky and the glowlighters on uptown,

Demetrius Tripp on Brunswick

Actually not a bad track

Thats Playboys spelt backwards just in case anyone didn't notice

Demetrius Tripp on Brunswick

Actually not a bad track

Is actually Demetriss Trapp. She made loads of records in the 60's, must have been well known

"Yeah it's Falana, but you can call me Fluffy".

Thats Playboys spelt backwards just in case anyone didn't notice

It's actually Splayboy, (ooh er) without wishing to nit pick.

How about this one then - Aki Aleong -Giving up on love - Vee-jay

What sort of name is that

The good ship sails on the Aki Aleong The Aki Aleoong The Aki Aleong

Were they having a laugh when Veep put out a track by Willie and the Handjives???

and Wynder.k.Frog

Godoy Colbert; Willie Colon; Gamma Goochee (Himself) eh?

Off at a tangent I know but I'm still awestruck whenever I recall 1970s boxer's 'ring monickers' from my youth. Personal faves include

Ray 'Boom Boom' Mancini; John 'The Beast' Mugabe and my all-time personal fave: Dave 'The Chatteris Fen Tiger' Boy Green (Who, from memory, was kin bobbins)

Gearlene Ducket. Sounds like a brand of engine oil.

BENZINE : maybe the only hydrocarbon to bother the NS scene?

two words.................. 'Nappy Brown'

yeah i know hundreds of youngbloods mate

Stone Deaf Village Choir

Apparently hadn't talked to their marketing man when they thought that one up

Is actually Demetriss Trapp. She made loads of records in the 60's, must have been well known

...er, better make that 'Tapp', mate. She was indeed quite well known as a songwriter, she was married to Bob Tubert (himself a fairly high profile Country songwriter and producer). Good looking woman, too....

Are you sure, I thought she was a member of the famous Von Trapp family who recorded some cool stuff in Austria many years ago...

Were they having a laugh when Veep put out a track by Willie and the Handjives???

Nah, tis a great tune

They were surely referencing Johnny Otis with all his Handjive tunes- one of which was entitled

"Willie and the Handjive"

but I'll chuck in Tim Tam and The Turn Ons.

Tony "Youngblood"P

Lou Rawls?

I've always found Emanuel Laskey a bit odd. Whether Emanuel is a good or bad first name is up to personal taste. But how on earth did a black singer from Detroit end up with a typical east prussian/polish surname?

not wierd, just a gob full, JOHNSON,HAWKINS TATUM AND DURR, (although DURR might have got some stick in my school), dont know why

JOHNSON, HAWKINS, TATUM & DURR - YOU CANT BLAME ME - CAPSOUL -

choo choo montgomery

What about all those black 'scotsmen'?

Jock Mitchell, Maurice McAllister, Billy McGregor etc..

Mick

Artus Satterfield

Patience Valentine.

Rufus Lumley.

Barry Barefoot Beefus

Lukas Lollipop

Ian D just shades it for me
