A sad loss indeed. He was a wonderful, gracious and kind man.

I was honoured to be able to introduce him live on stage at Prestatyn. A memorable night indeed considering Rob Thomas and I located him to do the gig, not that he was really lost, and that it was Rob who had the first copy of his iconic 45

Here are the lyrics written in Lou's own hand

RIP

Interesting I never knew he was singing "I wrote my baby Special D." always thought it was "Specially"

I know this is a Northern Soul forum, but he recorded quality soul for over 30 years and apart posts about 'Mornin' there's only one mention of his Albatross release let alone his other stuff, shame really.

I thought it was "specially" as well...

Yeah but if you've never heard it how can you say anything about it?

Yep, I have to concede on this one.

Having said that, and read all the comments in this thread, I shall certainly try and listen to more Lou Pride tracks now though.

Your fabulous voice dancing with horns on 'Your Love Is Fading' , and the raw grace that is Morn'un will ignite our dance floors for eternity. RIP Lou.

RIP Lou, recorded one of the top 10 sounds that define the Northern Scene, that makes him special.

RIP Lou.

So Sad, I had the privilge of seeing Lou at the Cluny in Byker. Newcastle several years ago, One of the best artists I have ever seen. His act was professional, sxciting and when he came into the crowd to sing, what can I say, I shook Lou Prides hand!! True Talent, so much more than one record, thank you Lou

Have been going through some of the Dig Deeper archive, including some video from Lou Pride's performance on July 23, 2011, at our 3rd anniversary. The ballad "You were never mine" broke our hearts at the time, and is all the more poignant now. We miss you, Lou.

Will post a few more in the next few days.
