RnB is dead

RIP RnB

Overheard at Barnsley a week ago, "RnB has run its course now; no one is up for it except the few hardcore cats n thay are getting fewer".

Has the RnB room run its course? Should venue promoters stop flogging a dead horse?

I am not sure of the answers but I don't see too many chocker block RnB rooms, yup it may just be the venues I am visiting, is there a vibrant scene out there or is it dwindeling off?

The fast version of this is excellent - a real 'stormer' - and because of this, this version does nowt for me...

Betty Lavette did a 'harder' version on Atlantic which I like.

Can't do sound files though sorry.

just listened to it, nicer voice, but not fast or a stormer, not as better for spinning to.

Quite like that McPherson version to be honest

you keep mentioning "spinning too " like it's a northern tune with the spinning nonsense

Don't people spin to R&B recs in the R&B rooms!? I quite like the slinky cat dance performed usually with poeple with hats on to R&B. Don't really get why E.Williams's Trade My Soul To The Devil gets played by Roger Banks in the main rooms while they are playing a £20 tune in the rare rooms. Whilst Maria Willingham refused to play it in the main room and kept it in the rare room.

People with hats, makes me think of Ted Couldstone, but having difficulty picturing him doing a slinky cat dance....

As for the rest of it, I would say it comes with experience. My personal view is that EW is a rare record that has been played by RB for sixteen years or more, which would probably preclude it from the rare rooms apart from maybe the occasional spin.

Is the other version on Tide any cop?

Hello Mulfy baby how ya doin?

Didnt know there was another version of E.Williams on Tide.

No he "dont" lol. But lets face it there woudnt be an r n b little room "scene" (another meaningless new word ?) piggybacking with its poseurs and crap dancefloors if it wasnt for the main northern (truly across the board ) room he so obviously despises .

This is the funniest (and possibly most misguided) post I might ever have read on this forum. Do you have 'SOUL MUG' tattooed on your forehead?

Wotcha Al,

Hope you well mate!

Yes theres one booked at 1K as Jimmy someone or other, (might even be Williams come to think of it) guessing it must be the same record (apart from title being the same) as i've heard there is another as rare version, but haven't heard it. Maybe it is a different recording then?
