Which group or artist have you pursued with a passion and would stop at nothing to get everything they've ever done ?

My vice would be Ruby & Romantics, there's something incredibly beautiful and wholesome about the production of Kapp records

Must admit Edward Hamilton ace voice oh so soulful "With A Willing Mind" has got to be one

of the best, underated, pleading, heart wrenching (barely known) uptempo ballads in exsistance.

that's a great shout dj - also my darling baby, soulful mid-tempo at its best.

too many to answer this question honestly richard.

probably the impressions if i absolutely had to choose

can we try and answer the original question please rather than list songs you like.The original topic is a very good idea and should provide an outlet for many of you to have your say.

Marie Knight - which has resulted in a fair bit of dross and a few 78s alongside the gems.

I developed a bit of an Ernestine Anderson for a while once too but it passed.

And Black Sabbath

OK but mine arent soul im afraid, The Who, Small Faces, The Jam, David Bowie. For those of you collecting artists Dave Rimmers book is a gret place to look

Maxine Brown - got a discography printed off somewhere where I've ticked off everything I've got Think I managed about half of her singles but then started wanting too many other things

Lee Williams & The Cymbals is one I never overlook .... don't particularly hunt stuff down but if see anything then get.... not been dissappointed yet ....

Flip is awesome as well.

Been a long term collecter (on and off) of Tavares. Allthough i dont necessarily hunt them out i will always take an opportunity to add something i haven't got or upgrade what i have.

Just got the urge for all of Candi statons singles.

i've got some of the WB singles you can have too

That would have to be Pic & Bill for me (plus loads of other less prolific groups and artists, I guess). Think I have 23 or 24 of their 45s plus a couple of LPs. There still are a couple of pieces by them that I need though.

me too - would luv a demo, let me know if you see two

I'm not sure i'd call it a passion, but i like The Five Stairsteps and i'm slowly buying their stuff on Windy C, Curtom and Buddah.

Also recently Carol Fran and now anything on Port is my new collection (although it's a pretty big list). I like the dinky little label

Betty Lavette - Still need her duet with Hank Ballard.

Brothers Of Soul.

Margie Hendrix (after reading a short article in Mojo stating that she had never released a solo 45 - yeah, right.)

Five Royales 60's releases.

Harold Burrage.

Betty Harris (Still want a copy of her UK Action LP).

Different issues of Gloria Taylors 'You Got To Pay The Price' - think I'm up to about 5 different ones now.

for me marvin smith and the artistics.

The Band of Holy Joy

David Bowie - at one point I had literally everything ever released in the UK and as many of the variations as possible world wide, meaning I had like 18 copies of Ziggy Stardust! Had over 200 vinyl bootlegs, over 500 live tapes. I bailed out just before cd's became popular. I collect the Sex Pistols as well.

aint that such a great record if it was rare everybody would be chasing it - presume you've got it on the funky blue vinyl Silver Fox white demo which is pretty damn neat! Would be interested to know what 5 releases you've got.

cheers,

derek

must check the Billboard Top 100 book when I get home to see if she ever hit the charts with it (be it pop or RnB) they must have had great faith in the song to release it several times.

No demo's - all issues

King Soul (purple label)

Silver Fox (multi)

Silver Fox (black)

Wouldn't mind demo's of any of the above.

Came out on Polydor (UK) as well I think. Well not think, it did. One copy would be enough...

"You got to pay the price" on Silver Fox 14 entered the Billboard R&B charts on 18 October 1969 peaked at no 9 and stayed in the charts for 12 weeks. Got to no 49 in the Billboard Pop charts as well.

Has to be Mary Wells for me, Everlovin Boy, Dear Lover etc etc. Ruby & romantics, We can make it What a tune

Has to be Lorraine Chandler for me. What a team she had in NYC in the 6Ts. Jack Ashford, Mike Terry and Ivy Joe Hunter, not to mention all the rest of the RCA crew.

Never managed to get a copy of Tell Me Your Mine. All her RCA recordings are awesome. Brenda Holloway not far behind though.
