another day and yet more sad news

another artist whos music must have touched many peoples lives in many ways

it certainly touched mine

RIP

thanks for passing on

Fortune Teller I think is one of the greatest records of all time, in any genre. One of the very few UK records I kept and still have. "This is for you my love" is nearly as good.

yes one of my endearing memories when brian rae spun this at the end of an era and people rushing to get on the floor............great great record,,,rip

Fortune Teller I think is one of the greatest records of all time, in any genre.

I totally agree...superb lyric and well delivered.

I can also remember the first time I played, 'This Is For You My Love' at the Capitol Soul Club...played in twice in the one night as it caused such a buzz! If the truth be known, I actually bought that disc for the other side, 'It's For You', which I first came across on the Charly LP release...another great slab of New Orleans/Northern Soul.

RIP Benny.

'This Is For You My Love' superb record

very sad news

RIP Benny.

Word Game was one of my first Northern tracks. RIP Benny.

Very sad news, our condolences to all concerned,

It just seems never ending. Another memory dies.

I was late in hearing Benny Spellman. I heard Lipstick Traces on pirate radio (Radio Invicta I think) and being in a group like almost everyone else back then, we just had to do it. Other groups all seemed to be doing Fortune Teller, but I just loved that New Orleans groove of the 'a' side.

RIP Benny.

Even if you had not come across his other work , you will have heard and enjoyed " Fortune Teller " at some point in your life .

Another sad loss .

Agree Totally With Malc A Sad Day Indeed. R.I.P.

It's sad about Benny, great voice, but just one thing: why have you a picture of Lloyd Price up instead of Benny?

thanks for posting

while was checked at the time

it does seem the original image I used does appear to be wrongly titled in a number of places

have replaced

apologies to members for the error

correct malc, as its refered to in the music industry: a standard,,,,an absolute myriad of covers ensued but benny spellmans reading is the proverbial yardstick.
