Pete S Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Wiganer1 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Anoraks Corner Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 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.

Guest JJMMWGDuPree Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest steve H Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 It's sad about Benny, great voice, but just one thing: why have you a picture of Lloyd Price up instead of Benny? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Another sad loss . Malc 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.
