Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 1) "Love Don't Feel Like Love No More" on Juana. 2) He is still around. John RIdley interviewed him about 2 years ago. He's getting up there in years, though, and he hadn't been terribly well when John spoke with him. I get the impression that his singing days are over, from the way John wrote...

Soulsmith Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Double up does it for me on the uptempo side. I'm Glad To Do It is excellent on the deeper slower side Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
bri pinch Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 he must be in his late 60 t's early 70 t's by now, as he first recorded under his real name of junior lewis in the early 60 t's. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Actually he's much older than that, Bri - he made his first record in 1953, on 78 only as far as I'm aware! His real name, Clarence Lewis, appears as a co-writer on numerous R & B classics that came out in the late 50s and early 60s e.g. Buster Brown's 'Fannie Mae', Lee Dorsey's 'Ya Ya' and Lightnin' Hopkins' 'Mojo Hand'. Now while he was a good songwriter I don't personally believe that he wrote any of those, so I wonder what kind of deal he struck with Bobby Robinson (on whose Fire/Fury labels they all originally appeared) to be rowed in for a piece of those and other songs of Fire/Fury, like Elmore James' 'The Sky Is Crying' and 'Done Somebody Wrong'...

Jim Elliott Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Never forgiven Ady for putting 'The man who had everything' on Big city soul album all those years ago, blew me away as a 17 year old and still does. 'What can I do'', 'Love don't feel like love' and 'Fools love'..............wonderful. Ps Does anybody know how much the Clintone 45 is? I love it and want it. ATB Jim. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

This is the record to which I was referring, only you got the date right and I didn't! I can add that it came out in August 1955 if you want to be even more precise...

Philippe Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Tony, I read it in the article by John Ridley in ITB. John also mentionned and reviewed that elusive South African LP. Edited August 8, 2011 by Philippe Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Tony, I read it in the article by John Ridley in ITB. John also mentionned and reviewed that elusive South African LP. I have that album myself - it's a bit of a mixed bag, but some of it is very good indeed. Found my copy years ago in the reggae section at Record and Tape Exchange in Goldhawk Road, on one of my occasional visits there. It had obviously been in stock for a while, and had worked its way down to 30 pence from a starting price of eight quid. Clearly no reggae fans were interested, and no soul fan would have bothered looking there for it. As the cover was stil EX++ and the record inside was stone mint, I had a bit of a result, if you ask me! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
