whats that on your finger.......willie kendricks

Ours was 'I am your man' 4 Tops ( on the Nature Planned It LP only), great for the first slowie, bride and groom job and very wedding-apt lyrics !

Wouldn't bother with 'In law Trouble' though unless you want a fight at closing!

Hi julie, my fiancee and i love that joe anderson -you and i track, and have been trying desperatly to find a copy on disc for our wedding song, seen it on vinyl but its really expensive. Do you no of any links or sites where i could download a copy, or if its on any compalation cd's.

would be really grateful for any help, thanks. jaimie.

A couple of years ago, Paul and Mandy (soul shrews) from Amsterdam asked if we could get a CD put together for a friends wedding.

It took an age, thinking, discussing, sourcing and making but finally got it sorted just in time

for the nuptuals.

Title I remember most was Tab Walton, if you love me, an old Sam and I think Arthur play.wub.gif

Well it cost a bob or two to send special delivery, but hey ho we did leave it late!

Got a phone call the next evening from Mandy, and I was sure she would have been blown

away by the effort put in and was waiting for the praise to come but NO....................................no.gif

she called to say the parcel had arrived, took ten mins to open the secure packaging

to find empty box with full track listing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!swoon.gif

The CD was still in our recorder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!frusty2.gif

Sh*t Happens xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Karen (and Pete)

Edited by karen b

Don't play the following:

FREDA PAYNE - BAND OF GOLD

MILLIE JACKSON - HOUSE FOR SALE

MARTHA REEVES - NO ONE THERE

Hi All

Thankyou all for all your suggestions. We are having an hour of northern whether the mere mortals like it or not .. I am sure they have heard half of them on TV adverts by now... KTF

Thanks Again

Mark

This one should do the trick. Wanna Spend My Whole Life With You Baby.

None soulwise then how about Firehouse - Finally Found the Love of a Lifetime......you'll either cry or puke.

Edited by Bicks

Mark

All the best

Our second wedding song was Willie Hutch Lucky to be loved by you, the first was Lenny Kravitz but lets no go there the wife wanted that one.

Other suggestions would be

Barbara Lynn - I'm a good woman or one of my all time favs I dont want a playboy.
