Paul Shirley Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Judy Freeman & Black Rock for the full title. If any seasoned Soul fans from Norwich are reading this then they may know a guy called Paul Moore (Moorso) and they may remember that we used to sing Paul Moore to the refrain of Hold On (go on, put it on and sing it and you'll see....). Mick just sold it . could never understand what the fuss was about .words are inprinted in my head everytime i played it .once saying over the mic i think thats called er? hold on . anyway eah to there own for me its got to be the exciters Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest DeeJay Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 like most of you I've known and loved all of the obvious northern things, but I only heard Sonny Til - "Tears and misery" for the first time about 3 years ago, and it still makes me shiver ! https://www.youtube.c...h?v=RosBg3P8XC4 cheers, Denny Thanks for this post, nice choon, just added to the want list. How much does it go for-anyone?. With regards to my fave, must admit first record to pass through my mind was same as Mark (Faye Crawford) but it is tough there have been some beauties.

Wilxy Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 A tough call, as the label output contained so many great favourites, but would agree with an earlier post with reference to the Pied Piper productions.....due to Detroit bias on my own part I might add.......

Gene-R Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I'm feeling brave so I'll admit that when I was at school I liked "Devils Drive" by Big Boris. Not soul, not American, not very trendy, but who cares? It had a great bass line. Big Boris was a pseudonym for arranger Johnny Arthey. Paul So does that mean the rumour of Big Boris being a Jamaican musician resident in the UK is untrue then? Or was it just confusing Johnny Arthey with his work for labels like Trojan?
