I wrote an article about Van McCoy for Dave Moore's "There's That Beat" - the more I dug into the man the more I was in awe of him. The real highlight was tracking down and befriending David Kapralik his long time partner at Columbia/Date, freckling awesome dude !!:wub::huh:

Van McCoy has been forever synonymous with soul music and not many soul stars can match his contribution. Chris Lalor takes a look at the man, his life, his music and pays tribute to one of the few people who wear the mantle of "legendary" in complete comfort.

Chris,

Is the poster signed by both Chris and Sandi? That's a cool piece of memorabelia Mate. Nice one.

Regards,

Dave

Yes Dave, they did it at New Brunswick in the hotel lobby, they hadn't seen each other for years. What a smashing bloke Bartley was, no wonder Van McCoy loved him :D
